History of Khem Beach
Bai Khem was historically a secluded beach in southern Phu Quoc used by local fishing communities and was relatively isolated due to limited road access. In the 2010s it was developed as part of the southern Phu Quoc tourism development, with large-scale resort projects transforming it into a major resort beach while preserving its natural white sand bay.
