Hin Ta and Hin Yai

Some fascinating rock formationson Koh Samui’s south coast,have been a source of mirth and wonder on the island since they were discovered by the localsmany years ago . Art often imitatesNature, but less common is Natureimitating Art, especially the Art of the Ribald . But in Thailand anythingis possible and these rocks, known as Grandpa (Ta ) and Grandma (Yai), look, respectively, like male andfemale genitalia. Set on the rocky coastline between Lamai and Hua Thanon, Hin Ta and Hin Yai raise indulgent chuckles or embarrassed titters from those who go to see them . This unusual and titillating sight has, naturally, given rise to a legend explaining how the rocks came into being.
