The passion from start to finish was outstanding, thank you Lat for such a wonderful day. Such a fun, professional and very well set up experience. The class has so much attention to detail, from the work stations/equipment to the hygiene/cleanliness - perfection! I really was pleasantly surprised as it exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend booking this class and paying that little bit more for the proper organic real Thai cooking experience. We didn't want to leave!!! Lat and her husband seem wonderful people and have worked so hard to create a hidden gem here, well worth visiting the farm!

We booked a full day Khao Sok Lake safari, airport transfers, and later a Phuket DIY tour. The communication was smooth, the vans were clean, the guides were professional. I really loved the great service of this company, and absolutely recommend choosing them! During our private Khao Sok trip we had the chance for several extra stops, we got nice lunch and our guide talked a lot about the everyday life of local people. So it was not only about the boat trip in the lake, but much more.

Had a great experience with amazing guides and staffes. Do not expect too far about having breakfast and lunch. I had a best Snorkeling in my life. Shouldve worn fins. Riding a speed boat was kinda scary when you leave, however, you are going to see yourself sleepzing in the boat when youre coming back.
