Thailand Unveils Luxury Tree Pod Dining and Villa Experiences
It’s 4 p.m. and the sun’s heat is beginning to fade as our family of four steps into a large bamboo basket beneath the jungle canopy and buckles our seat belts.
Staff hit a switch and our “pod,” attached to a series of wires, rises slowly through the trees, views of the Gulf of Thailand emerging in front of us as we ascend 60 feet into the sky.
A loud whiz then cuts through the air as our waiter flies in via zipline, carrying a selection of bottled drinks in a basket.
Back and forth between the pod and the nearby kitchen he zips, delivering a gorgeous selection of sandwiches, salads and desserts to our large table.
Less than an hour later the tree pod is lowered and, stuffed full, we question how we’re going to make it to dinner in two hours.
