Bangkok Restaurants
Basil Restaurant
A rough guide to some of the nicest Bangkok Restaurants where not only will you be served with top class Thai cuisine but some of these eateries such as the legendary Cabbages and Condoms restaurant, offer a most interesting alternative to dining. The city also offers visitors a wide choice of international restaurants. I must admit that this is going to be somewhat difficult for me as there are just so many good places to eat in Bangkok. I will guide you to some fine restaurants but these are not necessary my favourite as I simply haven't been to all of them. I'm sure that your tastes might differ from that of mine so my suggestion is to try a variety of both the local and international restaurants then choose your best. I once found a restaurant by accident (not the physical kind of course) outside the Joe Louis Theater beside the Suan Lum Night Bazaar on Rama IV Road near Lumphini Park. I enjoyed the food so much that I went back there three nights in a row. Unfortunately the restaurant no longer exists due to new development. Joe Louis Puppet Theater Restaurant was the name of eatery and the beauty of this was that once you'd finished your meal, you could simply pop across the road to the Night Bazaar for a spot of shopping or a visit to the entertainment arena nearby where you could have a drink and listen to young local artists sing and perform on stage. I am going to sorely miss this rather special place.
Cabbages and Condoms Restaurant
Bangkok RestaurantsCabbages and CondomsCabbages and Condoms is located at No. 6 Soi 12, Sukhumvit. Even for the pure novelty that the name suggests, this eatery could be one of your first choices as the cuisine here is top class. The host will also personalize your meal to suit your individual taste.The name of this restaurant is derived from the huge amount of cabbages grown and eaten by the Thai people, mostly in the north eastern province. Should you venture to this region, there is a good chance that you'll see vast cabbage patches all over the place. But because cabbages are part of the local staple diet, you need not have to order this local delicacy at this restaurant. If condoms where part of the impoverished Thai's daily use, then the associated health related problems could also be improved considerably. Nevertheless some of the profits from the restaurant go towards helping HIV awareness programs and other related charitable projects. When leaving this Bangkok restaurant, there is a sign that says: Sorry we have no mints. Please take a condom instead. Since you are fully informed, please enjoy your meal and remember, the owner of the restaurant says that the food here is guaranteed not to make you pregnant.
