Why visit Phu Quoc

Phu Quoc is southern Vietnam's largest resort island, blessed with white-sand beaches and clear emerald water. Cross to Hòn Thơm on one of the world's longest sea cable cars, spend a day at VinWonders and its safari, and watch the sunset over the European-style Sunset Town. Just a 1-hour 45-minute direct flight from Bangkok—with a visa exemption for direct arrivals—it's a relaxed resort escape loved by families and couples alike.

Good to know before you go

Three to four days suit Phu Quoc well. Get around by Grab, taxi or rental car, and bundle the cable car and 4-island tour into half- or full-day trips. The dry season from November to April brings the clearest seas, and arriving on a direct flight from Bangkok grants a 30-day visa exemption.
