Also called Grandfather and Grandmother Rock and one of Koh Samui's most famous attractions. A bizarre rock formation reminiscent of a female and a male genitalia. According to legend, an old couple was shipwrecked here and turned to stone. Hin Ta and Hin Yai are popular destinations, especially among local tourists who believe visiting the rocks increases fertility. 😊

Interesting rock formation at the southern end of Lamai Beach. One of the main attractions of the island. Before you get to the rocks, you have to make your way through a labyrinth of souvenir stands.

The Hin Ta and Hin Yai rocks, also known as the Grandfather and Grandmother rocks, are iconic natural formations on Koh Samui, located at the southern end of Lamai Beach. These unusually shaped granite rocks are famous for their striking resemblance to the male and female genitalia. They have gained widespread notoriety not only for their shape but also for the legends and myths associated with them.

According to one legend, Hin Ta and Hin Yai were an elderly couple who set out on an arduous journey to help their son get married. However, their boat capsized and they died at sea. Their bodies became the rocks that can still be seen today to symbolize their sincerity and love.

These natural landmarks attract many visitors who come to photograph the rocks and enjoy the stunning sea views. There are souvenir stalls and small shops around the rocks selling local specialties such as coconut candy. The surrounding area also offers a picturesque coastal landscape, ideal for exploring and relaxing walks.
