My name is Brian but everyone calls me Greeny. I retired in January of 2020 after working 30 years in Law Enforcement. I wanted to retire young enough to be able to do some of the things I always dreamed about! I knew I wanted to travel extensively and retire somewhere warm and exotic I sampled a ton of places in the Caribbean, Panama, Colombia, Turkey but set my sights on Thailand.

I would stay there for a year because it's empty and cheap and nice. With no distractions around, I would go on a clean diet and workout everyday. 1 year would be great.
That's just exactly what I was thinking!!!
DaNang has a great healthy lifestyle culture if you haven't ever visited. Lot more people but definitely not overcrowded. Great vibes in Danang
Bargirls is what foreigner s want.
I totally agree!
Isn’t the food a little on the expensive side though because it has to be shipped in from the main land? I was there with my wife in ‘22 for Vinpearl and the zoo plus a tour on the water. Anyhow our tour guide said it’s a beautiful place to live BUT even green onions were too expensive to eat so he’d not even buy them since it all had to be shipped over. My wife’s friend honeymooned the island basically two weeks after we left it and was hit with a storm basically every day. I’d stay there for a vacation but to live there permanently probably not only because all our family is on the mainland in either Saigon or up in Bao Loc; I’d want to visit them but they wouldn’t be able to come to me often because they are mostly farmers of some sort and no one would watch their crops.
Breathtaking and not overcrowded. The prices are right too. It's the place to go. Don't sleep on Vietnam, it's an emerging giant.
If they get their visa stuff right it will be
Great video Greeny. Just added to my bucket list 😎
I was there last month from the US and roaming around on a motorbike when I stumbled on Sunset Town. Absolutely mesmerizing. I stayed there for many hours. I would love to go back and live there for a while.
Such a good deal to stay there right now
I am VIetnamese and I can tell you that hotels can be cheap but prices of houses and apartments here are among the most expensive in the country equal to prices of downtown Hanoi and Saigon real estates. When the economy is fully restored this place will be filled up with residents. The owners of this development are also US billionaire.
If there is demand the price will shoot up. Thats going to take a while though. Good time to take advantage of these rental values
The hotels in Phu Quoc are way overpriced and you get 3 star service for 5 star prices.
super , super clean streets and environment
I was there in 2019 when they just started the development.
It’s turned out beautiful. Thanks for the great info !
Your welcome!!
You did it again, Greeny! A job, well done! 👍🏾😊
Appreciate it Larry
Great info Greeny! Looks pretty cool there. Enjoy your day bud! 😊
Thxx. Appreciate it
Nice informative video! Numerous lodging options; good amenities offered too.
Appreciate it
Well done Greeny, thank you for the tour. We may have to put this place on the list to stay at while in VN for a few days.
Well worth a visit
@@GreenyTravels 👍
Nice vlog thank you Greeny. Very nice apartments and area.
Great spot
Greeny, new subscriber here. I’m really enjoying your vlogs. I’m blown away by Phu Quoc. The air was amazing… as I’ve been kind of turned off by this air/smog. Your camera work is awesome… that dji camera does great nighttime work. This could be a great alternative to escape to if I lived in Chiang Mai 9 months a year(burning season escape) thanks for showing us a future hit spot!!
Great video Greeny. You just caught yourself as you said "Sawatdee Kr..." to the Vietnamese noodle maker. Difficult juggling all the languages in the region 👍😀👍+1.
Oh Definitely Brad. Really Chiang Mai 6 months a year is enough.
This place is almost unreal, like Disney World. Gorgeous!
yes little scary
Yep. Very interesting what’s going on there
Cool place, enjoy brother
I was there in March. It’s not just Sunset Town. I stayed in The Marina. It was also crazy cheap and on a beautiful beach. Same thing on the other end of the island at VinWorld.
Thanks for the video 😊
Appreciate you watching!!
Reminds me of Lake Las Vegas in Nevada after the financial crisis.... faux European look and completely empty. What makes a place vibrant, is not just clean streets and nice accommodation but the people! No fun drinking in an empty bar.
Second one that mentioned that one in Vegas. I’ve only been near the strip. I’d rather be on that deserted island 🏝️ than Vegas though
@@GreenyTravels to each their own. I am a people watcher - I need vibrant streets and a certain pulse of activity. You are a funny match for Pattaya! 😅
Holy crap!!! Unreal!!!
Great stuff Greeny!!
Thank you.
nice rooms
Awesome Greeny ! Keep up the great vids. I'll be in Thailand in a couple weeks looking to retire. Looking at condo's in Chiang Mai, Hua Hin. Jomtien because of some of your content. Now Phu Quoc 😂!
Be careful about Chiang Mai unless you're willing to leave for 3 months per year, during burning season.
Thx for the heads up Greeny! Yup been going there and Hua Hin. Thailand in general for years. Liking the direct flights from CM into Danang which is also on the list and direct to Hua Hin. I certainly won't be there during the burning season and that might encourage me to hit some of the islands as well. I'll be in Thailand in a couple weeks. I'll have a peek at Jomtien again. It's been years since I've been there. The new condo's that are going up look great. I know you bought there. I assume you're still happy? Renting maybe the wisest but I don't mind the idea of buying something myself. Great content Greeny. You're vids get better and better!
Chiang Mai great part of the year. I definitely wouldn’t do a year lease there
dont go its a shithole
incredible
Awesome Greeny. Iam going there I got to ✔️ ✅️ it out so cool 😎

Thanks Robert
Vietnam is an amazing place. A phenomenal hotel. I would love to visit this place and yes, I would stay at that hotel. A 1-year lease would be great, you could bounce back and forth between there and Thailand during the burning season and it wouldn't break the budget.
They did a nice simple job with decorating those units. I could imagine spending a year to write my story.
Peaceful
Thank you
Totally cool
Thank you!!
🤩Wow!🤩
Nice job dude!
I’ve been following you for a while even through your break up 😢
Retiring to Pattaya in September. Tell me why I should go to Vietnam instead thanks bud.
Ray
His Bargirl went Bad 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Enjoy. Definitely go everywhere you can afford
It makes me a bit angry when people continue to describe Asia as "cheap". Keep saying that and it won't be cheap next year. If an experience is "cheap" it infers something of low value or low quality. A better description would be "affordable " or "good value". Let's hope Asia continues to be a good value by describing the beauty, people, and value.
I’m aware. All interchangeable. Yours more specific and direct but not better for a thumbnail
Very informative vid Greeny! I just checked out the distance from the Roma hotel (area) to The Rabbit Hole (Irish pub) is a half hour ride… Q: would u have any idea of a Grab’ ride to & to and from? Cheers
Thank you!!
seems like a deserted place. if you like solitude and non-traditional commerce and good housing then it looks excellent. Good beaches and great views and activities. When I was younger it would be a paradise. Do you still have your cat? We have 3 cats so travel is rather limited. Thanks for the video and have a great day!
Yea. Cat here. Have lady in building that checks in on her when I’m gone
Nightlife there? Looks amazing... I'm gonna need the book Pho Quoc for Dummies. Thanks
Very little nightlife
Room #301 for under $400 would work just fine for me. Don't need an ocean view and the balcony looks big enough. Looks like it's probably quiet on that side.
ah ah ah SEA Suite cost Max 100$
I really appreciate how hard you are trying to promote phu quoc however let’s be honest and also address the other real issues plaguing the island. People are avoiding this place and choosing to go elsewhere because of the high airfares. Its no secret that there’s also a local and foreigner pricing in real estate prices especially rentals which is ok if you offer similar attractions and lifestyles to Da Nang & Nha Trang but being a well known ‘ghost town’ they really have to reconsider their foreigner pricing strategy. Though rentals remain high the country’s real estate is in trouble due to recent corruption scandals. Buying a property there is only advisable if you have unlimited resources and are willing to bear huge losses as there are hundreds of empty units in PQ. Don’t take my word for it and do your own research as this information is out there in other you tube channels and their local news. Btw those blue & green tiled rental units were known for not displaying the rental prices and then charging higher prices if they discover you’re a foreigner on FB.
Good info. I’m just promoting it because that where I was and I like it there. Long term island living I will probably choose Samui. Unfortunately that’s the most expensive domestic flight in Thailand
Nice vlog mate! Love it! Ima def make a trip over there this year for a lil r&r. Living Pattaya now.
Worth a few days or so
I gotta fly there a week from Thailand. Maybe July
Enjoy!!
Nice place as a getaway, although u need to take a short flight out of HTM, i prefer resort at Mui Ne, which is 2 hr ride out of HCM Saigon, no need take a flight
Mui Ne- Phan Thiet also very nice
Great video, this place looks absolutely incredible. How do you rent an apartment, did you do this once you were on the island or before and what was the process?
My friends were there and booked trough Roma Hotel in Sunset town. I put realtors number in the comments. He has a bunch too
@@GreenyTravels Thank you for the response and details.
You started greeting in Thai, but switched to English 😀
And your fridge still has transport🤣 tape inside
lol. I did that so many times there.
Looks like a nice visa run option while living in Thailand long term.
Yes. Would work out well
that was veryyyy informative!!! how would you get there? are there convenience stores nearby?
Yep. Storefront shop at the hotel
Its crazy how many TH-camrs from Thailand are going there. Chuck and Paige were literally just there and so was Geoffrey Perterson.
They didn’t go to phu Quoc though.
Looks fantastic what are the dinning out prices like?Thanks
Cheap in the town. Not too bad in Sunset town but a little inflated
"Hello, swadee ka.....hello" 😂
Krap!!! 😂
The Studio apartments are a pretty good deal.....Is there anything like internet and weekly maid service included in the rent? The larger apartments are very expensive for an Asian country especially one that speaks limited english
Yes. There are some on Air BNB
Can we apply for visa on arrival? and....like the rest of Vietnam I would assume the US$ is taken widely correct?
Visa free for 30 days. No fee. Not like the mainland. You can just show up
Greeny well done I have noticed more people are retiring now to Vietnam and even Cambodia than Thailand why ?
Cambodia’s retirement visa is considerably easier to obtain…(obviously dependant where ur from etc, easy research) Cheers
Very inexpensive those places. Still the most coming to Thailand.
Greeny starts talking to the Kung Fu Noodle chef: Ooohhhh, Sawadi-krap..and then lowers his voice when he realizes he's in Vietnam 😂😂😂. I thought it was an apt you're staying in but it's actually a hotel. Either way its very nice and cheap indeed! Enjoy it before it gets wwaayyy too crowded and the beach starts going downhill. The Vietnamese govt better not screw this gem up!
The hotel owns 2 of the apartments. They are in the process of buying 20 more
I don't know for sure as I have not looked too hard but isn't it impossible to get a retirement visa to VN now? Might be interesting to look into
I think they are looking at making one. That’s the rumor I was told. No clue really
Would you say the beach on the North East facing where the JW is, better then the beaches near the airport (where a lot of resort development is)?
All nice but yes. I think the Marriott one was the nicest
@@GreenyTravels I will put this on my short list.
Did you say you got a visa on arrival? How is that possible for Americans. I've been going to Vietnam for 17 years and always need a visa.
The exception is only for Phu Quoc. They are trying to increase tourism there. If you Google that there is more information about it
Where did you fly in to? How did you get to the condo? Did you rent a car or arrange a pickup? What were your transportation costs?
There is a newer international airport there. Like $8 to arrange a ride. Also there is grab and taxis. I rented a motorbike at the condo
Nha Trang beach town has nicer view apartments at lower price. Has much better local access to amenities like airport and hospitals. Did I mention that it's half price of Phu Quoc? Check it out.
Only downside it you need a visa. Can’t just do a last second trip. Other than that it sounds great. I’ve been to Danang once too. I’m gonna investigate those places more
You can't own a property in Vietnam as Singapore or Malaysia, you rent it for 49 years. This is best way to avoid speculation. The day you buy, the price starts falling to be 0 in 49 years.
True.
Nice apartments but not sure what to make of it. Not much to do in a ghost town. How many times you can stroll the same empty streets?
Very odd. Yes.
There appears to be some good nightlife 1/2 hr drive north…(Google maps/restaurants/bars etc)
Hey this is a “helpful” hint
It’s pronounced
“Foo wok”
I was there 18 years ago, man has it changed!
Oh and my wife is Vietnamese, that’s how I know the pronunciation!
Thanks your vids are awesome!!
We have a home outside of
Ho Chi Min
Am planning to avoid the elections here probably be back in August!!
Enjoy!
Nd that told me. Thank you. I had no clue
When I'm in PQ i'm going to stay there
Good deal now.
You know what vietnam has a lot of big project government and private sector not only in hanoi and saigon all the provinces in vietnam, this country 53% can speak english and actually of all south east asia vietnam most students going to abroad to study there and vietnam their poverty rate is less than 5% one of the lowest in the world.. if u compared thailand and vietnam development particularly their provinces vietnam provinces more development more modern than thailand provinces even indonesia provinces philippines provinces still vietnam has the edge.vietnam js beautiful
The younger generation there much more friendly
Was there last year, great people but my experience regarding English speaking Vietnamese would trend lower tham 53%…..perhaps 25% Cheers
Only draw back is its mostly very quiet there.
Layman terms....it's Boring.
Good for a short quiet getaway
With new Thai tax "interpretation" and immigration hassle, this is starting to look reasonable.
I’m waiting to see if this tax stuff actually ever really effects anyone
That town has the weird Disney Land/shopping mall vibe. Too new and too clean for me. That being said, I wouldn't mind staying there for a few days.
It’s a good value. You just rent a motorbike and head out anywhere on the island
You might want to add that Vietnam real estate is in free fall and Phu Quoc has the worst tourist season ever.
Cheers from 20 years in Vietnam.
Wow. Unfortunate but I’m happy to take advantage of the good deals
@@GreenyTravels Yes! Just don't get into any long term deals. And don't PRE-PAY anything. Other than that, enjoy the sun. Vietnam is a wonderful place...as long as you stay away from foreign based mass tourism. Have fun!
Can one, as a foreigner, buy units there?and if so, what's the price range?.tnx
50 year leases
Buying in vietnam very risky, some developers build on public land, govt has bulldozed buildings
Greeny speaking Thai in Vietnam..🤣🤣
File that under “Problems you like to have!” lol
lol. Yea. I did it too many times
Your like nice fireworks only 50$... i dont pay that in the states..lol.also those food street vendors...never once did tou show prices....western ones.. might as well go to florida
Fireworks anyone can see. That’s to sit in the pavilion and watch the laser show up close. Which I never did.
But can you actually stay 1 year in PQ?
I doubt it is possible in VN
Not yet.
Looks like a great place for a family, not for a single bloke 🤔
Yes. Take the date there cause you won’t find one as far as I can tell
Brian, 14 months out to retirement! Then on my way.
That’s it!! You gotta be getting pumped
I liked the prices more on the first 2 units , but I'm a tight arse 5555
lol. Can negotiate for sure
Millions of overnight accommodation, but 5 guests. The dying has begun!
Is there a red light district?
lol. All green. Good place to take a date not find one.
I could that place being great for a month or so to escape from burning season in thailand. I live in Chiang Mai and currently in Danang before starting a week long motorbike tour starting in Hanoi. Dont think i could live in that area with it being all planned out. I like a little more edge and natural cityscape for my taste. Definitely looking to visit Phu Quoc just to see the contrast from the local areas and the planned areas.
Lots of nature there. These developments a very small part of the island
Renting a condo under 30 days is illegal in Thailand and violates the hotel act. So, a person is risking being kicked out of the condo complex if they are reported.
This is Vietnam. Not Thailand
The rate of development in some areas of Vietnam is a bit concerning. I think Da Nang will be ruined in 10 years. It's still pretty good right now though.
I gotta get back to Danang
Damn that's expensive for a studio
The problem is Vietnam has no type of long term visa's
That could change. They need to at least for the island.
Người Việt kêu ca vé máy bay đến PQ quá đắt nên giảm số lượng khách nội địa khá lớn🎉❤
That definitely needs to be addressed. I’m in Hong Kong now. Flew HK express from Bangkok. Cheaper than flying to Phu Quoc. The will need something like that to get the people there
Looks like mini Vegas
NEXT TIME >>> ADD Info About INTERNET - ELECT & Water ??? Those Can ( WILL ) Make Or BREAK a LOCATION !!!!!!
Free there at the moment. May change soon
Internet in the Far East is cheap as chips & good
I wasn't impressed in your first visit , it seemed like another fake tofudrek Chinese investment like Forrest city in Malaysia or Hainan, but after further appreciation I think that it does look like they did a good job in the design and development, the construction looks of good quality, and if it stays as quiet or close to what is now in the next few years that is a great place to vacation or spend an entire season there, given that is real close to everywhere.
Yea. This development is nice. They dumped Salome bucks in it
They are so cheap because not many are interested in living there. I've been there 1 1/2 yrs ago and I wonder why this place is still so empty. My guess is that this will be completely abandoned in the futer, just like other Chinese "copytowns".
I hope not. They are still building like crazy
🇺🇸MEN - HAD ENOUGH ?!? 🛩️ Exit The 🇺🇸 🏍 🏌🏽♂️🏎 🚁🛥🍾 💃🏾💃🏾🕺🏽 🔵🎱🔵
Good advice
I just updated my contact until August 2025 so I won't be moving there but we will be visiting soon.
Might be too boring to live. Good for a few weeks
How much is dat tight pookie?
Too quiet . A ghost deserted place like Forest City in Malaysia .
Too isolated from everything . It is like a prison island .. lol
Some like it some don’t. I couldn’t live there but I enjoyed a quiet getaway sometimes
how much they are paying you for promoting
My property videos do pretty well. I get whatever TH-cam pays for the views. The agent gets some leads I get some view. Win win. That what I told him too when I went into the office
my Dr in Australia said the Vietnamese will pay you 100,000 AUD to marry one of the ladies in Vietnam and take to your country. ... $66,000 US
Interesting 🤨
BS 😖😖😖
All too expensive for Phu Quock
😂 stop it!!!
I'm sure the second apartment isn't "9 or 10,000 dong a month - that's 0.36 euro / 0.39 USD. Maybe you meant 10 million dong???
lol. Yep. You are right. M. Probably got mixed up with Baht
I went to Phu Quoc not so long ago and it was the worst vacation of my life. Trash everywhere including the beaches, construction noise and just overall misery. Food was not good even at the best hotels which were overpriced. It was just awful. Not sure why he likes this place but I can assure you most people will hate it. Even Vietnamese no longer go there because it's overpriced and quality is not up to par. Viets are traveling to Thailand more and more and avoiding their own country. Research it if you doubt me.
Again. Appreciate your opinion. Sorry you had a bad experience Sammy
Shhh. Lets try to keep it a secret. Let's not let Westerns ruin it and drive up the price. LOL
😂. Shhh.
Not for me 😂 it looks unreal
Views love this style for some reason
This is what I called Beautiful Disaster. It’s over supplied and it’s a failed real estate development.
I hope it turns around.
It’s dead that’s why!
SMH!
It is sad that thousands of American men died there, never making it home to start their lives.....for what???? Nothing!!! They could be there as retirees enjoying life with the Vietnamese people.
True.
True, but there have been plenty of vets that returned to the Far East (as early as 1980) and subsequently Vietnam when it was possible...
yawn
