Vietnam houses

We stayed for about 10 days. The location for us was ideal-halfway between the city and the beach. We enjoyed biking in the rice fields and to the beach (about 10 minutes to beach). We cooked a lot and the kitchen was great. (Good size fridge and a rice cooker.) There is also purified water on tap which was a great help as we did not have to buy water. Keith, the landlord, was very helpful getting us settled in and putting us in touch with tours etc. There are other tourist villas in the area which had loud parties on the weekends but the noise generally stopped around 9pm.

We were 5 people travelling through Asia for 5 weeks at the height of the coronavirus in order to avoid the winter. We spent a week in Phu Quoc. This was the highlight of our trip. After visiting the Royal Palace in Bangkok, Angkor Wat in Cambodia, and rushing through Ho Chi Min, it was nice to be able to relax around the pool and do nothing much for a whole week. Three of us went to the beach almost every day. The resort is about 3 km from the town, but a one-way taxi ride costs only $2.50. Our host Yves was very helpful with any thing we wanted and kept the place very clean. He called taxis for us. There were many restaurants to choose from. Yves’ wife has a fish business and he brought us barracuda filets one day and we had that for dinner. Another night, we had smoke tuna which was excellent. There were 16 cases of the virus in Vietnam but all had recovered, so we felt very safe there. There is a Pepper Farm 10 minutes walk from the resort. Yves told us that there is no point in getting pepper from Kampot as the one at the farm is identical but at a fraction of the price. Everyone was very sad to leave.
