In Bueng Kan province in the northeast of Thailand, there is a tourist attraction that visitors should not miss: the Three Whale Rocks, also known as Hin Sam Wan in Thai. The reason it is called the Three Whale Rocks is because when viewed from above, these three rocks look like three giant whales majestically protruding from the mountain.
