Overlap Stone
Overlap Stone is a huge cobblestone on a cliff that is located in the mountains nearly Lamai Beach. The natural attraction is a observing platform with a view of the southeast of Samui.
Things to see
According to the legend of the tourist legend, a stone looks like the head of an elephant, although another traveler can consider the comparison as exaggerated one, it all depends on the imagination. On the right of the stone there is a small ledge where you can see the areas of Hua Tanon and Lamai. Coral reefs are visible in the bay.
Things to do
Not everyone succeeds in finding the stone the first time. There is an aura of the Bermuda Triangle around him and those who dare to look for a view point can feel himself like Indiana Jones. Experienced pathfinder recommend moving south from the Lamai and turn right into the depths of the jungle not reaching the Red Temple about 100 meters. There is a false sign, and the travelers who travel from Nathon confuse because of it. Better to go from the side of Lamai and focus on the Red Temple, there is the correct sign.
To find a turn is half the battle. The climb to the stone is steep, and you have to be prepared that at one point the bike and even the car will have to be left. You need to walk about fifty meters and then private territory will begin, where the seedy shack of a Thai family stands. To get to the suspension bridge leading to the Overlapping Stone, tourists need to cross the veranda with scattered toys and hanging clothes. This is the end of the quest and the gaze of the traveler appears a giant cobblestone. Entrance is free, but before the start of the bridge there is a box with the inscription "donate 20 baht per person."
