Churches in Klong Son is a guided tour of the historic Christian places of worship located in the village of Klong Son on Koh Yao Yai, Thailand. The tour covers three active church buildings, including the oldest wooden chapel dating from 1928, and explains the local Muslim-Christian community's shared history.
