Phú Quốc, Tropical island in Kien Giang Province, Vietnam

Phu Quoc encompasses one main landmass and 21 smaller islets in the Gulf of Thailand, covering 589 square kilometers of territory.

The French colonial administration constructed Phu Quoc Prison, which later held Vietnamese prisoners during conflicts from the 1950s through the 1970s.

Local communities maintain traditional fishing practices while producing internationally recognized fish sauce and cultivating high-quality black pepper farms.

International travelers can enter Phu Quoc without a visa for stays up to 30 days through the island's international airport.

Pearl farming operations, established with Australian and Japanese expertise, produce cultured pearls across multiple locations on the island.
