Phu Quoc is Vietnam's largest island, in the Gulf of Thailand, with sunsets over the water along Long Beach and the pale sand of Sao Beach on the southeast coast. Boat trips run out to the An Thới islands for snorkelling, and a long cable car crosses the sea to Hòn Thơm. Back on land there are pepper farms, fish-sauce makers and a lively night market in Dương Đông.
Flights are most of the bill from Sydney, at A$2,470 for two. On the island, money goes a long way: A$752 covers a comfortable beach resort room for seven nights, and A$401 covers meals and day-to-day spending. Grilled seafood at the night market is a highlight and costs little.
