"Soneva Kiri provides a serene jungle escape. To get there, the hotel can arrange a 90-minute flight from Bangkok to its private airstrip. Each of the 32 villas has its own butler and golf cart; there’s also a popular “treepod dining” option, where you eat in a nestlike bamboo pod and food is delivered via zipline." - Jeninne Lee-St. John
"Soneva Kiri is a Three Key hotel located in Trat, Thailand. It offers luxurious accommodations and services, making it one of the top-rated seaside resorts in Thailand." - The MICHELIN Guide
"To reach Soneva Kiri, you’re flown in the resort’s private plane to its private airstrip, then taken to the resort via speedboat, then driven to your bungalow in an eco-buggy. Despite the dramatic arrival, where the resort sets itself apart is with common spaces like the dining pods; perched in the trees like nests, they give diners a bird’s-eye view of white sands and sunsets." - Mark Fedeli

"Soneva Kiri Resort’s Treepod Dining experience elevates fine dining in more ways than one. Four diners share a bamboo pod that is gently hoisted high into the branches of a century-old massang tree, giving them views of the sea." - Ann Abel
