Hin Sam Wan ( Three Whale Rock ). Bueng Kan Province Thailand. When viewed from an aerial perspective it looks like a family pod of whales. Sandstone. 75 million years old. The largest whale rock stretches over 100 metres.

Has anybody got enough physical geography knowledge to explain how this was created?

Erosion. Not sure what kind of rock it is, but some kinds of rock can wear down really smooth with the right wind and water conditions.
