Move

Ho Chi Minh City to Phan Thiet: You can take a bus to the coastal city of Phan Thiet, travel time about 4 hours. Because we wanted to take the initiative in time and sightseeing along the way, our group chose motorbikes as the means of transportation.

Phan Thiet to Phu Quy island: There are many shipping lines for you to choose to move to the island such as Phu Quy Express, Superdong, Phu Quy Island … We choose the Superdong train, take VIP seats and return to normal seats to have the experience. experience.

However, I think VIP seats will be better because the cabin is quite quiet, served with water, cold towels and chairs. Meanwhile, the regular class is the seat, which is quite hot.

Those who go to the island on weekends should book their tickets 2 weeks to 1 month in advance as boats often run out of seats early. After more than 2 hours floating on the immense sea, the group arrived at Phu Quy island.

Staying

We stopped at the My Nhat motel. The owner is quite enthusiastic, friendly, the new room is clean. The price for a double room is 400,000 VND and a single room is 300,000 VND. We also rent motorbikes here for 100,000 VND / day. The accommodation has a seafood barn and sells milk tea so it is very convenient for eating and drinking.

Guests can rent a house to stay overnight near the pier, convenient to Phu Quy island the next morning. If traveling on a weekend, you need to make a reservation in advance to reserve your seat.

Sunset falls, the group decided to watch the sunset in Long Vi. After that, we moved back to the property, processed seafood and showered to the campsite.

Trieu Duong Bay and Pheo slope have been registered to camp. Therefore, we set up at Nho beach. The view here is quite chill, in the morning you can watch the dawn right in front of your eyes, especially there is no phone signal, so we are separated from the noisy city.

However, the road to Nho beach has to be quite hard to walk. We were fortunate to be led by a local friend so the schedule was quite smooth.

After setting up camp, we roasted seafood, enjoyed our homemade dinner together. Eating, talking until around 22:00, the whole group cleaned up, watched the stars and went to the tent to rest.

Trieu Duong Bay is the first check-in point of the new day. It has a large beach, white sand, stretching headlines with clear blue sea, suitable for swimming, camping or picnic. However, the scene was not so unique, so we only stopped by for a short time.

The group continued to check-in the Phu Quy flagpole. The flagpole on Phu Quy Island represents Vietnam’s territorial sovereignty. From here, you can take in the view of the emerald green bay, fine sand and undulating rock rapids.

The wild beauty in Hon Tranh attracts tourists.

On the canoe, visitors will be fishing by wire according to the instructions. However, some of the members were seasick and that day the sea was rough, so the fishing time was not much.

Hot weather, the group only checked-in in a few beautiful places in Hon Tranh. Swimming, boating, snorkeling, and fishing with fishermen on the boat are popular activities on the island. We decided to row the SUP boat, watch the sunset, enjoy the fresh air here.

After a long day with many interesting experiences, the group went home, took a shower, took a rest, then bought seafood hot pot at Luoi Sea Food home to eat. After eating and drinking, all packed their luggage for the next day to return to the mainland.

After that, everyone went to eat vermicelli meat, stir-fried vermicelli, banh canh cha even at the 3-way intersection of the port. The fiber dishes at the restaurant are quite delicious. Spinach is a strange dish not to be missed here.

Next, we moved to the Master’s Tomb. There are artificial lakes on the sea with unique architecture, the background that is in the frames of young people.

The teacher’s grave is a favorite check-in spot for young people.
