 | Bangkok Cabbages and Condoms Reviews | 1 - 10 of 46 |  |
This original and charming restaurant, in the Sukhumvit (east) area, is managed by the Population & Community Development Association of Thailand. The restaurant incomes help fund population control, AIDS awareness, and a host of rural development programs. That's why such a strange name.
You enter the restaurant via a tropical garden, in which there are outdoor tables. When I went it was raining, so I went in, which is nice and charm too.
It was cheap (2 USD first dishes, 3 USD mains) and tasty, a great experience!

Nope, this is not a sleazy restaurant. =P
As i quote from them, Cabbages & Condoms is a "Restaurant with A Mission" and i would say, a noble mission....to spread the message of Safe Sex.
This restaurant has such a romantic setting...fairylights...good food...followed by free condoms, what more can you ask for???
The menu is pretty extensive and creative, my personal favourite is the spicy condom salad and the thai green curry with rice. If you prefer something else, no worries, burgers and fries and spaghetti are definitely on the menu.
It's a 20 minutes walk from Asok BTS Train station, by the time i reached, i was perspiring all over, not romantic at all. =(
Thus take a cab to this place.
Oh yes, pls make a reservation before you go. It's crowded on weekends!!! With a good mix of locals and tourist.
You may ask your hotel to make a reservation for you. Usually they will have the number. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Sukhumit Soi 12Phone: 2229-4610Directions: 15 - 20 mins walk from Asok BTS Train Station.

They have recently remodeled the main eating area to accommodate more people on two floors and the open air "garden" eating area has been cleaned up. I prefer the air conditioned comfort inside.
The restaurant is decorated with various posters about condoms around the world and there is a gift shop where you can buy condoms and condom based novelties. Please note there is nothing seedy about the place, but if you want to avoid any awkward questions from children maybe you should avoid eating here.
They usually serve red rice which is much tastier than the usual white variety (available on request). The Thai beef salad (Yam Nua) is one of my favourites. Remember Thai salads are spicy and this is no exception!

Well. Its all about creating safe sex awareness. Its pretty good idea, its started since back those days, Bangkok well known for sex trade, and the message is to get to local and 'farang' while enjoying authentic thai food.

The Cabbages and Codomns Restaurant is a large complex based on two floors including outdoor sitting on the ground floor. The theme for the Restaurant is food and condoms you will see quite a few 'tartan' looking 'mock' condoms dotted around the restaurant - very tastefully decorated. The restaurant has a lot of fans around and some of them including a misting function to keep the temperature cooler and a little more moist.
The food was of an excellent standard both the Thai and the Non Thai - We took along a Thai friend, who later boasted about the restaurant all the time (although on this visit I had non Thai)
The place is very clean, the staff are very helpfull and the food is really good.
On one of the evenings that I was there - there was a lovely Music and Arts student playing traditional Thai music - a GREEEEEEEAT touch - she was very good
Throw some of your change into one of the many wishing wells and make a wish - if that doesn't come true, at least you would have helped out on of the local charities supported by the restaurant.
(The restaurant was originally founded by the Minister of Family Planning / Health - in order to promote safe sex - Hence Cabbages & Condoms)
I must confess - I was there and for all my good intentions of eating Thai - I read New Zealand Lamb in a Sweet Curry with potato and I am so glad that I did, it was great. The meat fell apart and it was just perfect - have to go back and try the Thai food :( Theme: OtherPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: 10 Sukhumvit Soi 12Phone: (02) 2294610Directions: Sukhumvit Soi 12 BTS Nana and walk 15 minutes or taxi from your hotel About 500 metres along the soi, on the left.

Cabbages and Condoms, Bangkok - a great resturants geared toward the tourists. Good food, pretty atmosphere, great outside seating, under twinkle lights in the trees and next to a beautiful Wall O' Fountain. The theme behind this resturant is all the proceeds go toward AIDS education/prevention/treatment in this city so dependent on the sex trade. FYI, prostitution is prevelant in Thaland and an honest days labor. Which, for me was a little hard to take, not because of the women but the western men there to partake. However with the lack of opportunity, especially for women, in Thailand its a good living.
Pad Thai (I know not very daring, but excellent!)

This should be a stop on all visitors to Bangkok. This restaurant was set up by a revolutionary Thai person. He decided to give out condoms to anyone to help cut down the spread of the AIDS virus. He will hang out on Bangkok's busiest roads and hand out condoms to passersby. Proceeds from the restaurant and hotel (pattaya) go to environment, education and aids charities. Leave a Comment

We visited this restaurant in the evening and were pleasantly surprised to find it a high class restaurant set in gardens with alfresco seating and an upstairs inside eating verandah area which overlooked the garden. We were lucky we reserved the upstairs undercover area for our group of 18 as there was a 10 minute rain shower.
The restaurant offered a wide selection of local and international meals,everyone enjoyed their meal and prices were reasonable. They also had 2 wines on special, both were good Australian wines at very reasonable prices, approx AU$5 per large glass.
The restaurant is famous for its condom theme, which is displayed at the restaurant entrance, there are many quaint displays incorporating condoms as the main theme. The restaurant profits go to improving the health of the underprivledged and this has existed for the last 20 years. There is a shop on site where you can make purchases.
This restaurant is well worth a visit and there is nothing vulgar on display.

The only restauarnt I've been to where you are given a condom with your bill. Profits from the restaurant go to the Population and Community Development Association which aims at educating people in the benfits of safe sex and birth control.
The food here was very good on my first visit and at a reasonable price(can't remember exactly how much) and the service impeccable. No rubbery taste to any of the food unless you think the condom is an after dinner mint.
On my second visit I thought the food was a bit boring - definitely nothing special. However the general atmosphere was still very nice
You have a choice of either sitting outside in the gardens or inside. However beware of sitting too close to the ornamental ponds and fountains as in the evenings they attract some biting insects. I found the best place to sit was upstairs, which is undercover in case it rains and if you have a seat around the edge you get a nice view of the diners below. Leave a Comment

This restaurant was built to promote family planning and AIDS prevention. They are very open about the theme of their restaurant and their food is guaranteed not to cause pregnancy. When the bill comes, instead of giving you mints they give you condoms. What Fun?? The atomsphere is very relaxed, we ate dinner outside with fountains, fans and lots of tropical plants. The service was great and the prices reasonable. They also have a give shop with Thai handicrafts and Cabbages and Condom T-shirts.
Any of the Thai food, we also had banana splits and mangos with sticky rice for dessert, which were heavenly. The mangos are seasonal, I think between March and July.
