Phu Quoc (pronounced "foo kwok") – an unassuming Vietnamese island sitting pretty just off the coast of Cambodia – is one of south-east Asia’s best-kept secrets.The Phu Quoc district is made of 28 islands, most of which are uninhabited while some are planned for development as private resorts. Spanning 574 square kilometres, Phu Quoc Island, where most of the tourism action takes place, is the largest in the district/country as well as in the Gulf of Thailand.
One of the region’s most beautiful remote islands is Hon Xuong – often referred to as the Robinson Crusoe island after the novel of the same name – and can currently only be reached by boat.
