Cabbages and Condoms

"Oh by the way, I had dinner at Cabbages and Condoms", one of my friends told me. Cabbages and what?! Yes, I heard right. And no, it was not any of those sleazy places in Bangkok.

Cabbages and Condoms is a restaurant owned by a non-government organization (Population and Community Development Association). The restaurant both aims to provide financial support for the programs implemented by PDA as well as promotes the use of condoms for family planning. 

A very unique restaurant, C and C is artistically decorated with condoms, such as this:

Dressed in colorful condoms.

Walls, trees and lamps are likewise bedecked with..of course..condoms.

There are air conditioned rooms, but we opted to sit in the open air area when we visited. They serve mostly Thai food and I specially enjoyed #76 Pla Ka Pong Nueng Ma Nao (or steamed whole sea bass with chilli, lemons and vegetales). Complete set of menu, including prices (in Thai Baht) can be found in this link.

With my friends Rino, Fer and the yummy sea bass...

To support a good cause and for a good dinner, I will recommend Cabbages and Condoms any time. 

But hey, they do not give out free after-dinner mints.. only after-dinner condoms.

Cabbages and Condoms is located at 10 Sukhumvit Soi 12, Bangkok.

Floating Market at the 75th Floor

Ever been to a floating market? What about a floating market at the 75th floor of a building?

The Baiyoke Floating Market, is located on the 75th floor of the Baiyoke Sky Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand.  The restaurant recreated the "Siamese bygone days" and life as they knew it. They have a wide selection of Thai and international dishes displayed on boats. 

I enjoyed tremendously all the seafood dishes , the Pad Thai (or the stir fried rice noodle) , and of course the varied dessert selection.

Thai food galore.

Desserts,desserts!

Souvenir items are also available for sale.

Keepsakes!

The fee includes both the buffet at the Baiyoke Floating Market as well as the Observatory Point at the 84th floor.  The revolving view point will give a 360 degree view of Bangkok. Which is quite nice...especially at night.

A very interesting dinner...and we all had fun.  It was a good night.

Baiyoke Floating Market is located at:

Baiyoke Sky Hotel, 222 Ratchaprarop Rd. Ratchathewi, Bangkok, Thailand
