Where is Rach Vem<\/strong>? It’s in Ganh Dau commune, in the north of Phu Quoc, about 25 km (around 40 minutes) <\/strong>north of Duong Dong town.<\/p>\nWhy the name “Rach Vem”?<\/strong> The name comes from the local word for the green mussels (v\u1eb9m) that cling to the rocks and bamboo stakes in the area’s brackish streams \u2014 a feature that once helped locals tell this spot apart from others.<\/p>\n<\/span>Where is Rach Vem?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
