PQ, the biggest island of Viet Nam , lies 65 nautical miles off-shore South-West of the country contiguous with the Gulf of Thailand .
PQ still keeps about its original charms with 99 mountains and hills covered in green primitive forests, with majestic waterfalls and babbling streams, fresh see breezes and attractive sandy beachs winding along the shore washed by a clear blue sea. At night, the island seems to extend farther into the sea where hundreds of lamps are lighted for fishing and squid-angling on the fishermen's boats floating up and down on the waves.
