Photo by iantehphotography / The sea glows as phosphorescent waves surge toward the Vietnamese island of Phú Quốc, off the coast of Cambodia in the Gulf of Thailand. Bioluminescent plankton shimmers in the water like tiny, suspended stars. When I first visited the island, with its white sand beaches and resorts, it was undergoing significant development for the tourist industry. But half of the island remains part of Phú Quốc National Park, an area of mountains, dense tropical jungle, hiking trails, and wildlife.
