Cabbages & Condoms – Bangkok, Thailand - Gastro Obscura

"Eccentric theme restaurants dot the Asian landscape, focusing on everything from cats to toilets to robots, but only Bangkok’s Cabbages & Condoms brings an obsession with prophylactics to the table. Founded by politician and family planning activist Mechai Viravaidya (who is also known by the nickname “Mr. Condom”) the large restaurant was opened next to one of the few family planning clinics in Bangkok that offers abortions for the impoverished women in the community. While pregnancy termination is allowed by law in the city, it is often thought to be illegal and contraceptive measures, in general, are often seen as taboo, thus Viravaidya started his restaurant with the intention of raising understanding and acceptance of birth control (as well as to serve food). This devotion to the titular form of protection can be seen in the ubiquitous condoms decorating almost every corner of the eatery. From the small gift area near the entrance featuring informational pamphlets on family planning and a visual guide to varieties of condoms to mannequins covered in dresses made of prophylactics and studded by birth control pills, diners are surrounded on all sides by rubber reminders of safe sex. Lampshades, wall decorations, and even Christmas tree trimmings are constructed out of the proverbial raincoats, giving guests no place to rest their eyes that doesn’t have some playful new use for the protective device. Then at the end of the meal, diners are given their own condom in lieu of dinner mints. While the almost cartoonishly overblown presentation of condoms in the restaurant seems silly, the purpose is to make the otherwise taboo item more mundane and less exotic, and the gambit seems to be working. Along with a number of other initiatives begun by Viravaidya, Cabbages & Condoms has contributed to a staggering decrease in children being born to Bangkok families. In addition, the restaurant itself has become so successful that the brand has been expanded to include a hotel and franchise locations reaching as far as the United Kingdom.

Worth a visit as not only is it a "all for the 'gram" restaurant, they have a story behind the creation. The founder believes that “birth control should be as accessible and as easy to buy as vegetables in the market!” The restaurant uses jokes and fun visuals to overcome reluctance to discuss issues such as sex, family planning, and HIV/AIDS. The food is delicious and despite being busy, service is prompt. It's a little pricey compared to other restaurants in the area however it's tasty and was worth it. Staff are friendly and on hand and there's also a cute little souvenir shop on site where you can get all your condom merch!

5/5 STARS BECAUSE THE FOOD DID NOT GET ME PREGNANT 🌟👍🏼 Normally, after dining out at other establishments, I have to buy Plan B afterwards to ensure I do not get pregnant. However, after eating dinner at Cabbages and Condoms, I was informed that the meal had a 0% chance of getting me pregnant, which made me very relieved. Jokes aside, Cabbages and Condoms is a non-profit organisation aimed at public sexual health education and reducing the spread of HIV and AIDS. Its mission-based outreach program has achieved remarkable success and international recognition. The name comes from the idea that sex health and protection (condoms) should be discussed as openly as buying vegetables from the market (cabbages). If you have a night to spend in Bangkok, this is a worthwhile establishment to support. The food is decent - nothing fancy but a very enjoyable and unique experience. It is best to view your visit as supporting a good cause over satisfying culinary expectations. There is also a cafe and gift shop alongside the main restaurant, that sells on-brand merchandise at affordable prices. Remember to pick up your free condom!

The food is average, all of it came cold and the mango juice was watered down it felt like drinking colored water. The staff was not around and had to call them multiple times to get something. It’s an experience due to the condums, and it was fun. But to me it’s a one time experience.

This thematic restaurant is very unique. The cause it stands for decorates everything there. It is large, has an impressive variety of Thailand food. Food was delicious. And the atmosphere very welcoming. I do recommend it.

We’re from the U.S. and have eaten our way through a lot of wild and wonderful places—but this one? Unforgettable. It’s proudly themed around safe sex (yep, you read that right), and they don’t hold back. Expect condom-covered mannequins, cheeky signage, and a whole lot of laughs. But here’s the twist: the food is actually great. I had the chaw muang and still talk about it to this day. If you like your meals with a side of shock value and great flavor, you’ll love it.

Unique style Thai food restaurant. The atmosphere was great. This was the new experience having dinner in health literacy promotion restaurant. The foods seemed quick and tasty. There was a nice Thai traditional dance which was really lovely. Service was great.

The food is average and the service is not really the best. I had to continue to call or look for a server just get anything. Good was served cold. The fresh mango juice was watered down so much it felt like colored water. I don’t think we will be going there again. However it’s a good experience all decorations are made with condoms and it’s actually a fun experience..
