I recently visited Phu Quoc and stayed in the Thien Hai Son Resort, which was far less appealing as compared to Sasco Blue Lagoon. At Thien Hai Son, the seaview bungalow I stayed in cost roughly $50USD a night. Last year, a Sasco Blue Lagoon beachfront bungalow cost $48USD — this year, a whooping $103USD. The beaches were also less appealing than a year ago, as everything seemed to erode much quicker in Vietnam. Luckily, the ocean was still almost as clear as what I remembered. Airfare from Saigon to Phu Quoc was roughtly $600K Dongs.

One thing worth mentioning was Bun Ken, which is very similar to Bun Cari, but it tastes so good. Interestingly, five of these bows, four dishes of Banh Khot, and three fresh coconuts total up to $26K Dongs, not even $2USD. What an amazing deal!
