Today is a quiet day, spending most of it on reading, blogging and photo processing. Our primary activity outside of the condo is a late lunch/early dinner at Cabbages and Condoms.
The restaurant is located a little over 2 km (1.25 miles) away. We take a slow stroll through the Sukhumvit area walking by many restaurants and pubs and easily 50 small food carts selling every type of meat on a stick, fresh sliced papayas & pineapples, noodles in broth and various forms of Pad Thai. We walk over busy Sukhumvit Road and a few blocks later we make a right down an ally which leads us to the restaurant.

Cabbages and Condoms started as a food stall by a Non-Government Organization outside their headquarters years ago. It has grown to a 400 seat restaurant in this location. The proceeds of Cabbages and Condoms supports public health education including safe-sex education. Along with very good food they have an interesting decor, heavily aligned with condoms. As we walk into the restaurant we encounter their coffee shop - appropriately named Coffee & Condoms. We continue on the the 400 seat restaurant area and are seated in an air-conditioned section. The courtyard is just outside, with some interesting lighting. We linger over our meal of duck with tamarind sauce and pork with garlic and basil, both which are very good. Alongside the check instead of after dinner mints the waitress presents us with two condoms. We can’t help but to laugh.
