    What an amazing experience! Went with our two daughters and learned so much. Their k college around hydroponics and aquaponics is amazing. Toured the garden, had butter pea flower tea with the herbs from the garden, made 4 delicious dishes PLUS our own coconut milk. A warm day, but they kept us cool, engaged, and leaving very full!

    This was a fantastic day. Chef Lat and her staff were amazing so well organised. The food we cooked was delicious and the instruction very good. The organic gardens were beautiful , amazing fresh produce. The hydroponics and aquaponics were fascinating and cleverly designed. A great day one not to miss.
    The best cooking class
    Jasmine_L, Feb 2024
    This was a wonderful experience. Cam and Lat have created such a beautiful and efficient organic garden. The work they’ve put into their land is outstanding. We learned so much about Thai produce and cooking. The cooking class itself was easy to follow, very informative, and enjoyable. Lat is a great teacher! We leaned so much more than we thought we would. Highly recommended.
    Lovely chef Lat,...

    Food amazing, cooking well organized. Dishes were amazing and we got to learn the basics of Thai food. We toured the organic farm and Lat’s love of gardening and cooking shines through in all she’s done at her cooking school in the country.
    Must try

    What a truly amazing experience! This really was a day to never forget. Chef Lat was so full of energy and enthusiasm and how much she cares about the farm and what she does is very clear. The setup is amazing, the experience and flow of the day was perfect and the food we made absolutely delicious! Also huge thanks to Cam for messaging before and arranging a pick up and drop off to and from our hotel as this made everything really easy. All in all, a must do if you love Thai Food on your visit to Koh Samui!

    The greatest family traveling experience of our lives !
    JackieV_V, Dec 2023
    I have travelled a lot in my 58 years and had many great experiences . In the last 5 years or so my young adult children and I have done amazing Airbandb and ViAtor experiences from cooking in Florence to baking in Paris to sailing in the Greek Isles to an epic food tour in the historic Amsterdam food market to name a few. But nothing has compared to this farm tour and cooking class . It was one of the greatest things we have ever done together as a family, much less traveling together . The owner /farmer/teacher/cheerleader (whose name I forget !) , is absolutely brilliant and passionate about organic farming . She and her husband created this farm from a patch of land , cleared it herself and build up an organic ecosystem from the ground up through trial and error . It is not only beautiful but impeccably organized and marked with love and often humor . She is not only a brilliant biodynamic farmer but a world class teacher . Every stage is described in detail, including experiential learning through picking and smelling and tasting . It was as fun as it was informative . The cooking class was equally progressional , fun and informative . Every step is broken down into minute detail so that all can follow along . Her staff anticipates every need. The equipment and small wares are so well organized that it was a small marvel. There is so much more to say but I will just say that if you are interested in farming , food systems, cooking and spices , it is worth going to Koh Samoi just to take this class/farm your . We are ever grateful for the experience that we will cherish for many years to come . And cook with the spices we bought , much of which are grown on the land !
    Funniest class we had ever
    WingTung_C, Dec 2023
    It was interesting in learning all the ingredients we’ve used from the farm, chef and her team were professional. Our family enjoyed the class very much!
    Must do!
    Louie_V, Dec 2023
    We couldn’t have been more impressed with our experience with Island Organics Thai Cooking Class. Morning transportation was punctual and safe. The class started with her explaining where all of the ingredients come from because they grow them right there in the gardens on their land. Chef Lat, who was our instructor and owner of the business, was funny, kind, knowledgeable, and really encouraged questions if anyone had any. The class was incredibly clean organized we had unlimited help from others. We got to work together and get to know each other people in the cooking class and a fun way. They truly went above and beyond. After the class, I accidentally forgot my water bottle and they called immediately and said that they would deliver it to our hotel for us just out of the kindness of their hearts. I could not recommend this experience with Chef Lat, Cam, and their team more when visiting Samui! Thank you!!
    Response from Host, Dec 2023
    Wow, amazing review and so pleased you both had a great day out with chef Lat and the girls and it was our pleasure to return your water bottle. Thanks also the the detailed review of your day at Island Organics and welcome back on another Samui vacation. All the best over the festive season ahead.
    Do not miss this experience
    Andrew_B, Nov 2023
    A truly awesome experience. The walk through the garden was excellent and learning the backstory to how it all came together really helped us appreciate the day. I love cooking Thai food and what I gained from today was more about technique that has really improved the quality of my cooking.
    Response from Host, Dec 2023
    Pleasure was ours and thanks so much for joining the class and so pleased you enjoyed the experience and improved your cookery skills. Welcome back again soon.
    Excellent
    Oleg_M, Nov 2023

    Easy to book, would do it again. Fun.
    Fiona_H, Nov 2023
    Fabulous experience, delicious food, fun. Definitely a highlight of my trip with my sister. I would recommend organising the transport with them as it is hidden away.
