Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Quite fun finding my way up, only for our car to be stopped half way on a steep hill because it could not go further... So, we had to detour and find a spot to park down the hill then make our way up by walking. Fortunate, myself and companion had runners brought anyway for such scenario, so walking up to the viewpoint was no difficulty- in fact, an exercise that we needed.. Arrived up there with small thb20 entrance fee, and the view was all worth it, especially the fact that we were the only group up there early in the morning. Would've been a spectacular sight to catch the sunrise if we made it earlier.. Still, the weather was great and the view was spectacular. We could see the red clay temple below and mainland visibly from up there. Very photogenic spot and viewpoint.

So glad we went! A bit hard to find. Thank you to the other Trip Advisor reviews we knew what to expect. Can ride your scooter up the massive hill, and give the man THB 20 for parking. Walk up 300m (quite a steep hill) and you’ll see another carpark for cars then head down to the area next to the carpark and look for the “Do Not Enter / Private” sign with barbed wire fence. That’s the entrance! There’s a tiny path to the left of the fence that you can walk to get to the other side of the fence. Follow the dirt path up a little more to another “Closed” sign and pay the lady THB 50 per person entrance fee.
We went at 11 am so it wasn’t too crowded. Everyone gave each other alone time on the bridge and for pictures. Stunning view and al glad we found it. My husband who’s uncomfortable with heights did not like walking on the bridge and standing on the rock’s edge. It is a little scary as there’s no railing once you get out to the rock.
View is worth it though!
Wear comfortable walking shoes.

Overlap Stone 1 is very touristy and you are "lured in" on your scooter at the entrance/road by a man or woman with hectic arm movements. Afterwards you have to pay 200 baht per person as "entrance".
Tip: Drive past the entrance to Overlap Stone 1 and follow the road and the handwritten signs to the Overlap Stone 2 car park. It is very steep uphill in places, but it is not far and it is definitely worth it! You can either park at the sign with two directions. There are two paths to the top, the shorter one of 200m on the right, the longer one of 600m on the left. We chose the slightly longer one and walked for about 10 minutes. The route is tarred, but very steep uphill. But it is all completely doable. When we got to the top we saw that you could even have driven to the very top of the stone on the scooter. At the top you have a fantastic view. It is much less touristy than the Overlap Stone 1, and you only pay 20 baht "entrance" per person. A man also sells drinks at the top. So we strongly recommend choosing the place further up!

Don't get ripped off. Before you get to the correct parking area, that should cost 20 baht, there is a parking area with shop who will charge you 200 baht to then walk a hell of a long way, to then have to pay 50 baht again to see the stone. We never got to the stone as the steepness of the roads scared my wife. Others we were in the car park with, did then carry on to the 'correct' parking. I don't mind paying a small fee to both park and to visit private site, but this lower park, that calls itself overlap stone park 2, is a blatant ripoff. Be warned folks.

For us the best Koh Samui experience. We walked all the way up,which is doable if you go early morning.
At point 1 you pay 100 baht and get a free drink, there is another 50 baht at the summit of Stone 1. You get 3 mins of stone to yourself to take the obligatory pics, which is plenty of time. There is a Stone 2 another 200 metres of non flip flop wearing jungle terrain to climb but for us an absolute must. The lovely little man there will charge you 20 baht to clamber over a bamboo bridge to reach the best view ever. Don't rely on him for a photo as he forgets to press the right button, or it maybe that we asked him whilst he was eating a banana.
Overall an experience never to be forgotten....do it !

For one of the best advantage view points in Koh Samui you have to check out the OverLap stone. Amazing rock feature with views over the island and ocean. Small entrance fee to get in and be prepared for a step incline when walking/driving to the location

I read a lot of comments that the entry is 20 bat, that the new prices are 200 per person. However, the view is amazing but it’s not worth to pay 200 for 15 or 20 minutes. If we don’t, was it the area, they have to lower the entry price. We are deciding how much we will pay.

We arrived at the car park where we passed 3 signs which all stated 20baht per person entry fee. When we parked at the top, we were advised it was now 200 baht per person. We are a family of 4 with 2 young children. When we asked how much it would be for our 9 year old, they just advised that she must pay the adult price. 800 baht in total. We didn't pay or go to the very top as we had been to many other view points which looked similar and couldn't justify the cost.

We were very disappointed. We went up on foot and at the beginning there was a sign saying 20 Bat for the overlap stone per person. But once we got to the top we suddenly had to pay 200 Bat per person. The ticket seller said it was for the parking lot. We said we walked and that it was unfair if we now had to pay 200. But she said it does not matter all have to pay the same price. In our opinion this is a rip off for tourists!! Then we enjoyed the view a little below the stone.

The access road is extremely steep and the day we went there a torrent of water was rushing down it. Bring a Scooter of at least 150cc to access the parking lot. From the parking lot you can see the rock very well (see photo) Entrance costs 200 bath per person, it's extremely expensive just to be in the immediate vicinity of the rock... We decided to enjoy the equally beautiful view from the parking lot .
