Getting there

By Plane

Epizode festival in Vietnam air-asia-phu-quoc

Epizode Festival is located on Phu Quoc island (pronounced Fu Kwok), the island is located off the coast of Cambodia in the Gulf of Thailand. Luckily, unlike many islands in South-East Asia, it has an airport (PQC).

If you are flying from outside of Asia, we recommend that you fly to Ho Chi Minh or Hanoi first (whichever is cheapest), and then take a cheap flight directly to Phu Quoc.

It is very easy and cheap to fly from anywhere in Asia directly to the island.

Here is a list of airlines that can get you to Epizode Festival in Vietnam (we recommend Airasia): Airasia.com and Jetstar.com

By Bus + Boat

It is also possible to reach the island by boat, first you need to take a bus from Mien Tay Bus Station in Ho Chi Minh. That bus will take you to Rạch Giá, where you can take the boat to the island. It is also possible to take a ferry from Hà Tiên to reach the island. The trip from Rạch Giá costs 330.000vnd and the one from Hà Tiên costs 230.000vnd for the fast ferry and 185.000vnd for the regular one. You can find all the information and purchase your boat ticket HERE.
 

Visa

You can enter Phu Quoc without a visa (unlike the rest of Vietnam) and stay for up to 30 days.
 

Where to stay on the island

The island is somewhat big, since the festival is located on the west side of the island (near the airport), you might want to stay near. Here’s a few hotels, hostels and homes for rent, we already selected only the ones that have ratings of 8 or higher (because nobody wants to stay in a sh**ty hotel). Don’t wait last minute to book, you know how it will end up, most of them will be fully booked!
