Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks

My girlfriend and I recently visited the Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks in Koh Samui, and we had a great time. The rocks are located on the east coast of the island, and they are known for their unusual shapes, which resemble male and female which is why the Thai call them the grandfather and grandmother rocks (cause of course rocks are super old and has always been there!) I was a little hesitant to visit the rocks at first, but I'm glad I did. They are actually quite beautiful, and they are a popular tourist destination. There is a small shrine located near the rocks, and there are also a few souvenir shops selling trinkets and souvenirs which I highly recommend looking at! Please, you must especially try the local desert/snack there called Kalamea! You won’t be able to find it again and I promise you will love it. I would recommend visiting the Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks if you are in Koh Samui. They are a unique and interesting sight, and they are sure to make you laugh. Here are some tips for your visit: Be respectful of the rocks and the shrine. Bring water and sunscreen (there is no shade) Wear proper shoes to walk on the rocks I hope this helps and I hope you have a great time visiting the Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks if you ever get the chance! #rocks #view #localfood

Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks (Hin Ta Hin Yai)

Samui is my all time favorite island 🏝️ the first stop for me must be Lamai, the first destination on this scooter tour are the two famous rocks Hin Ta and Hin Yai. I have been there like 6 times and I do enjoyed the sights and the vibe around. short story about Hin ta Hin yai : A very nice outcropping of rocks which lend themselves to use as a trail & photo visit to this Southern portion from Bophut took about 30 min. Well worth it. Lovely selection of stalls selling foods & souvenirs. and another that I really felt in love with is the rock bar next to Hin ta Hin yai it’s a relaxing bar built in the rocks to the left of the famous Hin ta Hin yai in Koh Samui. The bar is built from driftwood and recycled materials from the ocean. The decorations are based around the reggae theme. It has a small private beach. The bar has regular live music for the reggae scene that is very unique. The views are spectacular for the many different levels that the bar is built on. A fabulous bar to relax and chill. 😍🤩🏝️#samui #rockbar #summervacation #beachlife #staycation
