Inspired by the banyan tree, a symbol of peace and serenity, the resort offers its latest culinary creation in an enchanting location that allows you to disconnect from the world below.

Afternoon Tea in the Sky at Banyan Tree Krabi
What makes this new experience truly one-of-a-kind is its setting. Guests are invited to enjoy their tea perched high above the resort in one of the resort’s renowned “Bird’s Nest” tables—three whimsical, suspended nests nestled among the lush trees with spectacular views of the Andaman Sea and Krabi’s verdant coastline.

These Bird’s Nest tables, which have been a favorite among visitors since the resort’s opening in 2020, offer one of the most striking and Instagram-worthy dining experiences in Thailand. Sitting up to four people, the nests offer unobstructed panoramic views of Tubkaek Beach, framed by the verdant canopy of tropical foliage. Whether it’s the blue sea stretching out before you or the jungle’s symphony of sounds surrounding you, these tables have quickly become an essential feature of Banyan Tree Krabi’s allure.
Conveniently located just steps away from the resort’s signature Thai restaurant, Saffron, and easily accessible via a ride on an electric funicular, the Bird’s Nest tables offer a secluded yet elevated ambiance that is ideal for both romantic getaways and intimate celebrations.

An Exquisite Selection of Teas and Bites at Banyan Tree Krabi
The newly introduced afternoon tea menu at Banyan Tree Krabi is a feast for the senses, thoughtfully designed to pair with the serene setting. The resort offers a selection of three exquisite porcelain crockery sets: the Citrus Charm Collection, Sapphire Sips Collection, and Birdsong & Blossom Bliss Collection. Each set is thoughtfully designed, with options in either Chinoiserie or Classical porcelain patterns, setting the stage for an elegant tea experience.
The selection of teas is provided by the Dilmah Ceylon Tea Company, offering a variety of options to suit all palates. Guests can indulge in time-honored favorites such as English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Sencha Green Tea, Jasmine Green Tea, Peppermint, and Chamomile. Whether you’re in the mood for a refreshing green tea or a calming chamomile, the selection is designed to complement the light yet flavorful bites that accompany your tea.
The finger foods served on a three-tiered “birdcage” curate are a true highlight. The House-Smoked Salmon and Black King Fish Wrapped in Betel Leaves, complemented by local herb salad, roasted chili, cashew nuts, crispy fried shallots, and roasted-rice tamarind dressing, is a refreshing, flavorful delight. Another stand-out is the Truffle-Braised Wagyu Beef, offering the perfect balance of richness and umami.

For those with a sweet tooth, the Mango Sticky Rice Mousse Cake provides a delightful twist on the iconic Thai dessert, while the Homemade Scones are not to be missed. The resort’s scones are some of the finest you’ll find anywhere, with creative takes like the Sesame Puff Filled with Pandan Custard and the tangy Sweet-Sour Lychee in Orange-Flavored Syrup. Both are sure to leave a lasting impression, making the journey to Krabi worth it for the scones alone.
The Perfect Setting for Special Occasions
The new afternoon tea experience is available for two sittings daily: 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm and 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm.
