Journey from Saigon to Phú Quốc island off the south coast of Vietnam in the Gulf of Thailand.

Phu Quoc is the largest island in Vietnam, with a total area of 574 km2 and a population of approximately 179,480. Located in the Gulf of Thailand, the island is geographically closer to the shores of Cambodia, lying merely 17 miles south of  Kampot, and 40 km west of Hà Tiên, the nearest coastal town in Vietnam. Roughly triangular in shape the island is 50 kilometres long from north to south and 25 kilometres from east to west at its widest. From March 2014, Vietnam allowed all foreign tourists to visit Phú Quốc visa-free for a period of up to 30 days. Its primary industries are fishing, agriculture, and a fast-growing tourism sector. Phú Quốc has achieved fast economic growth due to its current tourism boom. Many infrastructure projects have been carried out, including several five-star hotels and resorts.  The historical Phú Quốc Prison was based here; a prison was built by French colonialists to detain captured Viet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers from 1953 to 1975, with 40,000 held captive there in 1973. Cambodia dropped its claims to Phú Quốc in 1976. But the bone of contention involving the island between the governments of the two countries continued, as both have a historical claim to it and the surrounding waters. A July 1982 agreement between Vietnam and The People's Republic of Kampuchea ostensibly settled the dispute; however, the island is still the object of irredentist sentiments. On the first morning in Saigon I went to Viettel Shop to buy a Vietnamese SIM card. I was offered two plans. Either 4gb or 6gb a day for 30 days. 4gb a day cost 170k dong. And 6gb cost 200k. So I paid 170k. That’s £6 or just over $7 for 30 days of data. What a deal. It’s at least double that with Globe or Smart deals in the Philippines. It was my 3rd time in Saigon. I’d first visited Vietnam in 2004. Then again in 2009. Both trips when I too was bouncing between the neighboring Asian countries. So I haven’t visited Saigon for 14 years. It was crowded with too much traffic then. Looks like the amount of vehicles on the roads has increased by 1000%. You need to walk confidently into the melee and have the motorbikes glide around you. Hoping that the driver’s concentrating on the road and not their mobile phone. I love the energy of Vietnam. There’s so much life on the streets. A large coffee culture here with a coffee shop on every street corner. Like how the UK used to be, but with a pub on every corner. Not so much now, as they’re all closing down. But Saigon is great for sitting and people watching. Something I found lacking in the Philippines. There’s a Bo’s Coffee at Fuente Circle in Cebu that I’d like to sit. But apart from that not a lot. But in Saigon places to sit are in abundance. Apart from providing you with those pathetic stools which are ridiculous. On my first day I went to sit on one and fell arse over tit. Which was a tad embarrassing. At least it made my presence noticed. You’re just another tourist here. Unlike in the Philippines, Vietnamese people aren’t interested in engaging with you. But I put that down to their lack of English. Even hotel staff who are in contact with tourists every day have limited use of English. District 1 is a touristy area where the majority of nightlife and attractions are. It’s also where the noisy bars are at Bui Vien Walking Street. Reading reviews suggested that staying near that area is not conducive to sleep, so I figured if I found a place nearby on the other side of the park that I’d be okay.
