Dream island of Phu Quoc
Phu Quoc, the largest Vietnamese island, is located in the Thai Sea, close to Cambodia. 70,000 inhabitants live on the 50 km long and 3-30 km wide island, which is still relatively untouched by international tourism and is considered a real insider tip. Here you can still experience the real Vietnam. Nevertheless, there are already a few hotels on the island with up to first class accommodation.
