On the Kwai in Kanchanaburi, whole restaurants — and hotels — float on bamboo-and-drum rafts moored to the bank. You eat river fish over the water, the current tugging gently beneath your feet, and can slip straight in for a swim.

The Grotto (Cave Dining at Railay)

Treepod Dining at Soneva Kiri

On a remote island, you climb into a woven bamboo pod shaped like a weaver bird's nest and are hoisted metres up into the rainforest canopy — while a waiter delivers each course by zip-lining through the trees.
