Coconut Tree Prison (Nha Lao Cay Dua Prison)
One of Phu Quoc historical sites which is still partially in use today
is Coconut Tree Prison located about 5kms north of An Thoi Town.
The prison was built by the French colonial administration before World War II and was later used by the Americans during the Vietnam War to house tens of thousands of prisoners, in its heyday covered an area of over 40 hectares housing an estimated peak of 40,000 VC prisons during the Vietnam War. Across the road from the prison there is a large commemorative monument, with plans to build a decent museum, to replace the small shed that currently exists there (open Tues - Sun 7.30am to 11am & 1.30pm to 5pm).
