Get Your Rocks Off on Samui

[mjshroomer]

The Island's large rock formations on the beaches and around the Island consist of million-year-old Limestone and granite visual experiences.

This first is one of twowater falls on the Island.

This is the Na Muang Water Fall.



Then we have the world famous Grandfather Rock:



And a close up of the Rock



And directly behind me from Grandfather Rock is Grandmother Rock. After the rain, water gushes out of you know where.



And finally this is a large rock on Highway 4169 between Lamai and Cheeang beaches and villages.

Great pics, I think the natural occurances of lingams and yonis are really interesting, I imagine people have been visiting those grandparent rocks for thousands of years.

From the Internet:

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.

Despite the silliness that the stones induce, the spot is actually rather beautiful, with turquoise waters in pools among the rocks.

An inviting pool near the rocks.


Naturally, the rocks are a fertility symbol for many Asians, and said to be the origin of the 'Mui' peoples.

The souvenir shops lining the alley leading to the rocks are generally nothing special.

The 'Mui' people referred to above are now calle 'Chao Samui' or in English, 'Samui Folk.'

Very friendly people.

Its the Bangkok Thais who disturb the balance and flow of natural energy on the Island, and some rude German and Australian Tourists.

Not all Australian or German TOurists are rude, but they tend to stand out as big rude Beer guzzlers who mouth off to Thai girls and motorcycle taxi drivers.
