What time of year should I go?

As a sub-equatorial monsoon tropical island and located in the Gulf of Thailand, Phu Quoc has many different climate characteristics. The climate is divided into two seasons, the rainy season and the dry season. Because it is the gateway to welcome the West - Southwest monsoon, in the rainy season the humidity in the island is very high (from 85 to 90%). In the dry season, the island is affected by the Northeast monsoon, so the temperature will increase in April and May.

Therefore, the best time to go to Ngoc Island is the dry season. That is, from the end of October to the end of March next year, in addition, it can also last until May if the weather is favorable. At this time, the weather in Phu Quoc is less rainy, the waves are calm and cool, which is very convenient for traveling and relaxing.
