Khlong Son Bay (Aow Khlong
Son) is located at the north-east end of
Koh 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 Khlong
Son Bay - Koh Chang Noi in the northwest and Koh
Mapring in the southwest. |
 |
 |
This is popular with
the fishermen as a port, since it is quite well
protected against the violent winds during monsoon.
The village Baan Khlong 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
Khlong Son (temple) and a school, there is
also a clinic in the village (Tel. 09/888 02 41,
opening-hours: 8.30 am - 4.30 pm). It is situated
400 metres off the village intersection towards
the bay.
Approximately 4 kilometres southeast the Nam Yom
Waterfall is situated.
(See 'Sights', 'Waterfalls'.) |
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 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. |
