Everything You Need to Know
Phu Quoc is a Vietnamese island off the coast of Cambodia in the Gulf of Thailand. It's known for its white-sand beaches and luxurious resorts, most of which are along the palm-lined southwest coast. More than half of the island is part of Phu Quoc National Park, which features mountains, dense tropical jungle, hiking trails, and wildlife. The island is also famous for producing some of the world's best fish sauce (nuoc mam) and high-quality black pepper, and has been developed with spectacular attractions like the Hon Thom Cable Car — the longest non-stop three-way cable car system in the world.
