Burma vs. Laos

[JasonBalmer]

JasonPalmer, nice report. May I ask you for the name of the girl you met at the Emperor? Also, what was the rate for services?

Please PM me if you feel more comfortable sharing this privately.

Thanks

OS,

I know it sounds strange, but I have no idea what her name was. And I'd wager she doesn't know mine either. Such as it was with the language barrier.

I was giving her 20,000 + 3000 for cabfare.

There were lots in Emperor just as cute -- in particular look for the slim Indian gal with the fluorescent eye shadow. Highly recommended by a guy I met. (assuming that's something that appeals to you).

I like to ask the Myanmar experts. Is it cheaper to arrange all these domestic air tickets once in Yangon? and is there any particular travel agency that you recommend. There are tons of websites of Myanmar travel agents on the net and do not know which one has better price on domestic airfares.

Costwise, it is almost the same for getting Myanmar domestic tickets in Bangkok or have it arranged in Myanmar. From my experience the difference is 2-3 USD / sector of flight.

One thing good about pre-arranged trip is it saves you hassle having to do so in Myanmar which may take up half day or so. Also, if it's done through travel agency in Myanmar it saves you money and time. They can book hotel for you at good rate and meet you there to hand you the tickets & hotel voucher and you pay them (cash only!) on the spot. They do take only new banknotes though so do not bring well circulated banknotes as you may be refused for using such notes.

I had been using a company call Pearl Nadi which is quite good. They have website at :

They had been helpful to assist me in planning my trips. I booked Panorama Hotel through them many times as well as other hotels plus all air tickets. You can give them a try.

Report back about your journey should you have any interesting happening!

I am taking a long break in Apr and decide to take a longer trip into interior Myanmar. Planning to visit Mandalay, Bagan, Inle Lake, maybe Mrauk U, and some sidetrips to Mt Popa and Golden Rock ect as long as my energy last, I will try to make a big round in Myanmar.

I will take a colleague a portion of the trip and be alone rest of the trip, and won't have sex emphasis on the itenerary, but will look for these beautiful unspoiled entities that will arouse my compassion whenever I go.

Can anyone update the current status of those places like Pioneer, BME2, Emperor?

Will be glad to get any information on these venues as I am planning a visit next week.

I have sent a PM to you. But didn't get any response.

It's not clear to me whether bringing a girlfriend along from Yangon would have been well-received. Anybody know anything about that?

I've met a couple of girls who toured with guys so absolutely possible, but finding one who keeps your interest for any length of time.

i was in myanmar for almost two weeks earlier this month exploring both the mongering and the touristic aspects.

i'm probably viewing the experience with some first-time novelty affecting my judgment, but i did have a very enjoyable time and hope to return someday. i find the people (political leadership excepted) to be kind and gracious, the food delicious, the street life interesting (yes, it's very noisy) and the cost quite affordable.

i spent 4 nights in yangon, 5 in bagan and a further 3 in yangon. yangon lodging was in the panorama where i had a suite (double) for us$38 per night. nice room: clean, well equipped and well serviced. i do wish the furniture in the lounge area were a little better but at the price given can't complain. still, a small two person seat in lieu of 2 of the wicker chairs would be much more conducive to snuggling with the yizar d'jour.

on my first night in yangon i wandered over to emperor. got there a little early and there weren't many customers or girls around but that turned out to be ok. for a while i was beset by some gals who were a bit on the hefty side, something that does not appeal to me at all. but after a while some more girls wandered in and i connected with a cute young one who, as things would turn out was my companion of choice throughout my time in yangon. she was cute, slim, loads of fun (despite the language barrier) and had the most perfect set of c-cups i have ever beheld -- full, soft and gravity defying. and a snatch so tight it was almost problematic.

one night when we were coming out of emperor the police busted the place -- apparently with tourism down supplemental payments to the police have been also down and they're squeezing the establishments harder. it was not a pretty sight with them being very rough on the locals. we were just out of the club when it all went down so were not faced with any direct contact with the plod, but we got outa the area as quickly as possible. the high speed taxi escape was a bit breathtaking.

one morning at the panorama breakfast i ran into a guy who was there with his two buddies and had a great time hanging out and running with them. one of the things he introduced me to was a beauty shop/massage parlor named monalizar that was just down and around the corner from panorama. nothing dodgy going on in this site; just a good traditional massage and clean up. first they put you down on the table and set up a waterproof barrier around your neck before proceeding with a thorough shampoo, scalp massage and ear cleaning. then on to a body wipe-down with a cool towelette followed by a complete body massage.

one of the girls there really liked my hair (according to what a bi-lingual guy there shared with me) and thought i was very handsome. seemed like she put a bit more care and tenderness into the message but i could be imagining things. an unbelievable bargain at 4000k for 1 hour.

the second time i went, things went a bit longer and i got a sample of burmese arithmetic. according to their reckoning if 1 hour is 4000k, 2 hours is 5000k (?!). maybe you get money back at three hours ...

i had moo moo from under bridge outside panorama a couple of times too. we got on really well and she gives a very nice message.

we went to kyaw music pub one night for dinner and to see the show. the house band had a young burmese gal playing guitar who was very, very good. coulda played studio in la in my opinion. very accomplished with flawless technique on a knock-off stratocaster.

bagan is an amazing place and well deserving of its reputation. a bit difficult to get around and the taxi guys ask high prices, but given the sights, it's more or less worth it. doesn't seem to be any mongering opportunities but i do believe i saw two hook-ups happen between locals while i sat in some of the tea shops of the area. it's not clear to me whether bringing a girlfriend along from yangon would have been well-received. anybody know anything about that?

i really liked a lot of the food -- the curries are a bit oily for my taste, but no problems with them. in fact, despite eating on the street throughout my stay in yangon, i only got sick once and that was from a restaurant in bagan at lunchtime.

as i said in the beginning, i really liked the place and i hope to return.

my most sincere thanks to the members here who have provided info and guidance that were so useful in doing this trip.

Spent 5 days with a friend (both end 50 Europeans) in January in Yangon with mixed results. On the way from the Airport the taxidriver asked us if we needed some girls and proposed us to come to the hotel a night with them at no cost to look. He came in time, but with an Indian looking gentleman, whom he called the boss. His girls were outside in 2 cars. We entered in the cars, drove 500m only and enterd a bright lit normal drinking place. Instead of 4 girls there were only 3 and a Mamasan. Therefore 3 management people and 3 very young looking girls.

As European girls definitly under 16, which we did not like for different reasons. Prices were told 40 Dollars/night. We disliked the so called boss and declined the offer as possibly dangerous (possibly a staged police encounter.) We gave the girls 5 Dollars each and 10 Dollar for the taxis. Strange experience.

As it was Saturday night we went to the disco at the Plaza hotel, a large, darkish place in the basement. To our surprise there was a big fashion show going on all the time, which we watched with pleasure. Around the bar were some ladies standing which smiled to us as available, but we prefred first the show. After 10 minutes sitting a very good looking girl came to us and asked if she could take a seat with us. We invited her because she spoke good English which is rare in Burma. She was also a model, explained us the system and did not ask for a drink (Only later for a cheap beer)

The models work in 3 groups of about 15 to 20 girls, they are not paid a salary but get half the money from presents offered to them by customers (flowers etc of plastic) A cheap present is 8 Dollar and a better one 16 Dollars (20000Kyats) Later she asked for a present, which we offerd her. As she worked until 1and half hour after midnight, it was too late to ask her to come to our hotel. She also had to go home. Therefore I asked her to come two days later at 6. 00 before her work as model at 9. 30 would start. To my joy and surprise she agreed to come. I still was not sure if she would really show up, she also had not asked for any money. She came in time as agreed. Had a super body 36 inch, 24inch to 36 inch. Truly super and all 100% nature as I could feel and as she told me proudly. She was enthousiastic in bed, good BBBJ and longtime action (of course with condom) We were so happy that I asked her to come again next day earlier, which she did. I gave her 50 Dollar, which she deserved and is good money in Myanmar, especially as she had no management fees to pay to anybody. I had really won the lucky number. Other places in Myanmar seem to be too difficult (nothing on in Bagan nor Mandalay) to find.

Hi,

The places like Bagan, Inle and mandalay you will not find any place to entertain you. yes, it is possible to hire a taxi. but we hire taxi from bagan to inle lake, stop overnight at Kalaw and then Inle. that is a nice trip actually. That was last year when i travelled with friends.

It is possible in Mandalay (it's a couple of years since I've been there though), there are a couple (at least) beer stations /small clubs with girls. 'Fraid I can't remember locations but don't be shy about asking around (I got lucky and hooked up with a hotel receptionist.

Bagan & Inle are better enjoyed for the sights.

Hi Batman

Thanks for your report, although I'm afraid you missed quite a bit on Yangon.

There are a few places like Asia Plaza which are busy, JJ beeing the largest one , and while you definetely can't compare them with their counterparts in most advanced cities, Pioneer and BME1 are western style nightclubs opening late at night. It's not dificult in any of those clubs to pull 2 girls, or 4 if you're up for it. I wished they had fairer and better skin but girls are rather young in RGN and sometimes quite fun - or submissive.

I don't know about the places where girls hang out at day time but people living in Yangon will know and house delivery does work wonders. Some local friends had 4 girls coming to my hotel room for selection in the afternoon within half an hour on the last trip there, which was great as I could be more focused on partying when going out later - and for some reason over the couple of years it's in Yangon i've had the wildest parties.

Note as well that in BME1, which is somewhat isolated in the heart of the upmarket residential Golden Valley, you don't need to endure te whole way back to your hotel with the girl. Very next door you can get a room for 15000 Kts, so it's really a matter of minutes untill you're back with your mates downing some more of the dirt cheap Gin and slapping a few more asses.

Collecting a new visa on monday BTW, hope business will be good enough next week so i have a reason to pop up in Yangon on the way to HKG later this month.

The Asian Plaza was back in business the first part of December. The disco down stairs on the side of the hotel had working girls. The disco was not very busy and the girls seemed hungry. I was able to score for 20US for all night. Sorry no pictures. The girls were not that hot but doable.
If you walk out the front door of the Asian Plaza, facing the river, turn right go to the street that runs besides the hotel turn right again 50 meters on the right down the stairs is where I found the girls. I did not see any street girls anywhere in the city and I walked around quite a bit.
I stayed at the Panorama and there was nothing there or in front. I had no trouble bringing girls back 2 nights. The rooms were very reasonable 17 US per night.
Not really a great mongering destination but got another pin in the map.

Planning to visit Myanmar for a week or two in february. Will be visiting the usual touristy sites in Myanmar. Wondering weather one could have any mongering entertainment in places like Bagan, Inle and Mandalay.

Any information regarding the hotels to stay and the places to visit (for evening time activities !!) in these cities will be highly appreciated.

Is it possible to hire and taxi and drive from Bagan to Mandalay and then to Inle ? How much it might cost ?
