Phu Quoc island. This island was fought over between the Khmer Rouge-Vietnamese war of the late 1970s. You can only get here via flying to Ho Chi Minh city and then taking a bus/boat from there. Rumors abound of gun battles between the Vietnamese on this island and Khmer ships who sail near the island but I have not confirmed this really. I've only heard it from numerous associates here. This view is from Bokor Mountain road... now currently closed to all vehicular traffic due to construction. But those interested can hike this road. Its about 35km to the top. I suggest anyone going pack lots of water, wine, and food. The ranger station at the top has supplies but as you can expect the supplies are meager. They rescued us in a horrible bind we got in.. while visiting the old 19century French colonial bldgs at the top. (we were caught in very rough monsoon rains).
