How to read this page

These are typical market figures from sources published between 2024 and 2026, read on 11 October 2026. They are not our prices, and they move with the season. Use them to budget the days you spend on the island outside anything we book, and to check whether a quote makes sense.

Prices are in Vietnamese dong because that is what you pay on the island. A cash withdrawal from an ATM with a foreign card costs about 40,000 VND per transaction by one published figure, so fewer, larger withdrawals are cheaper.

Noise is described in words, not decibels: we use what published guides say about each area, and the night market's busy hours. Distances to markets and hospitals are given only where a source states them; elsewhere the table says "by car". Room ranges are for typical rooms, not villas.

Getting around: Grab, taxi, scooter or car

Option	Typical cost	Notes
Grab, short ride in Duong Dong	about 30,000 – 60,000 VND	Book in the app
Grab, Duong Dong to Ong Lang	about 80,000 VND	Each way
Grab, airport transfer	about 120,000 VND
Metered taxi	roughly double the Grab rate	Airport to Duong Dong about 180,000 – 220,000 VND
Scooter, semi-automatic	about 150,000 – 200,000 VND a day	Passport or about 2,000,000 VND cash deposit
Scooter, automatic	about 200,000 – 250,000 VND a day	A full tank, about 50,000 VND, lasts two to three days
Car with driver	about 1,500,000 – 2,000,000 VND a day	Worth it for a day of errands across the island

For a stay in Ong Lang with a trip into town every other day, Grab costs about 160,000 VND per round trip and needs no licence. A scooter costs more per day than that but covers everything. Vietnam recognises International Driving Permits issued under the 1968 Vienna Convention, held with your home motorcycle licence; 1949 Geneva permits are not recognised, and insurers may refuse claims from unlicensed riders.

Food and drink

Item	Typical cost
Banh mi from a cart	about 25,000 – 35,000 VND
Banh canh (thick noodle soup)	about 40,000 – 60,000 VND
Com tam (broken rice)	about 50,000 – 70,000 VND
Pho	about 70,000 – 90,000 VND
Mid-range seafood meal, no drinks	about 200,000 – 400,000 VND per person
Dish at a west-coast tourist restaurant	about 150,000 – 300,000 VND
Local beer, street-side	about 20,000 – 30,000 VND
Beer at a beach club or bar	about 50,000 – 80,000 VND

The same survey gives daily food budgets per person of about 150,000 to 250,000 VND for backpackers, 350,000 to 600,000 VND mid-range and 800,000 to 1,500,000 VND for comfortable eating. It also reports that night-market stalls charge roughly double restaurant prices for seafood. At Duong Dong market, an agency guide quotes mackerel at about 130,000 VND per kg and large squid at 200,000 to 250,000 VND per kg, useful if your room has a kitchen.

A sample week from Ong Lang, per person

Item	Count	Typical cost for the week
Grab round trips to Duong Dong	3	about 480,000 VND (shared if two travel)
Mid-range eating	7 days	about 2,450,000 – 4,200,000 VND
60-minute massage, island salon	2	about 600,000 – 1,000,000 VND
Kayak hour at Cua Can	1	about 80,000 – 100,000 VND
Suoi Tranh ticket (wet months)	1	about 30,000 VND
Local SIM package	1	about 100,000 – 300,000 VND

That comes to roughly 3,700,000 to 6,100,000 VND per person for the week before the room, by our arithmetic on the published figures above. Your room is the larger number: seven nights in Ong Lang at the typical range of 450,000 to 1,500,000 VND a night, and 30 to 50 percent more from December to February.

Massages and wellness

Massage is cheap enough on the island to make part of a weekly routine. A 2026 survey publishes a classic 60-minute body massage at about 300,000 to 500,000 VND in salons, foot reflexology at about 300,000 to 620,000 VND, and resort-spa treatments from about 700,000 VND. One Duong Dong day spa lists opening hours of 09:00 to 23:00; one Ong Lang resort spa lists 09:00 to 19:00.

Several resorts on the north-west coast list morning yoga for guests. A hotel blog suggests standalone drop-in classes cost about US$10 to 20, but it names no studio with that price, so treat it as a rough guide. Our wellness week books three treatments and chooses a property with morning yoga.

Season changes everything except lunch

Rooms are where the season shows. One 2026 survey puts peak season, roughly December to February, at 30 to 50 percent above other months, and gives the example of a guesthouse charging 400,000 VND in June and 600,000 VND in January. September and October can drop 40 to 50 percent. Walk-in rates run 20 to 30 percent above online prices.

Food, rides and massages hardly move. So a long stay in May, June or October costs noticeably less in total while the daily spending stays the same. Read Phu Quoc in the rainy season before choosing those months, and see the stay plans for what we include.

Common questions

Questions travellers ask most

How much should we budget per day on Phu Quoc, room excluded?

For mid-range eating and a few rides, about 400,000 to 700,000 VND per person per day, by our arithmetic on published figures. Add massages and activities on top.

Is Grab cheaper than a scooter for a long stay?

If you go into town every other day from Ong Lang, Grab is about 160,000 VND per round trip and needs no licence. Daily scooter hire costs 150,000 to 250,000 VND plus fuel but covers every trip.

Are there ATMs?

Yes. A foreign-card withdrawal costs about 40,000 VND per transaction by one published figure, so take out larger amounts less often.

Where is the nearest hospital to Ong Lang?

Phu Quoc General Hospital in Duong Dong, listed as open 24 hours, is the nearest. The Vinmec international hospital is further north in the Bai Dai area.
