About this experience

Camel Riding in Klong Son is a guided camel trek along the beach and through coastal scrubland on Koh Yao Yai, a quiet island in Phang Nga Bay. The activity starts at a small farm near Klong Son village, where riders mount and follow a handler on a 30-minute loop. It offers a slow-paced way to see the island's west coast from a different vantage point.

See the Andaman Sea, limestone karsts, and local fishing boats from the camel's height during the loop.
