Day 8 & 9- Phu Quoc

We departed HCM today bound for the island of Phu Quoc - only a 1hr flight away!

I was fortunate to arrive at midday but Troy had to endure a company tour of the Rheem factory - a 2hr bus ride from HCM, a 2hr ride back THEN a 1hr plane ride - he eventually got here around 5.30pm.

The company have put us up in JW Marriot Phu Quoc Resort & Spa Emerald Bay! ... holy guacamole, this place is something else!! The resort is designed around a fictional old, prestigious french Univerity dedicated to natural sciences and is divvied up into 18 faculties.... very swish!

We all then ventured into Sunset Town - a very cool, surreal place that seriously felt like the Truman show meets Pleasantville. We had our faces scanned to enter the 'Kiss of the Sea' show which was interesting! 🤔

The show itself was spectacular. As google explains - Its a high-tech, romantic fantasy show about a local man and an alien guardian fighting dark forces to protect Earth. It merges water, fire, laser, and 3D mapping technologies with acrobatic performances.

On the evening of Day 9, while Troy attended the Gala Dinner to wrap up his conference, I opted for a push-bike tour to see the sunset 🙌Read more
