Coconut Tree Prison - Phu Quoc, Vietnam

Coconut Prison is a gloomy attraction of the island, frightening with its cruelty. The prison appeared during the French colonization of Vietnam, during the war with the Americans the prison got a second life - more than 40,000 Vietnamese prisoners of war were kept here. Currently, here you can see the remains of barracks, torture chambers, a museum that contains photographs, personal belongings of convicts. This place is a must visit if you want to understand why Vietnamese society is still so hostile to the American invasion of their territory. Coconut prison is truly creepy: rows of barbed wire, barracks like matchboxes, guards on towers and guards with dogs, decide for yourself whether it is worth going here, especially with children. Coconut Prison is located in the southern part of the island near the town of An Thoi. Opening hours: 7:30 - 11:00 and 13:30 - 17:00 Entrance: less than $1. #createwithtrip
