Samui Scenery Video - Hin Ta Hin Yai
Hin Ta Hin Yai, respectively meaning Grandfather Rock and Grandmother Rock are probably the most photographed natural wonders of Koh Samui. Naturally shaped by the elements of water and wind, both rocks resemble the male and female genitalia. Without a doubt your holiday photos will bring up some interesting conversations back home amongst your friends and family.
The myth tells that a local old couple got shipwrecked in the bay where both their bodies washed ashore and created these uniquely shaped rocks.
Located just a few kilometers north of X2 Resort Samui, the stones are one of the most famous tourist attractions on the island and during the weekend a popular place for the Thai locals to visit and relax.
There are plenty of nice little souvenir and gift shops, especially if you look for original hand crafted products made of Samui's coconut palm wood. Another typical Samui product you will find here is garamear, a coconut candy which consist of coconut, palm sugar and sticky rice.
And if you are not ready to leave yet, have a drink and some food in one of the small stalls, sit back and simply enjoy the tranquil scenery with a great ocean view.
