Boater Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) Named Cabbages and Condoms the new eatery has opened in Bicester, Oxfordshire Diners will be given leaflets and encouraged to buy condom-themed merchandise - with proceeds going to charity It even has the slogan 'and remember our food is guaranteed not to cause pregnancy' After a nice meal out you might get the added bonus of a mint or a chocolate when your bill arrives at the end of the night. But when it comes to paying at a new restaurant in Oxford you might get a little more than you bargained for. That's because health conscious eatery Cabbages and Condoms is set to become the first in the UK to issue leaflets on protective sex when your meal ends. Bizarre: The unusual idea has been launched in the UK following success in Thailand Sex advice with that sir? Cabbages & Condoms Thai restaurant in Bicester hands out advice on family planning at the end of the meal Cosy atmosphere: The interior of the Cabbages and Condoms restaurant In a bizarre initiative started in Thailand, the restaurant aims to promote sexual health alongside its food - following success in six restaurants across the south east Asian country.

Dancealot Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 It' s still a great restaurant whit quality food, whenever i go to Bangkok i try my best to go there. I never got the condom correletion anyways. Thanks for raising the issue. Food=food Sex=sex. In some mysterious way they made their formula work. So i suppose its a good idea to start a gig in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shot Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Eat enough cabbage you won’t need a condom. You’ll blow your partner right out of bed. Or off the table. Or the bath floor. Or the elevator. Or…….. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiang mai Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I thought Bicester was a strange choice of location, an ex military town that mostly full of chavs and a designer clothes retail park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambco984 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Excellent service in the one in Ratchaburi, strange theme but if it gets you to put something on the end of it and stop having all these kids and claiming benefits from the UK then I'm all for it haha.

chiang mai Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Interesting to read the readers comments on this, one Brit who lives in Koh Samui reckoned he'd lived in Thailand for years and been everywhere in the country and had never heard of Cabbage and Condoms, he reckoned it was all made up by the newspaper!

rene123 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 When I first saw that sign in 1998 I thought it was a misprint of the English language. I didn't know the background. I thought they meant Cottages and Condominiums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrry Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I fully respect the work Meechai does. He has had a huge impact on Thailand. His work has probably prevented thousands of children being born and saved thousands more lives through HIV Aids prevention. Sad to spoil it through THai greed and racism.

lujanit Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) Mechai is indeed a very decent man. Mechai acts as like what the majority of people in Thailand should be. Shame it is not so I have, unfortunately, never met the man however you can read his biography here http://www.mechaifou.../mechai_bio.asp Go to Cabbages and Condoms whichever is closet to you. I guarantee good food, a relaxed atmosphere and some education should you wish to partake Edit: again my lousy spelling Edited November 27, 2012 by lujanit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some one will read this and tell him that is not the way to make money for his cause. Although it begs the question, who are they going to charge more in England? Scots or Irish?

rene123 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Thanks for the topic, OP. It is topics like this one that open my mind to other things that Thailand has to offer and force me to research them on the internet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geriatrickid Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Well no excuse for that. Maybe some one will read this and tell him that is not the way to make money for his cause. Although it begs the question, who are they going to charge more in England? Scots or Irish? How else to raise funds and public awareness? The resto has folks talking now, hasn't it? In respect to the Scots/Irish comment, I'll take the bait; With the state of the Irish economy and the rapid impoverishment of Ireland, I don't think the Irish have much money to spend on anything, and as for the Scots - please insert one of those stereotyped comments about thriftiness Although the Scots I knew were not particularly good with money, but wow, was one a lady's man - and I mean a guy that would keep a condom factory full out to satisfy his wanton lusts- probably one of the best looking guys I have ever known and with an ability to seduce anyone in minutes - so maybe he should just move into the resto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antpet Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I went there a century ago to the one in Bkk and read the literature and the work of the founder. Someone tuned in to something other than gread in Thailand and trying to do his bit for the benefit of others. Then you read the stuff posted on here and it seems that the so called eudcated farangs know nothing; offers little hope to Thais. The restaurant in Bicester [ what a hole] deserves to fail. I hope it does. Hard wooden chairs? Can't see it being a success no matter how good the food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendejo Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Is the concept really that different from the Thai restaurants that have toilet tissue on every table? The idea is to urge you to keep your bum clean right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
