Overview
Overview
Elephant Rock is a large natural rock formation on Koh Samui’s east coast, positioned along the ring road between Chaweng and Lamai. The attraction is simple: a huge weathered rock formation, rocky coastal scenery, and views over the Gulf of Thailand.
There is also a short uphill route to a viewpoint in the area, although visitors sometimes confuse the roadside rock location with the separate access point for the viewpoint trail.

What to expect
What to expect
Expect a quick natural sightseeing stop rather than a large attraction. The main feature is the huge rock formation and coastal scenery, with an optional short uphill route nearby for wider sea views. Parking and access can be a little unclear, so check the map carefully before arriving.
SamuiDeals Tip
Morning or late afternoon gives better light and cooler weather. Be careful near the main road, and check the correct access point if you want the uphill viewpoint rather than only the roadside rock.
