The extravagant cocktail contains a 5.02 carat heart shaped Ruby, served in an award winning hand blown martini glass.

The cocktail price includes a 6 course gala dinner for two and an overnight stay in the hotels deluxe suite, which includes a Dom Perignon Champagne breakfast in bed.

Well done Mr Sanjog, it must have taken you a good half a minute to come up with such a great idea,

[Payboy]

does anyone really want to be seen at the amari atrium? it's only a cheap hangout for package tourists carrying 7 eleven bags.

Why do you want to take a cheap shot at people on this forum that you do not know. You are worse than cheap. your an idiot.

Instead of having the worlds biggest,most expensive,largest or most ridiculous of anything they should better focus on be the worlds most foreigner friendly country.

Disgustingly Vapid!

[KireB]

Thailand the hub of decadence!

[DirkGently]

Is there a discount for taking it home in a plastic bag on the bars of my bike?

540,000. Well really.

In the minds of the elite, it is a way of bringing quality tourists to Thailand. Their deluded minds can sit back and watch as the ruby money goes to Holland (or some other gem stone controlling country). The Martini money goes to California and the fine crystal money goes to France (or wherever) and the staff get a small tip.

Idiots.

They wish to turn away backpackers that place money into the hands of small Thai hotels/taxis/tour guides etc, in favour of big money spent in foreign owned places. I would like to know how much of the recent 'mega meal' landed in the hands of the average Thai.

OK, I'm clueless about gems and jewelry. What is the street value for a "5.02 carat heart shaped Ruby"?

[Laulen]

Acting to a Thai stereotype ??

"Amazing Thailand" is not dead, yet!

[Tony Clifton]

Tie Mr. Sanjog Modgil to a chair for 24 hours and drop him where they had a fire in Klong Toei for 24 hours, reality check.

Nice research, G! My kind of town (Chicago is). Sing it, Frank!

I've been waiting for Mr Man to tell me we are off to the Amari tonight. It would appear to have been in vain, he is playing golf after work. Looks like I'm going to have to make do with my Chang as usual.......................
