Hin Ta Hin Yai

Those exploring Koh Samui will come across some truly unique natural rock formations, none more so however than Hin Ta Hin Yai, which is otherwise known as Grandfather & Grandmother Rocks. Before embarking on a journey to this most fascinating site, look to find accommodation at a Samui hotel that also lets you experience the very best the island has to offer. One such option is Anantara Bophut Koh Samui which is a luxurious Samui resort that can be found along pristine Bophut Beach.

Located on the island’s South Coast, near Lamai, Hin Ta Hin Yai are two distinctive rock formations that provide a truly enthralling sight. What is sure to make for a one of a kind holiday photograph, the Grandfather & Grandmother Rocks are connected to local folktales one of which suggest that these rocks are in actual fact transformed bodies of a couple called Yai Riam and Ta Kang. The rocks are well worth a visit when travelling across the island and have to be seen to be believed!
