Killing Phu Quoc Island
How gross economic pursuits are plundering one of Vietnam’s most precious resources. Last month, visitors to the Mango Bay Resort on Phu Quoc Island lounged on a pristine beach dotted with tropical plants. Rivulets of fresh water carried the previous night’s rain into the sea from a lush hillside dotted with airy cabins built without televisions or air-conditioners. In the waves below, rice sacks, plastic bags and crisp packets bobbed up and down while Mango Bay’s ground crew patrolled the sand.

Many wild flowers blossom in rock cavities as … [Read more...] about Hon Khoai Island – the Most Beautiful Island in Southern Vietnam
