Lofty Tree Pod Dining at the Soneva Kiri Resort Thailand

If picnicking <em>under</em> a tree seems a little been there, done that to you, why not give picnicking <em>atop</em> a tree a try? At the <a href="http://www.sixsenses.com/soneva-kiri/">Soneva Kiri Eco Resort</a> in Thailand, guests have the option to dine in a lofty woven Tree Pod perched 16 feet off the ground. And as if that wasn't already cool enough, all of the food and beverages arrive courtesy of a flying waiter via a zip line! Click through the gallery to see photos of all of the treetop dining options and the other luxurious green amenities at the Soneva Kiri.

Another tree top dining pod gives guests the option to dine in the shade.

Soneva Kiri is comprised of 42 resort villas and 21 spectacular private residences that sit on 150 acres of lush tropical rainforest and beaches.

In addition to being absolutely gorgeous, the resort prides itself on its environmentally conscious practices.

The Eco Villa is lined with recycled cellulose and has a lush green roof.

Many of the structures are made of local materials by local craftspeople.

A closer look at the Dining Pod. The structure is engineered with a rigid frame swathed in woven rattan, and has an open panorama window for spectacular views of the beach.

Rooms open up right onto the beach.

All of the rooms are airy and open to the elements.
