1. Birds Nest Restaurant, Soneva Kiri Resort, Thailand
If you have ever wondered what a bird sees when it is resting in its nest you are in luck! That's because at the Soneva Kiri Resort in Thailand, you can not only climb into a nest that is suspended 16ft. above the ground, but also, have a gourmet meal. Its a nest-aurant! Since these nests/dining pods are designed to be so far up in the air, an acrobatic server visits your table to take your order and delivers your food by flying through the air via zip line. You need a refill on your drink? No problem, your server will just fly through the trees attached to a cable, land on the little landing strip around your nest and fill up your glass. Each nest is basically a huge wicker basket with leather straps, secured and bolted to the tree. The menu consists of traditional Thai as well fresh fish caught from the bay that lies across the nest. Of course, this kind of view and server theatrics do not come cheap - a typical dinner for two will set back the diners about 14,000 baht ($448 USD). But then again, where else will you get to experience what being inside a bird's nest feels like?
