Tourist info
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions everyone asks before their first trip to Phu Quoc. Verified, up-to-date info, no fluff.
When to fly to Phu Quoc?
The best time is the dry season from November to April, the sun shines almost every day, the sea is calm and clear, and underwater visibility reaches 15 metres. Peak season is December–March, with temperatures of 27–33°C and almost zero chance of rain. May–October is the monsoon season with short, intense downpours, but there are far fewer crowds and prices can be 30–50% lower. The short tropical showers usually last an hour and don't spoil the whole day.
What is the weather like on Phu Quoc?
Phu Quoc has a tropical climate with two distinct seasons. The dry season (November–April): air temperature 27–33°C, minimal rainfall, cloudless skies and a calm sea. The rainy season (May–October): short, intense downpours usually in the afternoon or evening, temperatures of 28–32°C, and an occasionally rough sea, especially in September and October. The sea water stays warm all year round, at around 28–30°C.
What currency is used and how to pay conveniently?
The official currency is the Vietnamese Dong (VND). Approximate rate: 1 USD is about 25,000 VND. Cash is best exchanged locally, at the airport or in exchange offices in central Duong Dong. Payment cards are accepted in hotels, larger restaurants and chain stores, but markets, street vendors and local eateries run on cash. It's always worth carrying small banknotes.
Is Phu Quoc safe for tourists?
Phu Quoc is among the safest places in South-East Asia. Crime against tourists is exceptionally rare. Use basic caution in market crowds, don't leave valuables unattended on the beach and ride scooters carefully, especially on the unpaved roads in the island's interior. Essentials: SPF 50+ sunscreen, mosquito repellent at dusk and head cover in the middle of the day.
Can I use my phone and the internet on the island?
Yes, without any problems. Local SIM cards (Viettel, Mobifone, Vietnamobile) are available right at the airport or in any shop in town. A 20–30 GB data package for 30 days costs just 5–10 USD. 4G/5G coverage is excellent across the whole inhabited part of the island, only deep in the National Park can it get weaker. Free Wi-Fi is available in all hotels, cafés and most restaurants.
Which local dishes are a must-try?
The culinary must-eats on Phu Quoc: bánh mì with local fillings (better than in any other part of Vietnam), bún quậy (a unique local fish noodle soup), grilled crabs and spiny lobsters fresh off the ice at Dinh Cau market, hủ tiếu (noodles with seafood in an aromatic broth), gỏi cuốn (fresh spring rolls with prawns), nước mắm Phú Quốc (the famous fish sauce made only on the island for generations) and all the tropical fruit you can find, mango, passion fruit, dragon fruit and rambutan straight from the crate.
