At the pinnacle of the Asili Tree, 25 metres above ground, Kuni Kuni—Khao Yai’s latest

Culinary destination—invites guests to a unique treehouse dining experience with panoramic views of the rolling landscape.

Kuni, translated from Swahili, means firewood, and this lies at the heart of the restaurant’s mouthwatering concept: a casual and fun approach to barbecue that blends Eastern and Western influences, with an emphasis on fresh, natural ingredients for extra flavor and flair.

CULINARY HIGHLIGHTS

The seasonally rotating menu is crafted from the finest ingredients sourced directly from local farms and Asili’s own organic garden. Diners can enjoy an array of farm-to-table meats and freshly caught seafood, each prepared to order in the open kitchen through steaming, smoking, or grilling—infusing every dish with vibrant flavours that celebrate the natural bounty of the region.

KUNI KUNI SIGNATURE DRINKS

Refresh and unwind with our signature drinks, crafted to complement the breathtaking treetop setting. Unique, vibrant, and perfectly balanced, each sip enhances your dining experience at Kuni Kuni.
