The article described Phu Quoc as Vietnam’s largest island and a key part of the country’s tourism ambitions.
Known for its white-sand beaches, luxury resorts, night markets, and large-scale entertainment projects, the island is increasingly attracting travelers looking for a tropical getaway that combines nature with modern tourism infrastructure, the writing noted.
It highlighted that Long Beach, stretching along on the island’s western side, is known for its sunset views, beach bars, and resorts, while Sao Beach on the southeastern coast is famous for its powdery white sand and turquoise waters.
Khaosod noted the dry season from November to April is considered the best time to visit Phu Quoc, when calm seas and sunny skies make the island ideal for swimming, snorkelling, and island-hopping tours.
Luxury international resorts now line many coastal areas, while Phu Quoc International Airport has made access far easier for foreign travellers, according to the article.
Despite rapid development, traditional fishing communities remain part of island life, the newspaper said. Seafood was described as one of Phu Quoc’s highlights, with fresh crab, squid, sea urchins, and grilled shellfish widely available at local markets and seaside restaurants.
The island is also well known across Vietnam for its fish sauce production and pepper farms.
According to the writing, Phu Quoc is becoming increasingly popular among Thai tourists thanks to relatively short travel times and visa-friendly entry policies for many visitors.
Travelers from Bangkok can reach the island via connecting flights through Ho Chi Minh City or direct regional routes depending on airline schedules.
Khaosod concluded that as Vietnam continues investing heavily in tourism, Phu Quoc is positioning itself as one of the region’s major island destinations, offering a mix of tropical scenery, entertainment, and fast-growing resort development.
Phu Quoc received 3.8 million tourists in the first four months this year, up 38% year-on-year and meeting nearly half of this year’s target.
