PHU QUOC

PHU QUOC

Situated in Gulf of Thailand, Phu Quoc rises from its slender southern tip like a genie released from a bottle. Fringed with white-sand beaches and with large tracts still cloaked in dense, tropical jungle, Phu Quoc rapidly morphed from a sleepy island backwater to a must-visit beach escape for Western expats and sun-seeking travelers.

Phu Quoc is as peaceful as it gets, and yet, this astonishing island is full of entertainment that will delight your adventurous side. Beach sports and water activities here are fantastic. Check out jet skiing, wind sailing, fishing, scuba diving and snorkeling. For more daring souls, don’t miss the chance to experience squid fishing. And when the night falls, the seafood night market is a must-go. Steamed wild fish and many local specialties found here definitely offer you a feast of heaven on earth.

Climate:  Phu Quoc has tropical monsoonal sub equatorial climate which is characterized by the wet season (June to early November) and the dry season (December to April). May is the month where the transition from a dry to wet season begins.

Best time to visit:

High season - from November to March - can be considered as best time to visit Phu Quoc, since the weather is really mild and comfortable. The temperature in these months is usually around 25-280C and the humidity remains at the low level and the sky is clearly sunny, making it a great time to visit the island.

BEFORE YOU GO

Vietnam has a tropical monsoon climate, dominated by the south or southwesterly monsoon from May to September and the northeast monsoon from October to April. The southern summer monsoon brings rain to the two deltas and west-facing slopes, while the cold winter monsoon picks up moisture over the Gulf of Tonkin and dumps it along the central coast and the eastern edge of the central highlands. Within this basic pattern there are marked differences according to altitude and latitude; temperatures in the south remain equable all year round, while the north experiences distinct seasonal variations.
