Kaeng Chang Mob

Kaeng Chang Mob is a camping site along the Mekong River featuring natural rapids interspersed with rock formations. Located in Ban Huai Yang, Khemarat District, 100 kilometers from Ubon Ratchathani city center, this scenic location offers camping opportunities both on the riverbank and on an island in the middle of the Mekong River. Access to the island requires a boat crossing at 100 baht per person. The site is best visited during the dry season, particularly in February when water levels are ideal. The crystal-clear water flows through natural rock formations, while ancient trees grow on the islands. Visitors can enjoy sunset views, white-water rafting during summer, and kayaking activities. The name Chang Mob derives from local legend about an elephant that once died on the rocks, leaving skeletal remains. The area showcases nature's artistry with uniquely shaped rocks and flowing patterns created by the river current. Campers must bring all food, water, and supplies as no facilities are available on-site.
