I would stay there for a year because it's empty and cheap and nice. With no distractions around, I would go on a clean diet and workout everyday. 1 year would be great.
Isn’t the food a little on the expensive side though because it has to be shipped in from the main land? I was there with my wife in ‘22 for Vinpearl and the zoo plus a tour on the water. Anyhow our tour guide said it’s a beautiful place to live BUT even green onions were too expensive to eat so he’d not even buy them since it all had to be shipped over. My wife’s friend honeymooned the island basically two weeks after we left it and was hit with a storm basically every day. I’d stay there for a vacation but to live there permanently probably not only because all our family is on the mainland in either Saigon or up in Bao Loc; I’d want to visit them but they wouldn’t be able to come to me often because they are mostly farmers of some sort and no one would watch their crops.
You’ve obviously never been to Dalat which has temperate climates with low humidity and avg temps in the mid 70’s year round, it’s like living SoCal year round. Also Danang is nice with low humidity and low rainfall from Nov through May.. Maybe you should travel throughout the country instead of staying in one city and assuming the whole country is humid all the time..Hanoi gets cold during the winter months also. Typical clueless drive by tourist comment.
@@travelwithtony5767 Spent 6 weeks in Da Nang. Hot hot hot and humid. In February. Also Ho Chi Mien. 34 Celsius and humid. I have heard Hanoi is cooler and may check it out next time I’m back. Love Vietnam.
I was there last month from the US and roaming around on a motorbike when I stumbled on Sunset Town. Absolutely mesmerizing. I stayed there for many hours. I would love to go back and live there for a while.
@@greigbell7987 Because when I was in Vietnam I road a motorbike through the Ha Giang Loop, did a Halong Bay cruise, a night on Cat Ba Island, motorbiked Danang, Hoi An, Nah Trang, Ho Chi Minh and Phu Quoq. I experienced a huge variety of Vietnam from the most remote to the heavily touristed. I would love to go back and spend more time at each place. I love the variety.
I was there in March. It’s not just Sunset Town. I stayed in The Marina. It was also crazy cheap and on a beautiful beach. Same thing on the other end of the island at VinWorld.
Greeny, new subscriber here. I’m really enjoying your vlogs. I’m blown away by Phu Quoc. The air was amazing… as I’ve been kind of turned off by this air/smog. Your camera work is awesome… that dji camera does great nighttime work. This could be a great alternative to escape to if I lived in Chiang Mai 9 months a year(burning season escape) thanks for showing us a future hit spot!!
Great video Greeny. You just caught yourself as you said "Sawatdee Kr..." to the Vietnamese noodle maker. Difficult juggling all the languages in the region 👍😀👍+1.

Reminds me of Lake Las Vegas in Nevada after the financial crisis.... faux European look and completely empty. What makes a place vibrant, is not just clean streets and nice accommodation but the people! No fun drinking in an empty bar.
@@GreenyTravels to each their own. I am a people watcher - I need vibrant streets and a certain pulse of activity. You are a funny match for Pattaya! 😅
Watch “Las Vegas: An Unconventional History” by PBS. Or Martin Scorsese's "Casino" (1995). Totally empty when the first hotel/casino was opened. Ironically, Phu Quoc is being considered to have casinos.
Awesome Greeny ! Keep up the great vids. I'll be in Thailand in a couple weeks looking to retire. Looking at condo's in Chiang Mai, Hua Hin. Jomtien because of some of your content. Now Phu Quoc 😂!
Thx for the heads up Greeny! Yup been going there and Hua Hin. Thailand in general for years. Liking the direct flights from CM into Danang which is also on the list and direct to Hua Hin. I certainly won't be there during the burning season and that might encourage me to hit some of the islands as well. I'll be in Thailand in a couple weeks. I'll have a peek at Jomtien again. It's been years since I've been there. The new condo's that are going up look great. I know you bought there. I assume you're still happy? Renting maybe the wisest but I don't mind the idea of buying something myself. Great content Greeny. You're vids get better and better!
There is not a retirement visa in VN. One must be married, employed or own a company. Tourist visa are 3 months, can be renewed, but must cross the border to do.
Great video, this place looks absolutely incredible. How do you rent an apartment, did you do this once you were on the island or before and what was the process?
Hello, as a Vietnamese citizen, thank you for spending time relaxing on Phu Quoc island. Currently, the Phu Quoc city government has been building projects to serve relaxation and entertainment for guests. tourism to deserve to become a new tourist destination in the world
Sungroup is developing as well similar condos in DN on the Han river. Definitely luxurious and great design... Prices are sky high... Lots of speculation I think... Not sure how the occupancy rate will be though. Huge glut of such luxurious properties in VN right now... Feels like hot money than real demand behind it. Might go either way I guess.
Very informative vid Greeny! I just checked out the distance from the Roma hotel (area) to The Rabbit Hole (Irish pub) is a half hour ride… Q: would u have any idea of a Grab’ ride to & to and from? Cheers
Nice job dude! I’ve been following you for a while even through your break up 😢 Retiring to Pattaya in September. Tell me why I should go to Vietnam instead thanks bud. Ray
I am VIetnamese and I can tell you that hotels can be cheap but prices of houses and apartments here are among the most expensive in the country equal to prices of downtown Hanoi and Saigon real estates. When the economy is fully restored this place will be filled up with residents. The owners of this development are also US billionaire.
@@BrunoHeggli-zp3nlgrimy Demand from Cnina. I was there in Feb 2024 for 2 weeks (not at Sunset Town). Was told by a Grab driver that the development was financed by the wealthiest man in VN. But Covid hit and the Chinese are not travelling as as pre covid so sales are, shall we say, slow. So all those streets you see in this vid --- stop the vid and and enlarge. Can you see anyone walking in the streets? Few if any. The place is eerily quiet, like an Italian ghost town. Its freakish!!! Sure there's fireworks every night at 9:30, sure it seems the locals fill the street in a parade to make it seem there is excitement. Phu Quoc has been raped by billionaires who care not about the environment. And if thats what floats one's boat, there another Disneyland like development at the northern end of the island.
Demands? hahahahahaha. Phu Quoc reputation is finished. They are in crisis mode. Problem is Viets have no idea about sustainable tourism. They are too greedy so every tourist spot gets ruined by Viets as soon as it becomes popular. All of the country's tourist spots are ruined with trash and many other issues - Ha Long Bay, Sapa, Hoi An, etc. A total wreck. Overpriced trash bins.
seems like a deserted place. if you like solitude and non-traditional commerce and good housing then it looks excellent. Good beaches and great views and activities. When I was younger it would be a paradise. Do you still have your cat? We have 3 cats so travel is rather limited. Thanks for the video and have a great day!
Vietnam is an amazing place. A phenomenal hotel. I would love to visit this place and yes, I would stay at that hotel. A 1-year lease would be great, you could bounce back and forth between there and Thailand during the burning season and it wouldn't break the budget.
Thanks for the video. I'm starting to hear people say they would rather be in Vietnam than Thailand. I currently live in Colombia and I'm considering moving to Asia.
Nice place as a getaway, although u need to take a short flight out of HTM, i prefer resort at Mui Ne, which is 2 hr ride out of HCM Saigon, no need take a flight
The Studio apartments are a pretty good deal.....Is there anything like internet and weekly maid service included in the rent? The larger apartments are very expensive for an Asian country especially one that speaks limited english
Hey this is a “helpful” hint It’s pronounced “Foo wok” I was there 18 years ago, man has it changed! Oh and my wife is Vietnamese, that’s how I know the pronunciation! Thanks your vids are awesome!! We have a home outside of Ho Chi Min Am planning to avoid the elections here probably be back in August!! Enjoy!
Room #301 for under $400 would work just fine for me. Don't need an ocean view and the balcony looks big enough. Looks like it's probably quiet on that side.
@@GreenyTravels I understand but that may be what a large number of your subscribers would enjoy knowing. I know if Thailand allows gambling legally many RUclipsrs will come to Thailand to experience it. Cambodia is a perfect example. Met many people from Thailand visiting Cambodia just for the experience of casino fun. I won very time I went so far. Good restaurants and shops also inside some hotel casino's. Just a thought. Peace
$1500/mo for a studio apartment in phu quoc is insane, if you travel about 3-4km down the road from this sunworld place you'll find 5 bedroom houses with private swimming pool for half the price
Phu Quoc is NOT for lonely single men seeking out Pattaya's delights. It is developed for family-friendly vacation. The world tourism business is starting to bounce back from Covid, so it will take another year or so before writing an obituary for this place.
Greeny starts talking to the Kung Fu Noodle chef: Ooohhhh, Sawadi-krap..and then lowers his voice when he realizes he's in Vietnam 😂😂😂. I thought it was an apt you're staying in but it's actually a hotel. Either way its very nice and cheap indeed! Enjoy it before it gets wwaayyy too crowded and the beach starts going downhill. The Vietnamese govt better not screw this gem up!
It's not crowded because it's grossly overdeveloped and polluted. The natives have been driven from their homes by the absurd fake cities, and their raw sewage on the beach keeps the tourists away. There are rarely two-time visits to Phu Quoc. It's another Vietnamese tourist disaster; thoughtless overdevelopment and not a thought about the environment.
I could that place being great for a month or so to escape from burning season in thailand. I live in Chiang Mai and currently in Danang before starting a week long motorbike tour starting in Hanoi. Dont think i could live in that area with it being all planned out. I like a little more edge and natural cityscape for my taste. Definitely looking to visit Phu Quoc just to see the contrast from the local areas and the planned areas.
Your like nice fireworks only 50$... i dont pay that in the states..lol.also those food street vendors...never once did tou show prices....western ones.. might as well go to florida
You can't own a property in Vietnam as Singapore or Malaysia, you rent it for 49 years. This is best way to avoid speculation. The day you buy, the price starts falling to be 0 in 49 years.
Renting a condo under 30 days is illegal in Thailand and violates the hotel act. So, a person is risking being kicked out of the condo complex if they are reported.
Nha Trang beach town has nicer view apartments at lower price. Has much better local access to amenities like airport and hospitals. Did I mention that it's half price of Phu Quoc? Check it out.
Only downside it you need a visa. Can’t just do a last second trip. Other than that it sounds great. I’ve been to Danang once too. I’m gonna investigate those places more
You know what vietnam has a lot of big project government and private sector not only in hanoi and saigon all the provinces in vietnam, this country 53% can speak english and actually of all south east asia vietnam most students going to abroad to study there and vietnam their poverty rate is less than 5% one of the lowest in the world.. if u compared thailand and vietnam development particularly their provinces vietnam provinces more development more modern than thailand provinces even indonesia provinces philippines provinces still vietnam has the edge.vietnam js beautiful
Hi Greeny. Fellow Michigander here. I'm currently in Jomtien and I have to get out of here. Could I buy you a beer or something to eat and talk to you about Phu Quoc? Or if you're too busy for that, could I please ask you a few questions here?
I would only lease short term. They do offer 90 or 30 year leases. I already forgot 😂. It was like 70K USD. In nice high rise but who’s gonna do that anyways when we can’t even get retirement visas there
The rate of development in some areas of Vietnam is a bit concerning. I think Da Nang will be ruined in 10 years. It's still pretty good right now though.
![Blox Fruits Dragon Rework Update [Full Stream]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EqDAp8udhm0/mqdefault.jpg)
I would stay there for a year because it's empty and cheap and nice. With no distractions around, I would go on a clean diet and workout everyday. 1 year would be great.
That's just exactly what I was thinking!!!
DaNang has a great healthy lifestyle culture if you haven't ever visited. Lot more people but definitely not overcrowded. Great vibes in Danang
I totally agree!

It’s turned out beautiful. Thanks for the great info !

Oh. Shit great question. I think it was different. A weird design but I don’t remember
Nice place affordable i like it 🇺🇸
super , super clean streets and environment
Great info Greeny! Looks pretty cool there. Enjoy your day bud! 😊
Thxx. Appreciate it
I was there in March. It’s not just Sunset Town. I stayed in The Marina. It was also crazy cheap and on a beautiful beach. Same thing on the other end of the island at VinWorld.
I rode to motorbike across to Vin World. Seemed even more dead there. Was gonna stay on that end next time. Might stick in Sunset or Marina.
The price is right. I like the fact that the waves aren't knowing you over.
Great Video!!!... what was the name of the Hotel you showed in the Video (the high rise one with pool on roof)?
The Sea. Across the street is the Hill. Both very nice. Same layout
This place is almost unreal, like Disney World. Gorgeous!
yes little scary

Greeny well done I have noticed more people are retiring now to Vietnam and even Cambodia than Thailand why ?
Cambodia’s retirement visa is considerably easier to obtain…(obviously dependant where ur from etc, easy research) Cheers
Very inexpensive those places. Still the most coming to Thailand.
Thanks for the video 😊
Appreciate you watching!!
Vietnam is an amazing place. A phenomenal hotel. I would love to visit this place and yes, I would stay at that hotel. A 1-year lease would be great, you could bounce back and forth between there and Thailand during the burning season and it wouldn't break the budget.
that was veryyyy informative!!! how would you get there? are there convenience stores nearby?
Yep. Storefront shop at the hotel
Thanks for the video. I'm starting to hear people say they would rather be in Vietnam than Thailand. I currently live in Colombia and I'm considering moving to Asia.
Might be a smart move
Thailand is better in many things, but if one wants to live really cheap, there are perhaps more ways to squeeze the money in Vietnam.
Nice place as a getaway, although u need to take a short flight out of HTM, i prefer resort at Mui Ne, which is 2 hr ride out of HCM Saigon, no need take a flight
Mui Ne- Phan Thiet also very nice
And visas? You can stay one year?
30 day on arrival. You can get 90 day online. No one years yet
Nice apartments but not sure what to make of it. Not much to do in a ghost town. How many times you can stroll the same empty streets?
Very odd. Yes.
There appears to be some good nightlife 1/2 hr drive north…(Google maps/restaurants/bars etc)
You could start a Family so your less bored!
Where did you fly in to? How did you get to the condo? Did you rent a car or arrange a pickup? What were your transportation costs?
There is a newer international airport there. Like $8 to arrange a ride. Also there is grab and taxis. I rented a motorbike at the condo
The Studio apartments are a pretty good deal.....Is there anything like internet and weekly maid service included in the rent? The larger apartments are very expensive for an Asian country especially one that speaks limited english
Yes. There are some on Air BNB
Would you say the beach on the North East facing where the JW is, better then the beaches near the airport (where a lot of resort development is)?
All nice but yes. I think the Marriott one was the nicest
@@GreenyTravels I will put this on my short list.
I don't know for sure as I have not looked too hard but isn't it impossible to get a retirement visa to VN now? Might be interesting to look into
I think they are looking at making one. That’s the rumor I was told. No clue really
Hey this is a “helpful” hint
It’s pronounced
“Foo wok”
I was there 18 years ago, man has it changed!
Oh and my wife is Vietnamese, that’s how I know the pronunciation!
Thanks your vids are awesome!!
We have a home outside of

Am planning to avoid the elections here probably be back in August!!

Nd that told me. Thank you. I had no clue
Did you say you got a visa on arrival? How is that possible for Americans. I've been going to Vietnam for 17 years and always need a visa.
The exception is only for Phu Quoc. They are trying to increase tourism there. If you Google that there is more information about it
Room #301 for under $400 would work just fine for me. Don't need an ocean view and the balcony looks big enough. Looks like it's probably quiet on that side.

Can we apply for visa on arrival? and....like the rest of Vietnam I would assume the US$ is taken widely correct?

That could change. They need to at least for the island.
You started greeting in Thai, but switched to English 😀
And your fridge still has transport🤣 tape inside
lol. I did that so many times there.
Totally cool
Thank you!!
Greeny starts talking to the Kung Fu Noodle chef: Ooohhhh, Sawadi-krap..and then lowers his voice when he realizes he's in Vietnam 😂😂😂. I thought it was an apt you're staying in but it's actually a hotel. Either way its very nice and cheap indeed! Enjoy it before it gets wwaayyy too crowded and the beach starts going downhill. The Vietnamese govt better not screw this gem up!
The hotel owns 2 of the apartments. They are in the process of buying 20 more
Hello sawatdekrap🤣Forgot that you was in Vietnam and not Thailand for a moment 🤪Hope it's not an early stage of dementia 😱
May be.
Its crazy how many RUclipsrs from Thailand are going there. Chuck and Paige were literally just there and so was Geoffrey Perterson.
They didn’t go to phu Quoc though.
Only draw back is its mostly very quiet there.
Good for a short quiet getaway
It's not crowded because it's grossly overdeveloped and polluted. The natives have been driven from their homes by the absurd fake cities, and their raw sewage on the beach keeps the tourists away. There are rarely two-time visits to Phu Quoc. It's another Vietnamese tourist disaster; thoughtless overdevelopment and not a thought about the environment.
incredible
I could that place being great for a month or so to escape from burning season in thailand. I live in Chiang Mai and currently in Danang before starting a week long motorbike tour starting in Hanoi. Dont think i could live in that area with it being all planned out. I like a little more edge and natural cityscape for my taste. Definitely looking to visit Phu Quoc just to see the contrast from the local areas and the planned areas.
Lots of nature there. These developments a very small part of the island
I would stay there rather than thailand......its way too polluted and crowded in Thailand
This island pretty quiet. Loved it
Is there a red light district?
lol. All green. Good place to take a date not find one.
Vietnam is not into sex tourism. Also, they aim this for family tourism.
Your like nice fireworks only 50$... i dont pay that in the states..lol.also those food street vendors...never once did tou show prices....western ones.. might as well go to florida
Fireworks anyone can see. That’s to sit in the pavilion and watch the laser show up close. Which I never did.
Thank you
That town has the weird Disney Land/shopping mall vibe. Too new and too clean for me. That being said, I wouldn't mind staying there for a few days.
It’s a good value. You just rent a motorbike and head out anywhere on the island
where are all the people?
No one goes there. Thats why I like to go there
With new Thai tax "interpretation" and immigration hassle, this is starting to look reasonable.
I’m waiting to see if this tax stuff actually ever really effects anyone
You can't own a property in Vietnam as Singapore or Malaysia, you rent it for 49 years. This is best way to avoid speculation. The day you buy, the price starts falling to be 0 in 49 years.
True.
There is nothing wrong with speculation!
Buying in vietnam very risky, some developers build on public land, govt has bulldozed buildings
Looks like a great place for a family, not for a single bloke 🤔
Yes. Take the date there cause you won’t find one as far as I can tell
Renting a condo under 30 days is illegal in Thailand and violates the hotel act. So, a person is risking being kicked out of the condo complex if they are reported.
This is Vietnam. Not Thailand
Nha Trang beach town has nicer view apartments at lower price. Has much better local access to amenities like airport and hospitals. Did I mention that it's half price of Phu Quoc? Check it out.
Only downside it you need a visa. Can’t just do a last second trip. Other than that it sounds great. I’ve been to Danang once too. I’m gonna investigate those places more
When I'm in PQ i'm going to stay there
Good deal now.
You know what vietnam has a lot of big project government and private sector not only in hanoi and saigon all the provinces in vietnam, this country 53% can speak english and actually of all south east asia vietnam most students going to abroad to study there and vietnam their poverty rate is less than 5% one of the lowest in the world.. if u compared thailand and vietnam development particularly their provinces vietnam provinces more development more modern than thailand provinces even indonesia provinces philippines provinces still vietnam has the edge.vietnam js beautiful
The younger generation there much more friendly
Was there last year, great people but my experience regarding English speaking Vietnamese would trend lower tham 53%…..perhaps 25% Cheers
Hi Greeny. Fellow Michigander here. I'm currently in Jomtien and I have to get out of here. Could I buy you a beer or something to eat and talk to you about Phu Quoc? Or if you're too busy for that, could I please ask you a few questions here?
$300 month ? That’s one night hotel in US.
Yep. Some great value
Careful Some of that land is not properly titled or built on public land
I would only lease short term. They do offer 90 or 30 year leases. I already forgot 😂. It was like 70K USD. In nice high rise but who’s gonna do that anyways when we can’t even get retirement visas there
@@GreenyTravels visa ia a huge problem. 5 year DTV visa in Thailand 2 year entrepreneur visa in Japan
The rate of development in some areas of Vietnam is a bit concerning. I think Da Nang will be ruined in 10 years. It's still pretty good right now though.
I gotta get back to Danang
"Hello, swadee ka.....hello" 😂
Krap!!! 😂
Brian, 14 months out to retirement! Then on my way.
That’s it!! You gotta be getting pumped
