Thai restaurant in UK offers family planning advice with meal

Diners in the new eatery in Bicester, Oxfordshire are given leaflets on protective sex at the end of the meal and even encouragedu00a0to buy condom-themed merchandise - with proceeds going to charity in Thailand.

In a bizarre initiative started in Thailand, the restaurant aims to promote sexual health alongside its food - following success inu00a0six restaurants across the south east Asian country.

The name of the eatery refers to the idea that people should buy condoms alongside everyday mundane items such asu00a0cabbages.

Diners at the new restaurant will get the chance to sample traditional Thai food ‘in a cosy atmosphere' before they are presentedu00a0with the information on sexual health and even urged to buy some of its unusual condom-themed merchandise.

Among them are condom-themed mugs, keyrings and books and even a mascot made out of the contraceptive.

Wilas Techo have now brought the idea over to the UK with the new restaurant in Bicester, Oxford, leading the way with allu00a0profits from merchandise sales donated to charitable causes in Thailand.u00a0
