- There are a lot of buses, neither do you know them, nor do they know you. If there is anything happens to your belongings, you have noone to ask for help.
- During festivals time in Vietnam (Independence holiday, King ceremony holiday, New Year holiday...), local people often plan their holiday in advance. Bus tickets to Cao Bang mostly fully booked very soon. Therefore it is difficult for you to purchase ticket by yourself if you have a narrow plan.
