You step off the air-conditioned minivan into heat that smells of salt and vegetation; the ocean ahead seems to pull the day forward. South Phu Quoc unfolds as a sequence of contrasts — a world-record cable car that soars over clean blue water, quiet pagoda terraces that hold slow chants, and a thin ribbon of sand at Khem Beach where surf nudges your footprint away.
