I have been to Cabbages and Condoms in Bangkok (Soi 10-ish off
Sukhamvit) several times. If anyone plans to go to C&C, I also highly
recommend the Asia Bookstore on Sukhamvit Road close by for its
excellent collection of books on SE Asia in English.

The food at C&C is, IMO, average. There are several restaurants on
Sukhamvit Road that offer more interesting food. I find the gift shop
more useful. You can get silk scarves for a decent price (compared to
Jim Thompson, not Chathuchak weekend market) without the hassle of
bargaining or getting ripped off. C&C also has branches these days in
other Thai cities. Also, I think the vasectomy next door is an
exaggeration arising from journalistic license. I do not recall seeing
such a clinic - though I confess I have only been to C&C for dinner.

Could have something to do with the name being confusing close to
Beyond Seven - the brand name of a popular Japanese condom.
