Extra: when to go Phu Quoc
The best time to visit Phu Quoc is from November to April, during the dry season when skies are clear, the sea is calm, and temperatures hover around 25–30°C. This is ideal for beach days, boat trips, and island hopping.
If you prefer fewer tourists and lower prices, consider May to early June before the rainy season fully sets in. Avoid July to September if you're not a fan of heavy showers, although the island is still lush and peaceful during this time.
