Phu Quoc Island Guide

Everything you need for Phu Quoc, Vietnam — in one file.

Vietnam's tropical island escape — white sand, seafood markets, Gulf sunsets.

It is a magazine, not a listicle: 38 designed A4 pages, 56 photographs, and 366 prices we checked ourselves in 2026 — in euros, as honest ranges instead of made-up single numbers. Every venue, every ticket and every airport transfer links to a real page you can open: 261 live links and 129 Google Maps pins.

What’s inside

• What a day actually costs — three honest budgets for Phu Quoc: about €35 shoestring, €75 comfortable, €160 flash, built from real transit fares, real beds and real plates of food.
• Where to stay, and why — all 6 areas with a clear “best for”: Duong Dong, Long Beach (Bai Truong), Ong Lang, An Thoi and Sunset Town — and more, so you don’t book in the wrong place and spend the week in taxis.
• Eating, from cheap and brilliant to special occasion — Night-market seafood, bún quậy and fish sauce straight from the barrel. Every place priced, every place with a live map pin.
• Getting in and getting around — airport options linked to the operator’s own official page, and how to actually buy a ticket once you’re there.
• Stays we’d book ourselves — hotels, apartments and hand-checked hostels, with real property pages rather than a search box.
• Things to do, with kids and without — two separate lists, because those are two very different holidays.
• The Top 10, day trips and markets — The Hon Thom cable car, Sunset from Long Beach, Bai Sao at eight in the morning — and 7 more, for when you have two days and want to get them right.
• Scams, seasons and the small print — 5 things locals wish you knew, when to come, and the little details that quietly ruin trips.
• Ready-made day plans, an at-a-glance snapshot, cash and tipping, connectivity, insurance, health and entry — and one page at the back with every link in the guide in one place.

Don’t take our word for it

Our entire Kuala Lumpur guide is free — all 38 pages, nothing removed, nothing watermarked. Read that one first and you’ll know exactly what you’re getting here: same template, same research, same hands. We would rather you judged the work than took our word for it.

The only thing we ask

Tell us the truth about it. We’re independent — no publisher, no sponsors, no paid placements, no ad budget — so a few honest words from someone who actually walked those streets with this in their pocket are worth more to us than anything we could buy. Good or bad, one sentence is plenty. There’s no right answer and nothing is owed: the guide is yours to keep either way, forever.
