Hin Ta Hin Yai - Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks

Hire a jeep or motorbike and explore the surrounding area of Lamai as there are plenty of interesting attractions to see. Ko Samui's most popular tourist sites are in this locality so if you're getting bored swimming all day, try some exploring around the area instead.

Between Lamai and Hua Thanon lies two famous rock formations: Hin Ta and Hin Yai also known as Grandpa and Grandma rocks. These formations look like the male and female genitalia, respectively.

What makes these rocks even more strange is that they are close to each other, giving way to a legend explaining how they came to be.

Near Hin Ta and Hin Yai is a small beach. It is not for swimming but it gives you time to cool your feet. Small souvenir shops sell clothes, postcards, drinks and snacks including the local sweet "galamae". Parking is convenient and viewing these popular formations are free.

 
The Rocks are not that amazing like it sounds but it is well visited and the view is amazing! I also have an Koh Samui Mostwanted insider tip for You, near the Grandfather Rock is a small hammock Bar build from wood. There you can relax and enjoy the view!

Samui Mostwanted recommendation!
