Tips

• Extending the trip: Add a day to visit Hon Thom (Pearl Island) for extra snorkeling and a seafood‑free vegetarian picnic.
• Shortening: Skip VinWonders and enjoy more beach time; it saves ~₹7,200.
• Cheapest bookings: Use incognito mode, set price alerts on Skyscanner, and book hotels via Airbnb or local Vietnamese sites (e.g., Agoda Vietnam). Pay with a credit card that offers no‑foreign‑transaction fees.
• Bike vs Car: Phú Quốc’s attractions are within 15 km; bike rental (₹350/day) is far cheaper than a car (₹2,200/day) and parking is free.
• Food: Always mention “Jain diet – no onion, garlic, root vegetables” when ordering. Most Indian restaurants (Shree Krishna, Namaste India, Vedic Delight) understand the requirement.
• Money: Carry some cash (₹) for small vendors; use MoMo or ZaloPay for digital discounts at larger shops.
• Safety: Drink only sealed bottled water, use sunscreen, and keep beaches clean. Respect local customs – dress modestly when visiting temples or villages.
• Hacks: Book the boat excursion a day in advance through local tour agencies to get a 10 % discount. Rent a bike for the entire stay (one‑time security deposit) to avoid daily fees.
