An awkward dining experience
Cabbages and Condoms Entrance
Having never heard of Cabbages and Condoms, when my mother brought up that we were going there for dinner this evening, I was instantly mortified.
What on earth is this, I thought to myself, a rather late in coming attempt to teach me about birth control?
Mum saw the look on my face and said, “Noo, it’s not like that. It’s about sex education and environmental protection for the poorer areas in Thailand.” Ah, I thought. I suppose that makes it okay.
Condom Christmas Tree and Fashoins
We walked inside and at the entrance there’s this terribly gaudy display of a Christmas tree covered in unwrapped, hanging (unused) condoms, and then about 5 or 6 mannequins all dressed in condom “fashion” – all unwrapped, hanging, unused, variously coloured condoms. There was even a mannequin of a little girl dressed up like this. I thought that was rather… inappropriate, although considering the types of things that go on in Thailand sometimes, perhaps it’s not so.
In any case, at the very least the dining area was located apart from these monstrosities. The food tasted pretty good, and we had an enjoyable time washing it down with beer. I don’t remember what we ordered, I just remember it being fair quality for a very fair price.
Definitely a recommended place to check out if you’re looking for something out of the ordinary. I just wouldn’t recommend going with your parents
