This whimsical eatery is decked out head to toe in all things unicorn, including unicorn-themed wallpaper, stuffed animals, and more. There are even onesies available for those restaurant-goers who want to embrace their inner mythical animal.The decor is overwhelming at first, with pastel colors and crazy, unicorn-inspired patterns covering both the floor and the ceiling.

Rome, Italy might not be on your itinerary of cities to visit while traveling Southeast Asia. This restaurant in Bangkok is offering hopeful visitors of Italy the next best thing though: extravagant Rome decor. The Rome Restaurant in Bangkok is somehow elegant yet goofy, as restaurant-goers are surrounded by high-rise Rome lookalike structures. The best time to visit this restaurant is in the evening when colorful lights are turned on along the entire length of the venue, making the pool glow and the structures seem immeasurably more graceful.

6. Little Zoo Café

Cafe, Coffee Shop, Thai

This two-storey petting zoo houses a plethora of seemingly strange animals. Whether you want to take a raccoon-riddled selfie or hold a chinchilla, this is the cafe for you. All of the enclosures are made from (very strong) glass, so customers can eat and watch as the animals play in their maze of housing. The cafe serves lunch for when you’re hungry, and coffee for when you’re not.

7. Cabbages & Condoms

Restaurant, Thai

Prepare to dine on the safest food money can buy at Cabbages & Condoms. This condom-themed restaurant guarantees its customers that the food here will not cause pregnancy … well, we would certainly hope not. But there is actually a lot more going on behind the scenes. In addition to the seemingly hilarious decor, with everything from lampshades to mannequins sheltered in latex, this restaurant is a huge supporter of multiple foundations and development programs across Thailand. From safe sex to schooling, Cabbages & Condoms does a lot more than just serve up delicious food and get a few chuckles out of restaurant-goers: it is also making a difference across the country.
