A large natural rock formation on Koh Samui's east coast between Chaweng and Lamai, weathered into a shape resembling an elephant. Accessible from the ring road (Route 4169 near Laem Nan) with a car park and a short walk to the viewing spot. No entry fee. The rock is a popular photography stop — best in morning or late afternoon light. Not a major attraction in itself but worth combining with the drive between Chaweng and Lamai or a visit to the nearby Lad Koh viewpoint.
