What About Vietnam - S3-24- Phu Quoc, An unbelievably scenic Island paradise
Phu Quoc is the destination focus for the latest episode of the What About Vietnam podcast.
An island blessed with white sand beaches, turquoise waters, swaying palm trees and an abundance of sunshine, all make Phu Quoc island a highly sought-after destination for beach lovers, and those looking for a short getaway from the craziness of HCMC.
In our chat today with Patricia Marques we discover Phu Quoc is only a short 45 mins flight from HCMC with several flights each day.
It is important to note: that as of 16th March, 2022, the borders to Vietnam are open and Phu Quoc has always been Visa free to visit.
Please see my detailed guide on my website for everything you need to know about travel and Visa’s to Vietnam as at 16.3.22.
In this episode we discuss things like:
The best time to go; Closeness to Cambodia; Water sports; What food is most common; Is it expensive?: Pepper farms; Fish Sauce; The famous Phu Quoc dogs; Is it worth going to downtown to eat out?; Accommodation choices and how the Island is configured so you can find what you want.
Patricia Marques is my guest today.
Patricia is the General Manager of Starbucks in Vietnam, and as you would imagine with a highly demanding job, she looks forward to the occasional weekend getaway. Leaving on a Friday afternoon and home on a Sunday Night, she heads for Phu Quoc.
As a place to kick back and relax or take off into the wilderness, the island has it all, and given its location, it’s a seafood lover’s paradise.
