Unveiling: Phú Quốc Travelogue
Introducing Phú Quốc Travelogue, a locally curated tourist information hub. It is the first project under bàbu and an essential part of our ecosystem plan. Since traveling is the gateway to culture, we want to introduce Việt Nam through Phú Quốc.
The launch date is September 2, 2025—marking the 80th anniversary of Việt Nam’s Independence.
An Up-to-Date and Filtered Information Hub
The rise of the internet and social media has created an endless stream of information for travelers. With the emergence of AI, it is more accessible than ever. Yet, finding accurate and authentic information is still not easy. The research process often demands hours of verifying and cross-checking multiple sources. On top of that, paid media, influencer reviews, and advertising only add to the noise. The result: overwhelming confusion.
Phú Quốc Travelogue aims to address this challenge for the island. Inspired by great examples like Thailand and Bali, we believe a carefully built information site can significantly support tourism. Our approach is to provide straightforward, descriptive, and reliable information—without emotional coloring or subjective reviews. Every piece of content is created by locals with genuine knowledge and firsthand experience.
The goal is simple: reduce the time travelers spend researching while ensuring accuracy. Phú Quốc Travelogue is not designed to convince people to visit—the island is already enchanting on its own. Instead, it is here to offer those interested in Phú Quốc a clear, insightful expectation when planning their journey.
What you’ll find includes:
Essential: visa, transportation, money, communication, safety, regulations
Accommodation: stay, eat, drink
Activities: what to do, where to go
Culture: explanations of customs and unique details
We set the bare minimum expectation—the rest is for you to discover. For us, that is the best way to travel.
A Guide to Mini Việt Nam
Phú Quốc represents Việt Nam in a remarkable way. Although the island lies in the Southwest, its residents come from provinces all across the country, bringing diverse regional cultures together. This makes Phú Quốc both fascinating and, at times, puzzling for newcomers to Vietnamese culture.
“Why does this phở taste so different from the shop just 100 meters away?”
“Why is one toothpick head square while another is pointed?”
“Who is being worshipped at the small altar by the doorway?”
The Travelogue is here to answer questions like these, so your exploration of the island becomes more fulfilling. Understanding the little details of etiquette and custom makes every trip not just a journey, but a cultural lifestyle.
With Phú Quốc Travelogue, bàbu opens the door to a clearer, more genuine understanding of the island. By removing the clutter and highlighting what truly matters, we hope to make every traveler’s preparation easier—and every adventure richer. Phú Quốc is not only an island of beauty but also a living tapestry of Việt Nam’s culture. This is just the beginning, and we invite you to explore it with us, step by step, gently.
