Cabbages & Condoms restuarant was one of the most interesting places I visited in Bangkok. I am sure some would have already heard of this famous restuarant before on our TV and I can tell you that this place is a real eye opener. It's located at a pretty seluded spot (@ Sukhumvit Soi 12) and a Cabbages & Condoms restuarant signboard hung up high at tall building nearby its area helped us to locate the place. The taxi driver dropped us off at the main road and asked us to turn into the soi ourselves. The road leading to the restuarant looked more like a dark dangerous alley. There's barely any light there and we even saw some Korean restaurants there.

When we reached Cabbages & Condoms, we met into a group of Singaporean guys (easily recognised in their singlets and surfboard pants) at the entrance trying to take pictures. Then we walked along a covered walkway that leads to the main door of the restaurant. There's also a souvenir shop on the left side of the main door.


Cabbages & Condoms restaurant. They have other branches and even a resort in other states of Thailand such as Chiangrai, Buriram. Not only a place to dine and learn about condoms, it's also a place to do some charity. These restaurants were set up to promote better understanding of family planning and to generate income to support their activities at their local Population and Community Development Association. Some of their proceeds also went to the Tsunami victims.
