Explore the latest public health research and insights about reproductive and sexual health.

Mechai Viravaidya, aka "Mr. Condom," signs a copy of his biography, From Condoms to Cabbages, for a visitor from the International Conference on Family Planning at the Cabbages and Condoms restaurant in Pattaya, Thailand.

C Is for Condom, P Is for Pill

Mechai Viravaidya is “affectionately referred to as the Condom King,” and condoms are known as “Mechais” in Thailand—an “honor” many people might object too, notes Viravaidya's biographer, Thomas D'Agnes. But Viravaidya “is not like most people.” Viravaidya regaled ICFP visitors to his Cabbages and Condoms restaurant with his most unusual life story, and his decades-long mission to make family planning fun and accessible across Thailand.
