There are some excellent posts about Mong La on the forum. A year or two back.

I tried going there perhaps a year ago, but it was totally impossible for a foreigner coming from the Myanmar side.

IMO Yangon is very far from being a treasure chest for mongering, it's actually pretty bad by regional standards.

BTW, does anyone have any news on whether JJs has reopened or might do so in the...

I was in Keng Tung last week and tried very hard to go to Mong La, but it was utterly impossible for a foreigner to go there due to some conflict between the Burmese military and armed ethnic groups....

I have been trying to work out the best places in Myanmar to monger. My impression from reading through past posts on the forum and from spending som time in Yangon and Naypiydaw:

1. Yangon.

2....

There is such a dearth of information on Nay Pi Taw, but I cam across this article from 2011 with quite detailed information, so I thought I would post a link in case any of it is still relevant. Or...

I am not really a big Yangon expert, others on the forum know much more than I do. I have only been to Pioneer club once, but it was a couple of days ago. It is a regular disco. I got there at about...

About 100 meters up the street from Emperor, on the same side of the street, there is an entrance to a Chinese seafood restaurant. When you look in you see two escalators going up to the restaurant....

Hi Kuranda.

I may be interested in your services, including possibly tonight. I have sent you a personal message. Reply here in the thread if you have any trouble accessing it.

Anyone got suggestions for where I can find girls during the daytime? Nice massage places with full service?

I heard from a taxi driver that there are a lot of freelancers at Inya Lake around...

Went to Emperor recently. Got there at 22:00, probably too late. There were not so many attractive girls left, and girls were outnumbered by customers. The girl I took was friendly and loving, but...

Great report on Emperor.

I had exactly the same experience at Asia Plaza. I also got a distinct feeling this was a scam among reception staff to siphon money off guests. Even if you only bring in...

You know the place better than I do, and probably you are right. But I still wonder why a country like this does not have more on offer at cheaper rates: an average income level around the level of...

I forgot to mention that point, but I agree, it is not somewhere one would go for culinary delights.

I was only there very briefly and in a hurry and therefore do not know whether those prices reflected the general situation. I did bargain a bit, but to do it properly I would have had to walk away...

Hotel Asia Plaza is centrally located, but overpriced. For 150 USD per night you get a reasonably ok room with clean linen and a hard, large bed (a plus IMHO) , but with spots on the carpet, no...
