About this audio guide
This guide to Hin Ta Hin Yai on Koh Samui follows the Thai legend behind the island's two best-known rocks, a granite pair on Lamai Beach shaped like a man and a woman. It traces the story to an elderly couple, Ta Kreng and Yai Riem, and the sea crossing they made on their son's behalf. You'll hear where they were sailing from and why, and what the storm off this coast left behind. Run a hand over the granite while you listen; it has weathered here far longer than the tale itself.
