Bangkok Restaurants

This top Bangkok Restaurants Guide invites you savour first class Thai cuisine at some very interesting eateries like the famous Cabbages and Condoms restaurant as well as many other top local and international restaurants around the city. 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 at 1875 Rama IV Road Lumpini Pathumwan. I enjoyed the food so much that I went back there three nights in a row and I still continue to go there every time that I visit Bangkok. Joe Louis Puppet Theater Restaurant is the name of eatery and the beauty of this is that once you have finished your delicious meal, you could simply pop across the road to the Night Bazaar for a spot of shopping. Only remember that the bazaar closes sharply at midnight. You could also stay and watch the puppet show if you so wish but remember, this is a traditional Thai puppet show which may not always be easy for you to follow the story line.

Cabbages and Condoms
Cabbages and Condoms
is located at No. 6 Soi 12, Thanon Sukhumvit. Even for the pure novelty that the name suggests, this could be one of your first choices as the cuisine here is first class. The host will also personalize your meal to suit your individual taste should you so prefer. The name of this restaurant is derived from the abundance of cabbages that are grown and eaten by the Thai people of the north eastern province. Should you venture to this region, you will witness cabbages everywhere. Now just because this is part of the staple diet of the north east, you need not have to order this local delicacy at this restaurant.
Of course 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.
