## Visit Hin Ta and Hin Yai Rocks

Activities

---

---

#### Learn the story behind the grandmother and grandfather rocks, shaped like body parts, near the fishing village of Hua Thanon on Koh Samui.

Although to some they seem carved by fate, or as a humorous joke, these rocks nicknamed grandfather (Hin Ta) and grandmother (Hin Yai) have actually been shaped by nature into forms that resemble male and female genitalia.

These genitalia-shaped rocks standing close together are not just good for a giggle at the expense of nature, but also give an insight into Thai myths and legends too.

As with all attractions in Thailand, there are plenty of salespeople at this site to enchant you with their wares. After you leave the stalls hawking everything from souvenirs to food and drink, appreciate the astounding coincidence that made such unusually shaped and well-placed rocks.

There is a legend about how these came to be, which no one should leave without learning. It tells the story of an older couple, Ta Kang and Yai Riam, who decided it was time for their son to wed. They set off together in a boat from Nakhon Si Thammarat to arrange a marriage with a girl from Prachuap Khiri Khan province. However, as they travelled a storm came up and wrecked them. Their bodies washed up on the coast, only to be transformed into the male and female genitalia-shaped rocks that forever spell out their intention for their son.

If geological jokes are not your scene, enjoy a fresh coconut juice from one of the stalls and go for a walk along the beautiful, boulder-strewn beach, or jump in for a cooling swim. Grab a postcard or two from the stalls on your way out.

8.2/10 Very Good! (331 reviews)

Pleasant staff and clean rooms. Although blinds in the room not very efficient as it feels anyone can see through when lights are on. Need a few more choices of food on half board basis. Need a few more sunbeds around the pool.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,000 reviews)

We spent 5 days here Beautiful gardens and lovely pool. We spent most of the time on the beach as there was a lovely breeze Really liked the gardens, Beach and the beach bar Thanks to Num and Oh in the Shine spa onsite for lovely massages. The Spa has a really nice vibe to it We didnt use the gym but it looked to be well maintained. The hotel front is on a busy road so it can get noisy at times if you have a room fronting on to it but the rooms themselves are comfortable and very clean. The staff are very helpful and friendly whether in front of house or in the beach club Food was lovely. Amazing choice at Breakfast buffet. A short beach walk to fishermans village if you want something different in the evening. The hotel fronts directly on to the lovely beach there is no road to cross to access.
