Lebua at State tower hotel, Bangkok
Riverside 1055/111 Silom Road Bangrak, Bangkok, Thailand |

The Lebua is no stranger to publicity, controversy, or Michelin chefs. Last year it offered what was billed as a feast of a lifetime, a decadent 10 course meal prepared by 6, Three-Star Michelin chefs specially flown in for the occasion, with each course paired with a vintage wine. That meal cost USD25,000 a head.
Since news of the proposed dinner and tour has gotten out, a huge controversy has erupted, especially in France, with the backlash in that country forcing the three chefs who had originally signed on for the project- at USD8000 each for one nights work- to back out.
The organizers stress that their intentions were good- drawing attention to poverty so close to where millions of people spend luxury holidays each year- and that while dining on their luxurious feast, the guests, which include casino owners, bankers and other such business elite, would be asked to help pay for a hospital, a school and other infrastructure for the impoverished village.
Organizers have apologized for any misunderstanding the event planned for April 5th may have caused, but insist that the dinner will go ahead as planned.
Despite it's lofty plans and the fact that the super-rich business elite who could afford to finance a village choose to stay at this hotel, you can stay at this hotel for less than USD150 a night.
