Unlike the busy atmosphere of the night market, the Day Market reveals the authentic local life of Phu Quoc. Here, you can observe tireless fishermen showcasing their fresh catches from that very morning. The fishermen often use the sunlight to dry their seafood, marinating it with salt to create salted fish, a traditional Vietnamese delicacy. If you’re fortunate, you might even witness the entire process firsthand, from catch to preparation. This experience offers a unique glimpse into the daily routines of the island’s community and the rich culinary traditions of Vietnam. Due to the market selling predominantly seafood, the strong smell might not be too comfortable for all.

As one of the oldest night markets in Phu Quoc, with nearly 30 years of history, this vibrant hub brings together locals from across the island to showcase their offerings. From delicious local food stalls to charming souvenir shops, the market is a treasure trove of experiences. With over 100 vendors ready to welcome you, Phu Quoc Night Market invites you to explore and indulge in the rich flavours and unique crafts of the region. It’s a perfect place to immerse yourself in the local culture, sample authentic Vietnamese cuisine, and find special keepsakes to remember your visit. If you are not familiar with Asian street food, we do not recommend to try due to potential hygiene problems.
