Rach Gia

Rach Gia is a port town located at the southern end of Vietnam in the Gulf of Thailand. Its main industries are fishing and agriculture. There are several places of interest not too far from Rach Gia including Ha Tien about 100km north-west which has some unusual limestone formations. Many of the rock formations have caves that have been turned into temples.

Rach Gia is the place to catch a ferry if you intend to visit Phu Quoc Island by boat. The ferry leaves from Rach Gia Park at the west end of Nguyen Cong Tru street.
