Phú Quốc is Vietnam's largest island and has a strategic role in the Gulf of Thailand. From the earliest centuries AD, Phú Quốc was an important landmark for sailors and traders navigating between Southeast Asia and the rest of the world. The island served as a base for local fishermen and a haven for trading ships, thanks to its many sheltered bays and fish-filled waters.
