1. Feel the vibrancy of Phu Quoc Nightlife at the night market
If your day has been dedicated to exploring the natural scenery, spend your rest nighttime to feel the joyful vibes of the local markets. Not as crowded and diverse as the night markets in Hanoi, Phu Quoc night markets are smaller and concentrate largely on selling the island’s specialties.
Dinh Cau Night Market – the paradise for seafood lovers
Located at Vo Thi Sau Street, Dinh Cau Night Market is the most famous market for foodaholics. With over 100 stalls and eateries, this place has everything you want to eat: from fresh seafood to snacks and beverages. Here you can sample the rustic snacks of the Southern Vietnamese people such as grilled banana, corn, sweet popato, jackfruit, roasted peanut, etc. Seafood and the typical Vietnamese dishes are also ready to be served here.
The nice thing is, unlike other street markets in Vietnam, the price is well listed on the board. Hence, you can take some walks and compare the price before choosing to stop at any stalls.

Bach Dang Night Market
Established in 2016, Bach Dang is the second night market in Phu Quoc, following Dinh Cau Market. It is also a great place to enjoy the nightlife in Phu Quoc Vietnam.
Bach Dang Night Market stretches over 300 meters and is much quieter and less crowded than Dinh Cau Market. Besides food courts, this place also offers several kinds of gifts, souvenirs, and clothes that you can’t find anywhere else. Nestled alongside Duong Dong River, Bach Dang Market is also a wonderful place to watch the sunset.

2. Enjoy the puppet show at Dao Ngoc Water Puppet Theatre
Water Puppetry is now no longer the exclusive show of northern Vietnam destinations but has spread nationwide, and tourists can enjoy it while on Phu Quoc Island. This is the traditional art form of the northern Vietnamese villagers, with the history dating back to the 11th century.

Don’t worry about its authenticity because the performance is led by the artisans from Thai Binh Province – the birthplace of this interesting puppet show.
Location: Dao Ngoc Water Puppet Theatre, 129 Tran Hung Dao Street, Duong Dong.
Opening Hours: 7:30 PM & 8:30 PM
Ticket Price: 150,000 VND/adult, 120,000 VND/kid
3. Enjoy Phu Quoc Nightlife with a squid fishing tour
Different from the quiet atmosphere on the island, the life of the fishermen on the far-off ocean is contrastingly vibrant. To feel this vibe most authentically, go for a squid fishing trip at night.

The best time to catch squid is in the dry season that falls between November and April. During the squid season, it is much easier for beginners to successfully catch the squids, of course, with the instruction of the experienced locals. Interestingly, the night without the moon would be the better time for this trip, because squid will be more attracted by the lights on your boat.
While throwing the bait and waiting for the squids to bite it, you can enjoy the sparkling night on the ocean. The squids caught would be then cooked directly on the boat so that you could eat it freshly. It is a must-try if you want to feel the best Phu Quoc Vietnam nightlife,
4. Chill at fancy Phu Quoc beach bars
For those seeking the ecstatic noise and wanting to sway to the fancy music, the beachfront bars are where you should spend your Phu Quoc nightlife at.
The bars are beautifully set up alongside the poetic coastline, providing the best space for tourists to chill with excellent wines and joyful music.
