Phu Quoc

Phu Quoc is not the only place in Kien Giang worth exploring; travelers should also hit the road and discover the special qualities of the surrounding landscapes, cities and towns. An Thoi, is 19 miles (31 kilometers) to the north, while Ha Tien is located 35 miles (56 kilometers) to the west.

One of the joys of exploring the world's many cultures is using new languages, so take the time to practice some rudimentary Vietnamese during your time in Vietnam. "Không có gì" is a good phrase to know. In English, it means "You're welcome" You'll also realise that knowing how to say "Ông từ đâu đến?", which translates to "Where are you from?", can get you a long way.

The 2nd of September is the day when many people in Vietnam observe Independence Day, so look out for festivities and parades if you're lucky enough to be staying in Kien Giang then.

As the sun sets on your time in Kien Giang area, gather your luggage and wish Phu Quoc a fond Tạm biệt (farewell).
