Klong Son Bay (Aow Khlong Son)
or Khlong Son Bay, is located at the north-east end of Ko
Chang. It is approximately 1.5 kilometres wide, at the southern
part scarcely 2 kilometres long and at the northern section
easily 3 kilometres.
Two small islands are located at each end of Klong Son Bay
- Ko Chang Noi in the northwest and Ko Mapring in the southwest. |

There are 2 beaches
in Klong Son Bay, the long Chang
Noi Beach that extends over the whole
bay and the small Halfmoon
Beach that faces the mainland. In the
north the the two beaches
are close together.
In the south a river splits the Chang
Noi Beach into two parts.
At low tide the sea draws far back as at almost all other
beaches on Ko Chang.

The Klong
Son Bay is popular with the fishermen
as a port, since it is quite well protected against the violent
winds during monsoon.
The village Baan Klong Son is
sprawled across a large area.
The original section, located directly on the bay, is partly
built on stakes in the sea and is mainly inhabited by fishermen.
The newer part of the village is situated by the road and
many houses are built along the river and into the southeast
valley. Beside Wat Klong Son (temple)
and a school, there is also a clinic in the village. It is
situated 400 metres off the village intersection towards the
bay. |

 |
|
There are also small shops, some restaurants
and an air-conditioned supermarket located in the village.
Approximately 4 kilometres southeast the Nam
Yom Waterfall is situated.
(See 'What
to do on Ko Chang?', 'Waterfalls
on Ko Chang'). Arrival
& Departure: Baan
Khlong Son can be reached from the piers
in approximately 15 minutes by taxi for 30 Baht. |

 |
If you have advanced bookings you should
tell the taxi driver the name of the bungalow
resort or the hotel,
otherwise you can get the driver to stop anywhere you want
by knocking on the car-body.
The departure times of the taxis to Dan-Kao-Pier are subject
to seasonal change, so check in advance.
Because all taxis that operate on the west coast must pass
Baan Khlong Son
on their way to the piers, you shouldn´t have to wait
for a long time at the road. As long as there is space available,
the drivers will gladly stop to pick you up. Accommodation
is available in the village and around the bay. |
| We want to draw your
attention to a real estate
project at Klong Son Bay. On a beautiful
big seaside area you have the possibility to purchase bungalows,
villas and property. |

As Ko
Chang
is often booked out we recommend you book your hotel
in advance to avoid dissapointment. |
