Why go

Vietnam's island in the Gulf of Thailand is the country's fish-sauce capital, and everything downstream benefits: bún quậy noodles you season yourself, herring salad rolled at your table and night-market seafood priced by the basket. The Dinh Cau night market in Dương Đông is the main event — pick your fish from the tank and name your cooking style. November to March brings dry weather and flat, swimmable seas.
