Cabbages & Condoms - Sukhumit Soi 12, Bangkok

Dining out doesn't have to be an average experience especially when you're traveling. There are actually numerous amazing theme restaurants across the world that will blow your mind. Bangkok, is no exception. "Our Food is Guaranteed Not to Cause Pregnancy", well-crafted tagline to boost your awareness for birth control. Cabbages & Condoms,  two most unrelated things are simply put together in the naming of a restaurant in Bangkok. Yes, here you are a condom-themed-restaurant!



Cabbages & Condoms is conveniently situated in narrow and dark street away from the busy Sukhumit soi 12. The restaurant is conceptualised to increase a better understanding and acceptance of family planning issues. The sales of the restaurant is also contributed to a fund to support various development activities of the Population and Community Development Association (PDA). Upon entering the restaurant, you will be immediately greeted by Mr. Santa Condom.



This unique themed restaurant never cease to amaze, it features a casual atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating as well as a charming bar. The restaurant is set in a relatively huge courtyard  surrounded by blooms, trees and bushes. It is also filled with fairy lights around the garden.





You will be impressed by various mannequins clothed in different condoms costumes at every corner throughout the whole restaurant. The restaurant creates the creative energy to HIV or AIDS prevention. Take a look at this eye-catching bride and groom with wedding clothing made entirely out of colorful condoms and contraceptive pills! It's definitely one of the most bizarre wedding costumes!



These hot summer days, you definitely need to pair out with the beach-themed dress made out of condoms which gives an outstanding character to its decorations. Even the accessories such as necklace and bracelet are made out of condoms. Over here, you definitely go gaga with latex condoms in assorted fantasy colors.


Lack of contraceptive-inspired housewares in your living room? They even have playful lamps that are made from natural rubber latex.From posters to lamps, they are making full use of fancy colorful condoms to decorate every corner of the restaurant.


Here, they offer a wide range of Thai food ranging from appetizer, soup, main courses up to desserts. The restaurant prepares most of their dishes with a less spicy flavor in order to cater both local and foreign markets. Mixed Vegetables was freshly cooked and Sweet and Sour Sauce Deep-Fried Tofu has a crunchy crispy skin.



One of my favorite dishes goes to this Thai Steamed Sea Bass with Lemon Sauce. It's a dish of  softly steaming joy with aromatic flavors and appetizing dressing made out of lemon grass, hot chilies, garlic and lime sauce.


Besides, they also have a little souvenir shop selling funky handicrafts made by Thai villagers from rural areas. They are mostly condom-associated stuffs. 


Upon leaving, each of you will be given a condom and a packet of water based lubricant as souvenirs. One is not enough? No worries, they also provide more funny condoms on this counter display with "different sizes".


Don't miss out this alternative themed restaurants when you're in the Bangkok City. Cabbages & Condoms definitely offers a memorable and unique experience at really reasonable prices. Truly one of the most bizarre themed restaurant!
