Although not technically in Ho Chi Minh City itself, Phú Quốc is only a one-hour flight away. The island is the largest in Vietnam and popular with locals and tourists alike. Located in the Gulf of Thailand, Phú Quốc is surrounded by deep turquoise sea and fresh white sand. Although tourism is rapidly growing, most of the residents are farmers and fishers, offering an entirely different atmosphere than city life in Saigon.
