Here you go hahaha!

Yup, made of condoms hahaha!

Reference, anyone?

Yup, they give out free condoms hahaha!

Ummm, Nice blooms?

Haute Couture

Retro.

Yup, the whole place is adorned with condoms, from clothing up to floral arrangements, there is no shortage of condoms. But besides its novelty. the restaurant is more than just a giggly thing. Cabbages and Condoms restaurant is more than a quirky name, it's actually a social movement. You see, this restaurant was actually started by an ex-politician named Mechai Viravaidya, who is championing relevant social issues, one of which is family planning and sexual health. By putting up this restaurant, a fraction of the profit goes to various projects and programmes of Population and Community Development Association (PDA) of Thailand, not bad, right?

Too hungry to flatlay

*drooooooling*

You know what else is not bad? The food itself! Aside from being a platform for educating the masses about sexual health, the food in this place is actually good! I couldn't recall much of all the food I ate then, but I can definitely vouch for their sticky rice and mango! It is the perfect contrast to all the spicy dishes like the Nor Mai Farang Phad Gung, which literally burnt my tongue huhuhu!


After stuffing yourself with the best Thai food in town, you can swing by their handicraft store to buy different Nick Knacks, like these bad boys:

Soooo, would I recommend people to go here should they ever find themselves hungry in Bangkok? Why, of course yes! Just make sure to remember that they are open from 11 am to 10 pm. Although, just a friendly advise, better not bring that conservative aunt of yours who is anti-RH bill, unless you wouldn't mind hearing a 2-hour sermon hahaha!

Love Always,

Initially, that's how I feel about this Thailand trip. I'm not that excited to travel to Bangkok, because I thought it'll be very similar to The Philippines, so what's the fuss? Truth be told, it is indeed very similar to my home base, but contrasting as well. Anyhoo, let me story tell my trip to the Land of The Free Taste Smiles :)


You see, Manila traffic is delirious, that's why it is a must to be at the airport much earlier than the usual 2 hours before your flight time-frame. Our flight to Bangkok was at 9:44 am last November 30 and I remember waking up at 5 am, and left home at 5:30 a.m. from Pasig to Paranaque, where Terminal 2 is. Fortunately, it is a Philippine Holiday that day, so there were no work or classes, hence no traffic (woohooo!). Arrived at the airport at around 6:00 a.m., then proceed for check-in and immigration.

Huhuhuhu Airplane food 😍😍😍 Because Calligraphy is lifeuuuu!

It was my first time to fly with Philippine Airlines, and I must say I feel well-taken care of throughout the 3 hour flight going to Bangkok. Here are the things I liked about this plane ride:

Hulas face with focused bebegel Annie Rose hahahah!

Yup, those Log-like things are the toes of the reclining Buddha.
