Hanoi hanggang Lao Cai Sleeper Train Sa pamamagitan ng Chapa Express

셔틀버스까지 예약했는데 픽업장소와 시간이 따로 지정이 되지 않아서 초조해하고 있는데 당일에 연락이 와서 제가 머물고 있는 호텔과 픽업시간을 카톡으로 알려주더라고요. 픽업시간은 18시에서 18시30분으로 알려주었고 저희는 18시 30분경에 픽업을 하러 왔어요. 근데 저희 단독이 아니고 15인승 차에 가득 태워서 갑니다. 저희 호텔이 맨 마지막이었는데 저희 가족은 3명인데 저는 따로 앉아서 갔어요. 그리고 라오까이역까지 1시간이 조금 않걸렸는데 1시간 내내 산에서 계속 내려오면 라오까이역 도착입니다. 라오까이역 도착하면 약 1시간 20분정도 여유시간 있는데 그때 밖에 나가서 식사하시면 됩니다. 라오까이역 나오시면 왼쪽에 바오바오콴가서 드세요. 맛있어요. 그리고 기차타면 저희는 4인실 예매했는데 나머지 한자리는 애기랑 엄마가 같이 탔더라고요. 그리고 바우처는 역에 도착하면 1층에 바로 차파익스프레스 라운지가 보이고 가지고 있는 바우처와 여권 보여주면 객실번호가 찍힌 티켓을 이메일로 보내줍니다. 그걸로 찾아가면 됩니다.하노이까지 8시간 걸리는데 기차가 덜컹거려서 잘은 못잔것 같습니다. 암튼 좋은 경험이었습니다.

Ang sleeper train ay napakaganda. Kahit na 40 minuto bago ang pag-alis ay puno ang lounge sa Hanoi Station at hindi kami makapasok, agad naman kaming inasikaso papunta sa aming bagon kaya walang naging problema. Nag-book kami sa Chapa, ngunit marahil puno na sila, kaya sa Tonkin Heritage na bagon kami napunta. Malinis at maganda ang loob ng silid, at magalang ang mga staff. Ang private cabin ay may kasamang bottled water, snacks, toothbrush, suklay, at earplugs, at nagdadala rin sila ng beer at soda. May water dispenser din sa pasilyo, ngunit walang baso, kaya mas mainam kung magdadala ng sariling mug o bote kung gusto ng mainit na inumin. Dumating ang tren sa tamang oras, ngunit halos isang oras kaming naghintay sa shuttle bus pagdating sa Sapa bago ito umalis. (Mukhang kinakausap nila ang mga turistang wala pang transportasyon para mapuno ang bus. ← Narinig ko ito mula sa isang pasahero na kinumbinsi nilang sumakay.) Kaya, ang breakdown ng aking rating ay: tren ⭐7, bus ⭐3.

Naging maganda ang aming karanasan sa pagsubok ng Chapa Express mula Hanoi patungong Sapa (Lao Cai station). Madali lang ang pagkuha ng Klook vouchers; pagdating sa Hanoi train station, sumakay sa escalator paakyat sa ikalawang palapag at makikita mo ang Chapa Express VIP Room kung saan ka magche-check in. Medyo maliit ang VIP Room at puno ito kaya sa labas na lang kami umupo. Tatawagin ka ng staff kapag oras na para sumakay sa tren. Ang mga cabin ay medyo komportable at maginhawa at nagbigay sila ng saging, mineral water at iba pang Vietnamese snacks. Malinis ang palikuran at mayroon ding hiwalay na lababo sa labas. Ang buong biyahe ay tumagal ng humigit-kumulang 8 oras ngunit hindi kami gaanong nakatulog dahil medyo maingay sa kahabaan ng riles kahit may earplugs. Pagdating sa Lao Cai, sumakay kami sa isang pre-booked na van patungong Sapa town center na tumagal pa ng 40 minuto. Sa pangkalahatan, maganda naman ang karanasan ngunit mas gugustuhin kong sumakay sa overnight sleeper bus sa susunod.

เปิดประสบการณ์ใหม่ในการนั่งรถไฟจากฮานอยไปซาปา ได้รับความรู้สึกที่ค่อนข้างประทับใจในเรื่องของบรรยากาศและระหว่างการเดินทาง ส่วนจุดที่ต้องคิดคือค่าโดยสารที่แพงกว่ารถบัสหลายเท่าตัว และความสั่นของรถไฟ ส่วนจุดที่ไม่ชอบที่สุดคือเครื่องดื่มบริการตอนเช้า ไม่มีการบอกว่าต้องจ่ายเพิ่มไปตัดสินใจซื้อกาแฟไป พอตอนเช้ามีการเรียกเก็บราคาต่อแก้วแต่จำราคาไม่ได้ ราคาสมเหตุสมผลแต่ควรมีการแจ้งก่อนว่าถ้ารับจะต้องจ่ายเพิ่ม ที่เลานจ์มีบริการรับฝากกระเป๋า แต่ไม่สามารถนำอาหารจากข้างนอกไปทานข้างในได้ ช่วงที่ไปของคนค่อนข้างเยอะและอากาศค่อนข้างร้อนกว่าข้างนอก รถไฟมีห้องน้ำในตัว มีแปรงสีฟันยาสีฟันให้ แต่สิ่งที่แนะนำที่สุดเลยคือพกน้ำขวดไปล้างหน้าแปรงฟันด้วย ห้ามใช้น้ำที่ก๊อกของรถไฟเด็ดขาดเพราะกลิ่นแรงมากจนอาเจียน

Bago gamitin, nabasa ko ang mga komento tungkol sa mga disadvantage tulad ng hindi pagkaunat ng binti ng mga taong lampas 185cm ang taas, at ang ingay at pag-alog ng tren na nakakaistorbo sa pagtulog. Nag-alala ako, ngunit ang aking asawa, na sensitibo sa pagtulog, ay nakatulog nang mahimbing sa loob ng 6 na oras, at ako, na 188cm ang taas, ay hindi rin gaanong nahirapan at nakatulog nang mahimbing. Bumili kami ng tubig at meryenda bago sumakay, ngunit ang ibinigay na tubig, saging, at meryenda ay sapat na, kaya kung hindi ka naman magpapakabusog bago matulog, hindi mo na kailangan ng meryenda. Sa pagbalik, gagamitin namin ang bus, at excited akong ikumpara ang dalawa. Napakakumportable rin ng Lao Cai-Sapa shuttle bus, at napakahusay magmaneho ng driver kaya nakarating kami nang mabilis at kumportable. Kung may pagkakataon kayo, umupo kayo sa harap.

comfortable cabin, easy process of redeeming e ticket upon check in at chapa express vip lounge. private car pickup was also very smooth to avoid the touts. great experience for family. kid below 5 is foc to fit in cabin

A very memorable experience! I went to Sapa by sleeper bus and intentionally chose the Chapa Express sleeper train for the return trip. Before departure, the Chapa Express team contacted me via WhatsApp to confirm the booking and inform us about our cabin type. They also sent a reminder the day before, including hotel pick up details. At Lao Cai Station, there is a VIP lounge exclusively for Chapa Express passengers where you can shower and enjoy food while waiting for departure. The train carriage and cabin were very clean. Snacks, soft drinks, and power outlets were provided inside the cabin. The bed was comfortable, not too hard, and the blanket was thick enough for a good night’s sleep. The only adjustment needed was getting used to the train’s movement and the sound of the tracks. The toilet was also clean and dry. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a unique and comfortable travel experience. transport included: yes seat reservation process: easy

후회 없는 선택이였어요! 그나라의 교통을 이용하여 여행할 수 있었고~ 하노이역에서 이용시 vip 라운지 직원들이 너~무 친절해서 열차까지 불편함 없이 이용할수 있어서 좋았습니다. 또한 사파역어서 호텔이용 버스도 패키지로 예약하여 편하게 이동했습니다.다음 여행도 클룩과 함께~~~

Pakiramdam: Maganda ang lounge, puwedeng magpahinga bago sumakay ng tren. Ang nakakagulat ay nakuha ko ang kama na may numerong 25, at wala ang numerong ito. Ngunit nakahanap pa rin ang staff ng kama para sa akin sa pamamagitan ng paglipat sa ibang bagon at bagong numero ng kama, na ikinasiya ko pa rin. Malinis ang kama at maganda ang kapaligiran, kasama na ang banyo. Nagustuhan ko ito at babalik ako muli. Serbisyo ng Shuttle: Kung nag-book ng Shuttle Bus, pagdating sa istasyon sa umaga ay makikita ang staff na may hawak na sign na may pangalan at kailangang maghintay hanggang mapuno ang lahat ng upuan bago umalis patungong Sapa ayon sa nakasaad na tirahan.

Amazing and incredibly relaxing train trip from Hanoi to Lao Cai (Sapa). Highly recommend a private cabin and access to the VIP lounge, definitely makes all the difference, what was even better was there wss showers at Lao Cai station in the VIP lounge to refresh yourself after the overnight trip.
