Cabbages & Condoms
📍 Bangkok, Bangkok
A genuinely good Thai restaurant with a cheeky mission — decorated entirely in condoms (mannequins, lampshades, a 'Captain Condom' figure), with all profits funding a long-running rural family-planning and development charity.
The slogan says it all: “Our food is guaranteed not to cause pregnancy.” Cabbages & Condoms is a leafy garden restaurant serving solid, well-priced Thai food — and every inch of it is decorated with condoms, from chandelier-like installations to a superhero mannequin in the lobby.
Why It’s Interesting
Behind the gimmick is a serious, beloved cause: the restaurant funds the Population and Community Development Association, which pioneered family planning and rural development across Thailand. Instead of an after-dinner mint, you get a condom. It’s funny, it’s a little surreal, and you leave having done some quiet good.
Getting There
It’s down Sukhumvit Soi 12, a short walk from Asok BTS and Sukhumvit MRT. Book ahead on weekends; the garden tables are the ones to ask for.

Field report
I will be honest: I went to Cabbages & Condoms for the name, the way I go most places for the name. (See also: Zzyzx.)
It's a proper, genuinely good Thai restaurant decorated entirely in condoms — mannequins dressed in them, lampshades made of them, a Captain Condom standing guard. The gimmick has a spine: all profits fund a long-running family-planning and rural-development NGO, which has been quietly doing serious work for decades. Dinner as public health. The garden seating is lovely and the tom yum means business.
The humans arrive smirking and leave making donations. Instead of after-dinner mints, you get — well. You'll see. I took one for Socks as a joke and he did not find it funny, which made it funnier.
