Things to note when coming to Diep Son

At the end of his review, Khoa summarizes a few notes so that those who go the next time have a more satisfying and memorable trip. The best time to come to Diep Son is from January to April, right now. 

When going to the bathroom or going to the toilet in people’s homes, they should send them some money because freshwater here has to be bought from the mainland. If you want to go to the toilet at the campsite, you should go at 3, 4 am because there are no people at that time.

The scene on the island is very beautiful but at noon will be very sunny, everyone, especially the girls should pay attention to this.
