Thailand: Koh Samui Grandfather and Grandmother rock

At the south end of Lamai beach are some rock formations that are standard, if a bit sophomoric, stops on any tour of Samui. The ‘Grandfather Rock’ and ‘Grandmother Rock’ have been shaped over millions of years by wind and water to resemble human sex organs. A short narrow alley lined with souvenir stalls leads from the main road to the rocks. You actually end up on Grandmother’s belly, where a crevice has been worn into the rock to form granny’s legs. The Grandfather Rock, a penis shaped pillar, is about 25 metres to the south.

It is a bit complicated to locate these rocks as there is a payparking area which is next to the ring road, and to get to the rocks from there it takes about 10 minutes to walk there. Do not en up like me and do not take the rope ladder down because it takes you to a small hippy resort 🙂 There is actually a decent path to get there.
