We had a wonderful, informative and fun time at Lat and Cam's property. Touring the farm was incredibly interesting and the cooking portion of the day involved some brilliant, delicious meals. I'd definitely recommend this experience to friends and family.

This was an amazing experience and a must do if you’re visiting Samui. It honestly was the highlight of my Thailand trip - the level of information on how the organic garden works was so fascinating, and the meals we cooked were so tasty. I’ve never made my own curry paste or coconut cream before, and I have to say it is 110% better than store bought! Lat was an amazing hostess, and her husband Cam was also full of knowledge and info. I’m so excited that I now have a copy of such a yummy papaya salad to take home, it’s my mum’s favourite food so I’ll have to cook it for her. Thank you for the wonderful visit and cooking class.Matthew_Z

We had a great experience with Island Organics. They organised for us to have a hotel pickup. We were warmly greeted by Lat who then gave us a tour of their little farm and explained how they feed and grow their produce. We were very lucky to have just the two of us in the group. We started by collecting some of the ingredients, we learned how to make coconut milk, coconut cream and coconut oil as well as how to cook the dishes on our menu which were spring rolls, yellow curry, chicken skewers with Penang source and wing bean salad. We were able to add as much spice as suited us. There was so much food and they offered to let us take it with us. As we wouldn’t be able to reheat it we said they could keep it for their family but instead they give it to other families in need. We so admired Lat and Cameron’s hard work, in particular Lat who had to learn English and learnt so much about farming from YouTube. They are both such lovely people who are happy to share their knowledge. It was a great day out that I would definitely recommend. Thank you LatJoanne_A

We visited Island Organics in February 2022 when on a longer trip in Thailand. It was an absolute amazing experience! Given COVID19 there were not a lot of tourists in Samui when we were there, so we got lucky and had the cooking class for ourselves (4 persons). We started off by visiting the garden and aquaponics systems. Super interesting, and being keen gardeners ourselves, this added a lot to the experience. We helped prepare a welcome tonic and had the chance to ask a lot of questions in general. For the cooking itself, we had asked in advance if we could cook some authentic Thai dishes. They were very open to this and we ended up cooking nam prik kapi, kaeng tai pla, gaeng som and som tom. And wow wow wow. This was spectacular! Fantastic food and super instructions all they way! During the dinner, we also got a chance to meet the rest of the family. It was amazing to get a really personal experience and feel really welcomed. This cant come with better recommendation. Everything from the place to the food and the very open atmosphere from Cam, Lat and the girls, just made this a highlight of our trip. Thanks!
