Where is the best place to relax in November in Fukuoka. Phu Quoc reviews. What effect did Phu Quoc have on us in the early days. Attitude of Vietnamese staff towards tourists

Tours to Phu Quoc in November 2018 - the beginning of the season on the island. The rains have ended, the off-season has passed, the tourist season has come. IN will be in great demand, and in November you can still get under a torrential downpour.

At the same time, the Phuket season begins in November, so Thailand and Vietnam are always in competition. Also in November, the beginning of the high season in Goa, but this is a slightly different holiday. According to statistics, tours to Thailand in November are chosen by 17% of those traveling abroad, and to Vietnam by 8%. But every year Vietnam is gaining momentum. Moreover, Phu Quoc is a relatively new destination for package tours.

Tours to Phu Quoc from Moscow in November with a direct flight are most suitable for those who are looking for a lazy beach holiday, or for those who have already seen many Asian countries and want something new.

Weather

During the day the temperature is +30+32 degrees, at night +27 degrees. Water temperature +28 degrees. There are about 20 sunny days in November in Fukuoka, 10 cloudy and rainy days. That is, about a third of the month will be cloudy. Rains may be brief, but they will still be. The rain will not pour all day, most often there are showers for 15-30 minutes. You can still relax and sunbathe, after the rain the sun comes out.

Tourists

Since November is the beginning of the season, there are more tourists in Fukuoka than in the off-season. Tours to Phu Quoc are sold more actively in November, which means more people come to the island. But the peak will be at the end of December and during the New Year holidays. At this time, tours to Phu Quoc are 2 times more expensive.

Which beaches to choose

In Fukuoka, the choice of beaches is not large. More precisely, there are beaches, but there are no hotels nearby. For example, on Bai Sao - near the most beautiful beach of Phu Quoc, there is no choice of housing. Therefore, tours to Phu Quoc in November and other months are traditionally sold on Long Beach, less often Ong Lang and Kua Kan. All other beaches are being built up, while there is nowhere to live there.

Minuses

Rising prices for tours to Phu Quoc in November
Garbage

Beach holidays in Fukuoka are very popular with Russians. People often come here in November to relax with children. Comfortable beaches and clear sea, plenty of clear days and the hospitality of the owners of the resort make Phu Quoc a great vacation spot.

The weather in November in Fukuoka is good. Hot sun, gentle breeze, warm nights and occasional quick rainfall - all this will help make your vacation comfortable.

Hotels in Fukuoka are of an excellent class, there are representatives of world chains. During the high season, you should buy a tour in advance - hotel rooms are taken out instantly due to the influx of vacationers. Hotels often have animators with a program for children and those who are older.

In addition to relaxing by the sea, you can visit excursions. There are photogenic historical and natural attractions in Fukuoka and nearby. With children, you can go to the dolphinarium, an amusement park or just for a walk. A tour to Phu Quoc will appeal to young people, families with children, and the elderly.

I have already tried to talk about the minuses of Phu Quoc and Vietnam, but in the general stream of our enthusiastic stories about life and Nastya, all the minuses somehow fade. However, there are points to keep in mind when going. This is what I want to write about today. By the way, at the end of the article there is a video - for those who do not like "many letters". So if you do not have limited traffic and you are not tired of my beard, then you can immediately scroll down.

Be sure to check out the new series of articles: - there is a lot of useful information

Dedicated to everyone who likes to read or perceives textual information more easily. I decided to start the story with package tourists, because this year they have increased a lot. According to eyewitnesses in Russia, especially in those cities from where charters fly to the island, our wonderful Phu Quoc is very actively advertised. Yes exactly. I continue to like the island, but the requirements of Nastya and me are not as high as those of a vacationer accustomed to Turkish comfort.

Fukuoka's advertising posters are full of pictures of blue lagoons with white sand, deserted beaches, cleanliness and serenity. In practice, most of the tourists are settled on Long Beach, where there is nothing of the kind. By the way, really - Bai Sao. Yes, and that one is littered enough that after the first visit you would not want to return to it, although there are a couple of great places there, but not everyone gets to them.

Pay attention to the new series of articles-tips about package holidays in Fukuoka. In the new cycle, I try to collect all the most useful information for those who fly to the island for a couple of weeks:

- for those who fly for a couple of weeks
- getting to know the island

Arriving in Phu Quoc, vacationers are often disappointed. The fairy tale about the bounty did not work out, the Persian fairy tale with dozens of attendants, too. A narrow strip of beach appears before them, with the same tourists watching the drains from the hotels and the lonely floating plastic bag. I'm exaggerating a bit, so let's go into more detail.

Myths about holidays in Fukuoka

I’ll make a reservation right away that, in my not pretentious opinion, the skeleton is a good place. However, choosing a vacation here, you need to take off your rose-colored glasses and look at reality clearly. I will tell you about several features of Fukuoka.

Clean beaches in Phu Quoc

There are beautiful bays in the north of the island in the closed areas of expensive hotels, where there is almost nothing but the hotels themselves, and in the evening you can die of boredom. Long Beach, unfortunately, cannot boast of special purity and transparency of water. I will return to it a little later.

For lovers of clean water, there are excursions to the Southern Islands by ship or by cable car (the longest in the world - I will talk about it separately another time). However, this is not the cheapest pleasure - you can ride once or twice, but definitely not every day. In addition, there are a couple of problems with excursions in Fukuoka:

The tour operator who brings people to Phu Quoc first intimidates vacationers with “terrible street excursions”, and then he himself, with a significant extra charge, gives tourists to the local agency, which is the most complained about: excursions to the wrong places, crowded ships, where people are like herrings in barrels , guides who have lived on the island for a couple of weeks (by the way, according to my information, guides really don’t stay long - it’s hard to endure a constant stream of complaints)
Local guides and agencies do not make the situation much easier: almost every agency unnecessarily criticizes its competitors, further confusing tourists in terms of price and quality of services.

In order not to get into a mess with prices for excursions, I recommend that you familiarize yourself with all the popular trips at home on the PhuQuoc24 website, which cooperates with many local agencies and private guides at once, providing not only information on current prices, but also the opportunity to pre-order. However, no one forbids, already knowing the real prices, to walk down the street or listen to the guide who meets you.

Attitude of Vietnamese staff towards tourists

Vacationers often forget that they flew to Asia, and not to their beloved Turkey, where everyone is ready to lick you. Vietnam is a proud country, and Phu Quoc is not yet spoiled by tourists. Not so long ago there was an ordinary village here and people were not used to fawning over white vacationers. Moreover, sometimes you can even meet a negative attitude from the elderly, for whom all whites are indistinguishable from Americans. Therefore, I often advise starting a dialogue with a simple Russian “hello”, and not a foreign hello.

Last season I wrote two articles called a spoon of tar- I recommend reading both, there I was just talking about the features of Vietnamese life on the island of Phu Quoc:

In general, when flying to Phu Quoc, be prepared that you will not be given much attention. Tourists are not very interesting here: sometimes a taxi driver is too lazy to take you to the night market, and the seller will not open his eyes during lunchtime, and the “light bulb” gesture, beloved by the locals, with any misunderstanding and unwillingness to communicate, you will get bored very quickly - although I personally already used to it. I even use it sometimes.

The myth of cheap food in Fukuoka

This is generally a separate topic for discussion. I have already been accused of insincerity and embellishment of the wintering budget. I haven’t failed the 2017-2018 budget yet, but what’s the point of lying to me? So. There are people who fly to Phu Quoc after reading my stories through the line and immediately go to expensive restaurants, fearfully looking away from my favorite locales. For comparison: a complex lunch in a local restaurant costs from 65 rubles per person (first, second and tea), the cost of a dish in a restaurant can reach up to 500 rubles, and the total bill can be several thousand. I'm not saying that restaurants are bad, on the contrary, I even wrote several articles about where to go to eat in Fukuoka. But let's differentiate. There is affordable food in local canteens, there are inexpensive dishes in a local cafe, and there are borscht and other exotic in a restaurant where your budget decides where to go:

If you are a little more daring, like to taste the local flavor and do not try to spend a lot - feel free to go to local canteens (places with a fixed price and a couple of dishes without a menu), neither I nor my friends were poisoned in them (however, there were cases of poisoning in the local cafe, so you have to be more careful there). If the budget allows, and you flew to Phu Quoc specifically to try Vietnamese borscht, then choose a cafe with the whitest tablecloths.

A few more embarrassing moments

Be sure to remember a few more nuances so as not to be upset upon arrival to Phu Quoc Island in Vietnam. Speaking about the advantages of the island, I often forget that the basics of safe travel are not so obvious for all tourists. I wrote an article - - be sure to read the simple rules of safe behavior in a foreign country, and in your own. Perhaps after reading the following information will not be so relevant to you.

Safety in Phu Quoc

Life on the island is relaxing. Doors are not always closed here, money is not kept in safes, keys are left in bikes, and bags are calmly left on the beach. I wrote it as an advertisement for thieves ... However, one should not forget that a mass gathering of relaxed people always lures a criminal element. Where there is a lot of money, there are also those who want to take possession of it.

No, of course you will not be robbed on the street and the taxi driver will not take you into the hands of bandits. The island is safe for simple walks, even for single girls, fortunately, in Vietnam, unlike India, there are no problems with female violence. You can run into a local conflict by pissing off the locals, but this is not easy to do, especially if you remember that we are guests here.

Nevertheless, those who come to work may be interested in your money, and if some try to earn honestly or almost honestly, only slightly increasing prices, then others act more brazenly:

There have been complaints of theft from vacationers and guests of the island, so try to keep money and valuables out of reach
There were cases of robberies in several hotels, but this is rather nonsense. I am sure that, having found the perpetrators, the hoteliers themselves will arrange an ambulance
Recently in the Telegram chat I saw a complaint about the change with a fake (ritual banknote)

In general, keep an eye on yourself and valuables, especially in crowded places.

There are no usual supermarkets in Fukuoka

I want to end the article with a cry of universal pain. Every second person who comes to Phu Quoc and ends up in one of the groups on the island (links in the sidebar) or in a telegram channel asks about a large supermarket that has everything. Alas, on the island of Phu Quoc, unlike mainland Vietnam, there are no hypermarkets. There are small and medium shops, but the choice of goods there is limited. Although this year is much better. I wrote about the changes in Fukuoka in a separate article, which I also recommend reading:

Therefore, the old-timers are already a little tired of answering the question about stores. The main difference between Fukuoka and Thailand is just the lack of such shops where you can come once a week and stock up. However, I will write about them in a separate article.

Beach access in Phu Quoc

A small annoyance, which fortunately does not affect everyone, but may soon become a massive problem, is access to the beaches of Phu Quoc. The tour operator often accommodates tourists in a hotel on the second line (on the side of the road farthest from the sea), forgetting to say that it is not possible to go to the sea everywhere. Very often, the passage is blocked by a large hotel, whose security does not always allow vacationers to pass, arguing that this is a private territory. It turns out the beach itself is public, but there is no approach to it.

For example, in our Long Beach area of residence there are two options to walk to the sea:

Past the construction site on the territory of an abandoned resort. It is necessary to have time before 17:00 otherwise then the entrance will be closed and you will have to look for workarounds
Trying to get through the hotel grounds. They let us in with a stroller, but precedents have already happened. And to the nearest entrance not closed by hotels, go about a kilometer and a half - however, the promenade is useful.

Finally, another video, this time about the cons of Fukuoka

As you can see, not everything is so scary in Fukuoka, some of the problems are not problems at all, so I personally am already thinking about the third season of Fukuoka. See you again.

It's a good idea to check the weather forecast before you start praying for the sun.
Mark Twain

In November, about 2 thousand tourists arrive in Phu Quoc every week. This is only the Russian Federation. Officially, the season in Fukuoka opens on November 1st and lasts until June 1st.

Seven months of great weather and positive adventures.

You have already understood that 2,000 tourists understand when to fly.

Phu Quoc in November: features

This month, the pearl island opens up. Comes to life. Tourist flows involve local residents who remember the basic knowledge of the Russian language.

The Vietnamese encourages buying with 3 words: come on, come on, come on.
Friends, and this is without an accent.

In November, Fukuoka has sunny weather 90% of the time. Get ready for a cool evening breeze. After sunset, the island is pleasantly fresh and going out to the sea, take a light blouse.

Local restaurants are beginning to set tables and serve seafood on the beach. The sea is calm. In the Long Beach area, many hotels light fires and arrange culinary performances.

Idea: make it a rule to have dinner every day at a new restaurant or bar.

You will have an interesting gastronomic experience and the opportunity to diversify your vacation.

Please, only without okroshka. For me, this dish is essential. Home is far away.

You are flying for 12 days. Indulge yourself, confess your love at sunset and dance on the sand like everyone is watching. It's so cool. Share holiday photos in a group about Fukuoka. The guys will envy.

November weather in Fukuoka: personal experience

The weather in Phu Quoc in November is great. There are no fallouts.

The four coasts of the island remain completely calm. Bai Sao Beach returns to its heavenly status: turquoise water and creaky coral sand. Bounty concept: coconuts, rocker over the sea and artistic photo cards.

There will be queues at the safari park and Vinprela water park. China, Europe. This November, 170% more tourists will arrive compared to the previous year.

Diving in Fukuoka in November

Great time for men to go fishing. For girls, a trip to the islands is mandatory. Southern for sunbathing, Northern Fukuoka for diving.

I have an idea: take a trip to the Kingdom of Cambodia. Their rains end in October. It's time to check on your neighbor.

Phu Quoc in November: conditions for swimming

Inflate circles and let's go to the Gulf of Thailand. The water temperature in November in Fukuoka is 26-28 degrees. There are no waves.

80% of Fukuoka's coastline is gently sloping, ideal for families with children and tourists without swimming skills.

Phu Quoc in November: what to do?

We rest to the fullest. Make a travel plan in advance and leave 2 days for unforeseen entertainment.

I display a list for 9 days of adventure, add the rest:

Ride on the longest cable car in the world: Fukuoka cable car
Sightseeing in Phu Quoc as part of a sightseeing tour
Romantic dinner at Mango Bay
Trip to Bai Thom Beach with boat rental for fishing

Gastronomic tour of Vietnamese cuisine. Focus on seafood

November is great. The main thing is without fuss and with pleasure. Take a map of sights at the hotel, all locations are perfectly traced.

If something is missing, write to the editors of Fukuoka stories, we will add it.

Phu Quoc in November: seasonal fruits

This week, one question arrived 3 times: is it true that the prices for fruits in Fukuoka are different for Russians and Vietnamese?

Friends, the price tag in the local market is the same for everyone. Pay attention to how locals buy: at least 5-7 phrases in the dialogue. The conversation contains a bargain, in which the Vietnamese, in 70% of cases, receive a price tag lower than the original one.

Discount sounds in Vietnamese: yam ya.

life hack: Bow new? (how much it costs) and after what you see on the calculator, say yam. Say 3-5 times and the price tag will drop, while the Vietnamese smile and understand that the nut is really overseas.

Fruit season in November:

mangosteen
A pineapple
Longan
Avocado

Sold near hotels and markets. Bargain.

Phu Quoc in November: prices for food and accommodation

Buying a tour in November to Phu Quoc is a profitable investment. From December, tours to Phu Quoc are growing in price. In November, they promise to launch flights from Russian regions: Khabarovsk, Vladivostok, Kazan, Krasnoyarsk, Yekaterinburg and several other large cities.

There are direct lines, and if you don’t want to take a tour, come on your own and rent an apartment on the spot. The average price for a studio in Fukuoka is $350 per month. This is the city center.

Prices are lower in remote areas. For $200-250 you can find great housing.

Phu Quoc Beach in November

In the Long Beach area, food prices are higher compared to the southern part of Phu Quoc and the On Lang area.

There are no price increases for food and drinks planned for November.

Important to remember: Life and entertainment on the island of Phu Quoc is 70% more expensive compared to Nha Trang and Mui Ne.

This is an island!

Travel more often.

How will your vacation in Fukuoka go? I will tell you our opinion, which was formed literally in the first days after landing on Fukuoka land. Phu Quoc is great for relaxing. But for a long stay, this developing island, in our opinion, is still no good.

Fukuoka Photos

Basically, those who have already been to Vietnam and were not impressed with a beach holiday in Nha Trang, and even more so in Mui Ne, come to relax in Phu Quoc. Phu Quoc is the number one beach holiday in Vietnam. If you are squeamish and have already seen enough beautiful beaches, then Phu Quoc is exactly the place in Vietnam, having arrived in which you will not be disappointed with the sea, nature and surrounding views. Here are some photos of the tourist areas of Fukuoka.

Beaches in Fukuoka

What is a beach holiday like in Fukuoka? Is the sea clean, is it possible to dive and snorkel, where to sunbathe, are there sun loungers, etc. In short, everything is here for a beach holiday, the beaches are excellent, there are sun loungers with umbrellas and beach restaurants, but the water is a bit cloudy and there is often biting plankton. However, all this does not interfere with rest.

Season in Fukuoka. When is the best time to go on holiday to Phu Quoc?

It is important to choose the right time to fly to the southern island of Vietnam. The best time to visit Fukuoka is winter. Ideally from December to March. These are the most ideal months. But you can already come from November to April, since in November the rainy season ends and the weather is most often good, and in April the weather is good, but this is the hottest and driest month.

The rainy season begins in May and lasts through October, but at the end of October it is already on the wane.

While rains and high waves rage in Nha Trang in winter, Phu Quoc has beautiful weather, sunny days and a calm clear sea. Therefore, we go to Nha Trang in the summer, and to Phu Quoc in the winter.

Packages and tours

Construction site in Fukuoka

We have already repeated in at least three articles that Phu Quoc is a construction island. This is true. Nha Trang is also a construction city, but construction in Nha Trang is not on the same scale as here.

After checking into a hotel, you can easily be a witness to 3-4 construction sites around you. It is important to choose the right hotel. Even renting a room in an expensive hotel, there is no guarantee that at least behind it there will be no construction, dust and roar.

Main road from morning to evening with heavy traffic of dump trucks

In the Long Beach area, we found a quiet area in which we settled in a hotel. There are only four small narrow streets and most of the hotels have been saved from construction. The only developed place near the beach with infrastructure, shops and cafes, and most importantly, the lack of construction work.

In this isolated area you can live in silence

Infrastructure in Fukuoka. Shops, markets

Fukuoka has only one large supermarket (by local standards), which can only be reached from the coast by taxi or moped. It's called Duong Dong mini mart. A point on the map . As for the correctness of the point, I’m not sure, the residents of Fukuoka are not particularly friendly with maps.

There are no such well-known stores in Asia as A-Mart, K-Mart, FamilyMart, 7-Eleven and Big C in Fukuoka. There are small grocery stores in the coastal zone, but they are more useful for tourists than for those who are going to live here. Everything that needs to be cooked in the kitchen is not for sale.

Before the trip, we really counted on Coop Mart. But in the well-known Vietnamese supermarket chain on this island, a minimum of products is sold and, unfortunately, you can’t buy anything basic. Everything that is in private shops - chips, cookies, snacks, beer, drinks (no wine).

Where can I order a transfer from the airport?

We use the service - Kiwi Taxi
Ordered a taxi online, paid by card. We were greeted at the airport with a sign with our name on it. We were taken to the hotel in a comfortable car. You have already talked about your experience In this article.

For food, vegetables, fruits and meat you need to go to. For seafood at night. The night market is more touristy. Day market for locals. There are no prices, just ask. Almost no one knows English, the price is shown on the fingers or with the help of their money.

This alignment is far from a joy for us personally, because Vietnamese markets are not distinguished by cleanliness and appearance, and going here at least once a week would be real torture for us.

And there is not a single shopping center in Fukuoka.

Cafes and restaurants in Fukuoka

There is a very large selection of cafes and there are also restaurants of a good standard. It is impossible to stay hungry here. For lovers of the exotic, there are Vietnamese restaurants with a crocodile on a spit and some other animal.

A typical picture for Vietnam. Butchered carcass to attract visitors. This horror really can cause someone's appetite? We must be from another planet, but this is disgusting and makes you want to cry when you see this. It is good that such restaurants on the island are not common everywhere.

The island is full of more cafes for tourists, where any visitor will be able to meet their budget. You can eat in cafes, where lunch with a drink will cost you 80 dong per person ($ 4). Our average bill in local cafes is 150-200 thousand dong (7-9$).

You can go to almost all restaurants, where you can easily eat up to 250 dong for two

Dogs in Fukuoka

If you have already been to Thailand, and especially to Koh Samui and Pattaya, then you are probably worried about the issue of stray dogs. Should I be afraid of them in Fukuoka? I will tell you that here you can not be afraid to walk in the evening. In Vietnam, there are no problems with dogs at all, as they are caught or eaten. Although there are more dogs on this island than in other cities of Vietnam that we visited, they don’t walk in packs here at night and we basically didn’t see stray dogs. In this region of Vietnam, they are loved, oddly enough.

Many times we have seen pets, a feature of which is the protruding jaw.

For some reason, thoroughbred Fukuoka dogs do not have chewing teeth, so the jaw and teeth stick out a little, as if they have an incorrect bite.

Local people in Fukuoka

Fukuoka people are very friendly, unlike Nha Trang people. In the early days, we were pleasantly surprised that in many cafes they smiled at us, and did not come up with a brick face. They were also surprised that, for the most part, Fukuoka people speak English better than in tourist Nha Trang, where some merchants and waiters still cannot connect two words in English. Perhaps the proximity to Cambodia has an effect, because almost all Khmers speak English.

Vietnamese on vacation. Vietnamese and noise are inseparable things

Once we met a girl from Hanoi who moved to the island and opened her own restaurant. I think that there are enough resourceful Vietnamese here. Since the island has excellent potential and huge sums are invested in its development.

And in Fukuoka, the Vietnamese seemed to us a little quieter. Usually they speak loudly, even yelling, talking among themselves. Just like the Chinese. But here in the tourist areas they are somehow more modest.

As for long-term residence for foreigners, Russians live here, of course, there are Russian restaurants and travel agencies, but there are so few of them that we can safely say that the second Pattaya or the second Nha Trang will not be here soon.

What to see in Fukuoka

Visit Winpearl Water Park, go to Baisao Beach, visit a waterfall and a coconut prison. You can also look at the pearl or pepper factory if you are interested. We wrote an interesting article on this topic and compiled a list of attractions that you can see on the island during your vacation.

Things to do in the evening

Relax in Fukuoka in the evening. In the evening, life on the island does not collapse, but comes to life. Everyone around here does not fall asleep at 8 pm. Cozy cafes and bars are everywhere.

All beach and non-beach restaurants are beautifully illuminated, young people are walking, tourists are drinking beer on the beach and watching sunsets.

Where is better, in Sihanoukville or Fukuoka

On almost every count, we think it's better. Firstly, there are many equipped beaches, secondly, there are many excursions, and thirdly, there are enough islands where you can go for the whole day or even more, the food in the cafe is tastier and the Khmers cannot be compared in friendliness, openness and smiles with the Vietnamese.

In general, it would be more logical if Phu Quoc belonged to Cambodia, not only because it is located 15 km from it, but Phu Quoc is separated from Vietnam by as much as 65 km. But also because it would be more comfortable and atmospheric here, as, for example, on a Cambodian island.

On the other hand, Vietnam is a more developed country. The Vietnamese at least maintain cleanliness, there is no garbage on the streets, there are good roads in the tourist area, this is much better than the dusty broken asphalt in Sihanoukville and the garbage dumps on the roadsides. Probably everything is as it should be. Although, Cambodia seems to have put Phu Quoc back on its to-do list for the new year.

Holidays in Fukuoka reviews

If we consider holidays in Phu Quoc as a separate resort in Vietnam, then it is certainly best to go on vacation for a beach holiday here. For us personally, in addition to good beaches, it is also important in Phu Quoc that there is less concentration of everything that many people do not like so much in Vietnam - crazy traffic and general chaos from the cries of people and roosters, mixed with the beeping and crackling of motorbikes.

In conclusion, I will say that Phu Quoc, whatever one may say, is the most relaxing island, as far as it can be in hectic and buzzing Vietnam. Phu Quoc is radically different from and a bit like. But in terms of the quality of the beaches, perhaps, it really is ahead of all the resorts in Vietnam.
