Grandfather Rock is located near the Koh Samui area of Thailand.
Koh Samui is a really popular area for travellers to visit and chill out and do sod all. A lot of people end up retiring there because of the relaxed lifestyle.
It’s also famous for the Full Moon Party that occurs every time a Full Moon occurs at the nearby island of Ko Pha Ngan.
When the Full Moon occurs, an all night rave is held on the beach and people get drunk and fall down and do all sorts of embarrassing things.
But there is another less well known attraction near Koh Samui – Grandfather Rock.
Check out this Suggestive Profile Picture of Grandfather Rock.
It looks like something else, that rhymes with Rock.
Enough said!
Other things you can do in Thailand – go on a dodgy Elephant Ride.

So now you know about Grandfather Rock!

Elephant Rides. Some of us may have tried this when visiting South East Asia. It’s a popular activity for travellers to undertake. However, if you do try this, make sure that you stay away from the potentially amorous pachyderms.
I’ve thought about this exact predicament when travelling on camels in the Sahara Desert in Morocco – that is, what if I’m on a female camel, and there is a male camel behind me raging full of testosterone? Think about it. If he’s seeing my female’s camel’s backside in front of him for a few hours, it could drive him a bit crazy. I would want to make sure that he’s had his fun for the day before the ride started.
However, this bizarre situation is obviously a strong possibility.
Here is a photo sent to me via email this week of an Elephant Ride somewhere – I burst out laughing when I first saw this. And I’ve covered up the offending bits.
Had I received this photo earlier, this Elephant Ride would have made my list of 52 Perfect Offbeat Travel Tips.
Anyway, take note of this photo the next time you go for an Elephant Ride.
Obviously, this photo is a tad more risqué than Elephant Rides for Children at Regent’s Park Zoo: The Passengers Mount by Ladder Giclee Poster Print.
