Phú Quốc, Vietnam: Itinerary and Budget (travel with baby)

We meet again, readers!

In a blink of an eye 2024 is coming to an end! Lots of changes happened to us since the arrival of our baby boy last Boxing Day. I'm still adjusting to my mom life. Having a child wasn't part of the plan but after 10 years of marriage and honeymoon phase we decided to have one. Little Gabriel is such a blessing.

Our little adventure this time around is so different. Many things have to consider for the sake of the baby such as food, diapers, nap time etc. So our travel plan is no plan in other words it has to be flexible. Wake up then only decide where to go and visit one place per day. Be prepared to return to hotel anytime when the baby gets tired and agitated.

Phu Quoc is not really well known among Malaysians although the entire island is very tourist eccentric. But it is well known amongst Koreans. Everywhere you turn will surely hear Koreans. Can't escape them. You can also see for yourself that the attractions are "trying too hard". No offense but this is just based on my experience. If you are looking for authentic Vietnamese culture Phu Quoc might not be for you. 

It's a really fun place for kids though. There's a safari, Disney-like themepark, waterpark which included when you ride the longest cable car in the world, gondola rides at Venice replica town, Positano replica town which is truly gorgeous, kissing bridge, teddy bear museum, starfish beach and even a casino.
