Hinta

Hinta / Hinyai [in English grandfather rock / grandmother rock] is the number-one attraction for Thai, Japanese and Chinese visitors. The grandfather rock, Hinta, looks so obscene that one feels inclined to believe a hilarious, jocular sculptor must have created it. The locals insist that nature set up the rock in its particular way. Many Asian visitors believe a kind of pilgrimage to the site will improve fertility.
