above photo - round smooth stones found in ao hin nam
The small pebble cove of Ao Hin Nam lies between maehaad and Chaloklum and is only accessible down a long flight of stairs that are built into the cliff face that ascends down from the viewpoint at the top. It is forbidden to take any rocks from this beach as they are considered special by the local people and bad luck will fall upon those who do, as local legend states.
