CON PHUNG ISLAND, MEKONG DELTA, VIETNAM : The Con Phung Island (Phoenix Island) is part of Ben Tre Province and is across the Mekong River from My Tho. This island used to be a commune for the "Coconut Monk" (Ong Dao Dua). It is an island with lots of natural canals, Vietnamese cottage industries, snake farm, coconuts and water palms. In this island I was able to go and peek inside the Vietnamese homes, tasted coconut candies and drink tea made from honey bees. Please not that some pictures are not that sharp because I am taking it from a moving boat. Where in the world is CON PHUNG, VIETNAM?
