“Bizarrely shaped rocks are a symbol of Koh Samui, along with Lamai Beach views, the Ta Kreng – Yai Riam love legend, and the famous Samui Kalae.”

Hin Ta Hin Yai Rocks are a significant landmark resulting from a natural phenomenon. The massive granite rocks have been eroded by sunlight, wind, and seawater into shapes resembling male and female genitalia.

  • Hin Ta: A towering rock pointing to the sky.
  • Hin Yai: A large rock by the water, facing the ocean waves.

This area is filled with a local legend about an elderly couple, Ta Kreng and Yai Riam, who sailed to propose to a daughter but encountered a storm that wrecked their boat. They prayed to have their bodies transformed into a symbol of their promise, becoming the Hin Ta and Hin Yai rocks.

This area is also a beautiful sunrise and sunset viewpoint. Along the walkway, there are souvenir shops selling items such as batik fabrics, coconut handicrafts, and the Samui Kalae, a sweet and rich coconut candy that is a must-try.
