Samui's cheekiest landmark — a cluster of rocks on the Lamai shore weathered into unmistakably rude shapes, hence the names Grandfather (Hin Ta) and Grandmother (Hin Yai). It's a nice bit of coast too: waves channelling through the boulders, a paved path down, and a gauntlet of stalls selling the island's famous coconut toffee on the way. Free, quick, good fun, and busy with tour groups midday.
