Hin Ta and Hi Yai Rocks, are some fascinating rock formations on Koh Samui’s south coast and have been a source of mirth and wonder on the island since they were discovered by locals many years ago. Art often imitates nature, but less common is nature imitating Art, especially the art of the Ribald. Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort and Spa is a very unique Koh Samui Resort. This hotel is also located within close proximity to the Koh Samui Island. This hotel has over 106 luxury rooms and suites. Enjoy the many water sports that are offered by the hotel and the incredible infinity pool. There are specially developed spa packages to suit each and every guest. Anantara Bophut Koh Samui offers guests luxury comforts coupled with world renowned hospitality. Guests can also enjoy authentic fiery Thai cuisines and handmade Italian pasta.
The Hin Ta and Hin Yai Rocks are known as Grandpa (Hin Ta) and Grandman (Hin Ya) are found near the traditional fishing village of Hua Thanon and in the surrounding area there is a lush landscape of plantations and buffalo fields, offering a brief glimpse of how life might have been on Saumi before the rise of tourism. Many souvenirs plus drinks and snacks are for sale, including the must try Thai sweet called ”galamae”.
These rocks look respectively like male and female genitalia. This unusual and titillating sight has naturally given rise to a legend explaining how the rocks came into being. The views from this rock, are spectacular, stretching across the sea to nearby islands, close to Hin Ta and Hin Yai. There is also a small white sandy beach next to Hin Ta and Hin Yai Rocks, which is not suitable for swimming. But this is an ideal place to relax, unwind and dip your feet in the cooling waters after a day of island exploration. The water is quite pristine, so marine life can often be seen from the surface.
