Phu Quoc is a famous resort island located on the southern coast of Vietnam, very close to Cambodia. This place is considered a peaceful island paradise; Not as busy as Bali (Indonesia).
Especially recently, Phu Quoc has proposed to pilot international visitors with vaccination certificates from October.
Foreign tourists coming here can experience Phu Quoc comfortably but are not allowed to go to the mainland, and most guests will arrive via charter flights.
If visitors come to Phu Quoc for about 7-10 days, The Travel suggests the following things to note:
There is an international airport on the island that can welcome guests on direct flights from Europe, so it is convenient for guests to move and enter.
At the airport, there are sim cards, phone cards for guests to use phone services, internet, and foreign currency exchange.
Traveling on the island, guests can call a taxi or rent a motorbike to explore on their own for about 200,000 VND/day.
