Overview
Overview
Hin Ta and Hin Yai, also known as Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks, are unusual natural rock formations on Koh Samui’s southeast coast near Lamai. They became one of the island’s best-known landmarks because of their distinctive shapes and the local legend connected to them.
The rocky coastline also offers open sea views and plenty of photo spots. Small local stalls selling drinks, snacks, souvenirs, and coconut products can be found around the entrance area.

What to expect
What to expect
Expect a short walk through local stalls before reaching the rocky coastline. The main attraction is the unusual Grandfather and Grandmother rock formations, with open sea views and several places to stop for photos. Take care when walking or climbing on wet or uneven rocks.
SamuiDeals Tip
Wear shoes with good grip because parts of the rocks can be uneven or slippery. Morning or late afternoon is more comfortable, and lower tide can make the coastal formations easier to see.
