The buses have three rows of beds two storeys high, they’re a bit cramped but being so cheap, it’s hard to travel any other way. When booking at the Sinh Café in Hanoi we weren’t given the option of choosing a seat and ended up on the back row.

As it turns out, not only was the bus full but two of the beds were taken up by three people.
