· PQ, the biggest island of Viet Nam ,
lies 65 nautical miles off-shore South-West of the country contiguous
with the Gulf of Thailand .
· PQ still keeps about its original
charms with 99 mountains and hills covered in green primitive forests,
with majestic waterfalls and babbling streams, fresh see breezes and
attractive sandy beachs winding along the shore washed by a clear blue
sea. At night, the island seems to extend farther into the sea where
hundreds of lamps are lighted for fishing and squid-angling on the
fishermen's boats floating up and down on the waves. |

anywhere else. The islanders of Phu Quoc are very honest, friendly
and hospitable.
Due to the good natural resources, tourism in
Phu Quoc is developing
fast with various kinds of traveler. Besides the package tours (from
two to five days), the tour operator of Saigon-Phu Quoc Resort are
constantly organizing new tours: Chanh stream outdoor, Bat cave
discovery, honeymoon tour in the desert islets, snorkeling and scuba
diving, mobile-fishing, squid-fishing, researching market and

However, the local authorities need to supervise the travel agencies
and abandon the illegal agencies to avoid damage and accidents for
tourists because of under standard boats or cars not safe for
guests, except the pleasure boat of Saigon-Phu Quoc operating all
the time. |
