The Vietnam They DON’T Show You 🇻🇳 Phu Quoc Island



This is the Vietnam they don’t show you. We spent a week on Phu Quoc Island, one of Vietnam’s most popular island destinations. It has the longest sea-crossing cable car in the world, five star resorts, amusement parks and some of the most beautiful beaches in Vietnam. However, we also noticed some bizarre things about Phu Quoc that you may want to know before your visit to this interesting island!

Our friends Adriana and Dylan have a travel channel as well, check out their adventures here: @2Passports1Dream

    The most trashed fill island of Vietnam with highest asking price of everything in the country for the absolutely average value in return. Phu Quốc was destroyed by check-in tourism

    Thanks for sharing my beautiful country to the world. the quality of your channel is wonderful.
    As a Vietnamese myself do hate that fake-copycat Venice town. It's just not matching with the nature and the culture of the island and the local people there. The leaders of this island literally sold their soul for money. I understand that they want to make the island look fancy, cool and modern but this is a terrible choice since the Phu Quoc island itself is already a beautiful destination (could be as nice as Bali) without any concrete. So many green natural area had been destroyed to build that ridiculous empty buildings. I hope no tourists will stop by that shitty place, let it die soon so the island would start to wake up and take some corrective actions to save the unique beauty of the island!
    P/s: If you're looking for a truly beautiful and nature-reserved island in VN, then I highly recommend you to visit Con Dao island of Ba Ria-Vung Tau province. It's a small island but still untouched too much by human hand.

    Love your vlogs! I like the little snippets of history provided 🙂

    It is a great natural place but they build terrible western attraction. It should be natural as they used to be. I don't think they know the history of Vietnam and the places but they at least are trying.

    build first and fill it up with people later….i mean the place technically is still under construction right?

    This is for the Vietnamese, kem 10 ngàn mà chém người ta 20 ngàn. Chị đó để ý thấy bản giá 10 ngàn được che lại. Làm ăn dối trá lần sau họ sẽ ko đến nữa

    Nah,Phu Quoc is finished! I have just arrived back home in Australia yesterday after spent three weeks in P Quoc,it's a total disappointment,the so called never sleep city is dead,got there around 8pm and all lights were off,that's bullshit,I spent money on air tickets and the Vinpearld resort and got nothing to see.crab!

    Vietnam should think about creating something to give tourists a view of Asia thru Vietnamese traditional architecture rather than copying Europe architecture. It comes out looking cheap and gaudy. If you copy, you need to make it exact by matching the true colors.

  18. Pete Khauv

    The entire island belongs to Cambodia, until the French gave it away to Vietnam, what a disgrace!

  21. Kim Heng

    This island Cambodia call Koh Trol, when my Great grandfather was a child, he used to swim there. It very close to the coast of Kampot province. Cambodia have many century of trouble, so it becomes belong to other country. The land of my ancestors❤

    I always wonder about travel vlogs that are the videos uploaded at the same month as they travel 😄 I'm just curious about the weather 😄

  24. Hai Bui

    For Starfish, from the beach you were, you need to rent a boat that brings you to another beach called Mui Ham Rong (about 10 min). There are a lot of starfish there.

  26. Wilson Kenneth Yam

    If you take time to explore around the island, then you'll realize that more that half of the beaches around the island are filled with trash, styrofoam packaging and all sorts of rubbish which made them unsuitable for swimming.

    Had a question… How do you guys plan which hotel to stay in and where do you book from?

    Amazing video BTW…

  31. George & Zeny

    Hi i’m new Subscriber here i love all your video my Husband and I we been in Vietnam twice we love Vietnam we been in 5 cities but we never know about this Phu Quoc island until i watch your video so amazing and we want to go there. Could you possibly tell the name of your accomodation we like to booked & stay in the resort you stayed it has an amazing view. We just went back in Vietnam last April 2023

    I had a tour from northem Vietnam to south through Cambodia all the way to Bangkok. Those empty building complex are everywhere. Inheard Miamar have a bunch too. Have yiu wonder why? And where the money came from?

  33. DoodahGurl

    I think they built too big too fast and then covid hit. Supposedly those buildings are all owned by rich Vietnamese folks, but who knows as that's a bad investment if no one is coming. I laughed at you guys with the weapons and wished no one stopped you guys as I wanted to see Flora kick Note's arse. Hahaha! I'm surprised you guys didn't hit the water park as "Chase and Shelbs" had a ton of fun there. There's also a war museum and safari and such and other things to do there. As far as the starfish, I've seen others go and see a ton of them in the water, so not sure why you guys didn't see that many out there.

  34. DoodahGurl

    As others have said below, 10k is for the smaller cup and 20k is for the larger one. Next time you're in Vietnam look for the sugarcane mixed with passion fruit. There's also another combo that a local introduced another Western vlogger to that sounded AMAZING, but I forget what was in it…I think it was sugarcane, orange juice or pineapple juice, and some other exotic fruit.

  37. Mary Ounkeo

    Love your videos! You guys are my easily my favorite channel!! LOVE your reactions to the coffees!! 😂🤣

    A very beautiful island that had been destroyed by unthinking developement. Tacky and without any long term vision.
