Vietnam 2026

Arrived in Phu Quoc yesterday morning after a long journey. West Jet flight from Kelowna to Vancouver was delayed 3 times so arrived 3 hours late. Lucky for us we had lots of time before our flight left Vancouver. Cathay Pacific Airways was wonderful. Staff is amazing, 2 hot meals and beverages if you wish. Smoothest take off and landing I have ever experienced. Hong Kong airport is massive but easy to get around. We took escalators to the train that took us to the area of our departure Gate for flight to Vietnam. HK Express was also a good flight.

Phu Quoc airport was super busy. Lots of lineups for customs then grab your bags and line up to get bags scanned before we left the airport but then our driver was waiting and took us to our hotel.

Sun Viet Hotel and Spa is our home for next 9 days. Right on the beach, we have a balcony facing the ocean but lots of palm trees block the view. Could be worse.

We took a stroll down the street to try to get our bearings then walked back on the beach. We sat at a beach bar and soaked up the heat and had a cool drink. Was cloudy and had rained earlier that morning but was still 29 degrees. Forgot to take pictures. Hopefully I will get better at remembering to take pictures as we go. We had a 30 minute rest then booked our first grab ride to the night market. Wandered around for a bit then exhaustion settled in. We walked back to our resort, took a shower and went to bed. Had a good rest and up around 630 this morning ready for the next adventure. Stay tuned...Meer informatie
