Grandma and Grandpa Rocks
Grandma and Grandpa Rocks submitted by KaiHofmann : Natural grandpa rock at Koh Samui (Vote or comment on this photo)
Natural Rock formations in Thailand. Two legendery rocks at Koh Samui island known as Hin Ta and Hin Yai Rocks (the Grandpa and Grandma rocks), which look, respectively, like male and female genitalia.

The beachside rocks, located between Lamai and Hua Thanon, raise indulgent chuckles or embarrassed titters from those who go to see them. Even stranger, they are close to one another, giving rise to a convenient legend explaining how they came into being. More at AsiaWeb
