About this audio guide
This guide to Lamai Beach on Koh Samui centers on Hin Ta and Hin Yai, the two granite boulders at its southern tip, and the two competing explanations for how they took their shape. You'll hear the local legend of an elderly couple, Ta Kreng and Yai Riem, said to have drowned off this coast, and meet the fertility offerings still left at the rocks today. The guide also traces what the granite itself can tell about how this coastline was actually shaped.
