You can dine among fireflies, in this quirky and very different restaurant. It is made from converted shipping containers and contains modern and raw decor mainly from wood and steel. Hidden away, you will most likely have to ask your taxi driver to call them in order to locate their entrance.

Mimicking the life cycle of a Firefly it will only be open for 18 months (and it opened in February 2018). The inside is very dark with glass windows looking out onto the enclosed eco systems full of fireflies. Staff are extremely knowledgeable about the fireflies and told us some very interesting facts relating to mating and breeding.

Food is a 5 course fine dining set menu of traditional Thai dishes with a twist. The menu will change every few months between fire, water, earth and wind so do check in advance before visiting. The food was delicious, and something we have never had before. There was also a great selection of cocktails and wine.

Unfortunately it is impossible to capture the fireflies on a camera phone, but despite the lack of social media worthy photos, we really would recommend visiting.
