Restaurant Cabbage and Condoms
Cabbages and Condoms has a huge territory, shared with hotel Birds and Bees Resort. There’s a big lawn with swings and free running rabbits, a piece of real tropical jungle with paths, bridges and fish in the ponds.
Where does this strange name come from? “Cabbage and condoms”? The thing is, this is a chain restaurant, the same places there are in almost all major resort cities of Thailand. Their creator and owner of Mechai Viravaidya is somewhat dozens of years ago began to engage in social activities birth control and family planning. Banned in Thailand abortions, fertility in rural areas used to be very high.

The hotel Birds and Bees Resort, in which Pattaya restaurant of this network, the name is also not accidental. AT English has a strong expression about “Birds and Bees”, meaning telling children about sex through the metaphor about birds and bees, so say on the example of wildlife.
In the large green area of the restaurant there are a lot of different funny signs and inscriptions. For example, immediately at the entrance offered pass through the jungle “capitalist” or “socialist” by. Moreover, they eventually lead to the same place.
Another trick, now the restaurant itself – mannequins, dressed in clothes from condoms and laid out on tables under glass patterns from the same material. So if you are with children and not want to provoke questions, better sit down at tables terraces, they are just wooden, without the original decor.

Menu and prices
The prices in the restaurant are higher than the average in the city, but at least once worth it. True. And tasty and aesthetically pleasing. Serving food in pretty dishes served beautifully. The menu has Thai and European cuisine. Thai dishes are a bit “smoothed” to European taste, but at the same time anyway, many of them are very sharp. I ordered exactly Thai food, no complaints, I liked it.
If you do not like red pepper, it is better to ask for “no spicy”, then It will be sharp, not much. Although, in fact, in Thai cuisine quite a few dishes without pepper, for the convenience of guests on the menu next to The names of dishes are pictures, composition and notes about their sharpness. there is children’s menu. And special chairs for children are also available, so what can be said that in spite of not very childish themes and elements of decor, the cafe is quite “kids friendly”.
From European dishes in the restaurant – pasta, soups, unchanged Greek salad, french fries, burgers, etc. But better still stop the choice in Thai cuisine, it is presented here better European. A good selection of cocktails, alcoholic and non-alcoholic, and natural fruit smoothies.
The bill automatically includes 18% service tax. Although usually the service at the restaurant is at a height if there are a lot of visitors waiters can sometimes make a mess of something or sluggishly react to requests. But more often they still behave extremely kindly.

When is it better to come
The best time to visit the restaurant is at sunset. From 17:00 tables on terraces above the beach, from which opens the most beautiful view. By evening, the sea blows nice fresh breeze, flashlights are lit. True, and visitors to this time is the most.
In high season and on weekends it’s better to book in advance, places may not be. This is exactly what happened in my case. Without armor space on the terrace was enough, but on the third line, so that the view of the sunset and the sea was not the best. This is despite the fact that we are with friends. Came a bit in advance, just many tables were already reserved.
If you are with children, you can come a couple of hours before sunset, quietly walk through the territory. In the tropical part in the evening can be mosquitoes, so it’s best to bring a repellent. On their terraces less because the wind is blowing and turning on the fans, but they can be.

How to get there
The restaurant is located in Pratamnak, 4 Alley Street, through road from hotel Asia Pattaya. This area is considered a tourist more European and popular with Russian holidaymakers. But public transport, unfortunately, by Pratamnak does not go. The terrain at the same time with small climbs, not quite flat. AND streets are located so that in a straight line from one place to another very close, but the road makes big hooks and the path goes long.
For example, from the popular beach Cozy Beach to the restaurant at all not far in a straight line, but you have to walk pretty well on foot. Better to take a taxi. Walking along Pratumnak to the restaurant can be reached from Dongtan Beach, from Tapraya Street, which are tuk-tuk or walk from the hotel and the beach Cozy beach, but the journey takes 30 minutes.
