# Bird Nest Restaurants Tree Pod Dining Gives you High Style Dinner with a Birds-Eye View By Allison Love | Published 2010-06-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tree-pod-dining References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/31322/) & [sixsenses](http://www.sixsenses.com/Soneva-Kiri/index.php) A Thai resort that has tree pod dining is certainly a crazy idea for a restaurant. The resort has created a pod that fits in a tree and overlooks the [resort and surrounding area](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mandai-rainforest-resort). The pod looks like a [birds nest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-roost) or clam contraption sitting on the side of a very high looking tree. The tree pod dining clam can fit up to four people and you can only access the very isolated perch from a zip line. I just feel badly for the poor resort staff who have to serve that restaurant! What if you're afraid of heights? Having said that, I would love to try out that restaurant, but they should probably hold the alcohol. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Tree Pod Dining:** Embracing the concept of dining in treetop pods offers a unique and immersive experience for customers. - **Extreme Dining:** Pushing the boundaries of traditional dining settings by offering unconventional and thrilling eating environments. - **Sustainable Luxury Dining:** Combining eco-friendly practices with luxurious dining experiences in order to attract environmentally-conscious consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality and Tourism:** The hospitality industry can explore the concept of tree pod dining as a way to differentiate themselves and provide memorable experiences for their customers. - **Adventure Tourism:** Adventure tourism companies can capitalize on the trend of extreme dining by offering unique eating experiences in unconventional locations. - **Sustainable Living:** Companies in the sustainable living industry can create eco-friendly dining alternatives that combine luxury and environmental consciousness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tree-Nestled Bar Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stalk-treehugger.md) - [Cartoonish Tubular Treehouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tubular-treehouse.md) - [Nature-Immersive Tranquil Resorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treehouse-villas.md) - [Hot Air Balloon Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/culiair-skydining.md) - [Prefab Timber Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-nests-treepod-project.md) - [Tranquil Suspended Hanging Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ardh-architect.md) - [Elevated Treetop Modern Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buitenverblijf-nest.md) - [Riviera-Inspired Dining Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-air-balloon-dining.md) - [Modern Rounded Treehouse Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burl-treehouse.md)
