Transport in Laos is painstakingly slow. The country is so hilly that it's impossible to build a straight road. Given these conditions the buses are forced to go slow along the endlessly winding roads. The locals are unaccustomed to travelling such long distances by vehicle and so suffer sever motion sickness, heightened by the constant swaying around the many corners.
It takes 9 - 10 hours to cover roughly 220km!
