Panorama is always very full, should reserve ahead of time. Nearby Asia Plaza, Central Hotel, Trader Hotel, all GF friendly, but all collect IDs when enter. A little away, Summit Parkview also GF.
Another topic that doesn't merit it's own thread!
Majority of hotels are GF but may be picky over the type of ID, pink card is the official Government ID but many girls, especially in Emperor, may not have this (it's relatively expensive) so have so other form which hotel may or may not accept. Any girl I've taken from Music Club has had the proper ID and other places it may be possible for the girl to borrow/rent one (1-3k)
Sedona (and sometimes Grand Mee) has the reputation of being especially picky about this.

Thanks[/QUOTE]Asia Plaza. Asia Plaza. Asia Plaza. Asia Plaza. Your date has no I'd? No problem. The friendly staff just informs you that the responsibility is on you. Up to you. To accept or not. Aisa Plaza. Unless you want or need something cheaper.
Hi Guys,
Which would you choose. Asia Plaza, or Central hotel.

Last time, I stayed at the Park view, and was given a hard time about taking a girl back!
[QUOTE=Member #2453;1155489]Why Not. If the Company Pays.[/QUOTE]Well said!
First Trip in 2010 I stayed in Thamada-Hotel.
I booked from home over travellagency. 20 nights for 432 Euro.
Small room with breakfast and 2 people.
Get Girl inside was no problem, if the stuff not see.
Once they call me back after I stayed allready in elevator with a girl.
If they see Lady, there was a hard procedure to get Lady inside.
She have to show I'd-Card, fill out a letter (Name, Adress,.) and sign it with a fingerprint.
Most freelancer-girls can't write, so some waiter fill it out for a tip.
It`s over 1 year ago, maybe there is a change now.
Hotel is at a one-way road, so taxi have to drive everytime a little more.
In front of Hotel is a outside restaurant, with good prices and friendly stuff, they not speak one word english.
And close like 95% auf the shops at 22:00 to 22:30.
There I meet a travellguide, he charge me 10 dollar a day. He was very friendly and talk good english.
But he tell me only bullshit-stories, thief me money and was not able to check me only one girl in almost 3 weeks.
He show me around in expensic stores.
Example, Massage shop little far. 2 hour 35 Dollar. I found alone by walking a shop for 45 minute 5000 Kyat. Other Shop "21".45 minute now 3000 Kyat.
Londry, one shirt 1000 Kyat, Jeans 2000. That`s to expensive, so we go by Taxi (4000 Kyat one way!) to a shop with same prices.
Later I found restaurant Lady, she want clean for free, but I prefer other place. One pack clothes 3000-4000 Kyat
Any report on East Hotel? Looking at staying there in January. Is it GF (with double room booked)? Are waiters able to provide? Any massage lady available for play like the one under the bridge at the panorama? Any help much appreciated.
Hi all, I would like to have some updated information about girlfriendly hotels in Yangon.
I'm not looking for expensive. 5 stars hotels, but cheap and clean one.
Thanks.
Me too, cheapest possible, for a week or two.
Any news / info?
Any cheap girlfriendly hotel?
Thanks
You can try East Hotel, around USD 60. You can book it on Agoda hotels site. Quite GF but it is a non-smoking hotel. Cheers.

Is Parkroyal girlfriendly?
[QUOTE=Liggi1;1300654]Is Parkroyal girlfriendly?[/QUOTE]Yes or at least it was 18 months ago. It's a nice set up with the Music Club downstairs with a large selection of girls.
If you decide to take one back to the room they register at the desk and leave their ID. You then get shaken down for $10 by the hotel, it would appear this is standard procedure and they will call your room when the girl leaves to check everything is OK with you, so really this is all in your interest and somehow seems to make it legit with the establishment.
The girls are all familiar with this procedure and it works well and smoothly!
So, the hotel may be at the top end of the price range but for a hassle free experience it takes some beating, my advice give it a go and Enjoy!

The Parkroyal now charege 20 US $ Joiner Fee. The ladies in the Music Pub downstairs want 100! US $.
In the Emporer the ladies want 40.000 Kyatt, but 30.000 Kyatt is OK.
I came back from Yangon yesterday.
I have a preference for serviced apartments. The GMER (The Grand Mee Ya Hta Executive Residences) quoted me 150 USD for a standard 1 BR apartment. Too rich for my blood. MiCasa Hotel Apartments are a more reasonable 92 USD, if you make the reservation through their website. Now let's see if I can convince the girls to cook me breakfast. LOL.
The Clover, East and Panda Hotels are non-smoking!

If you can start a chitchat with them there the price can be lower. I took one for $60 and kept her as a steady partner all night thereafter for $100 per night. She could speak some English as she worked for a tour company, very presentable and most importantly a great performer. After her work with the tour company she would come to the hotel around 7pm and leave for work at 10am after enjoying the breakfast together. Some of the hotel front desk girls also can be negotiated I was told. Dollars and Euros has a tremendous following.
Does anyone know if the Alfa Hotel is girl friendly? Anyone stayed there? It seems reasonably priced on AsiaTravel compared to other hotels.

Yangon hotels have gone crazy now. These rates are all double and triple what they were even 2 years ago. Just not enough rooms since things have opened up. Forget value comparisons to anywhere as the supply- demand is whacked.
Try a search for Yangon travel agents and you might find one who returns email. Otherwise, Agoda. It is going to be tough as we look to high season.

Justr left Rangoon after a nice stay at the Park Royal. There is a spa, very reasonably priced. Made a contact during an in-Spa foot massage ($20 for an hour). She suggested that I opt for an in-room body massage next day. That turned out to have been a very good move. We were both happy, I with the service and she with the tips. Saw her each day until I left. She implied that most of the otgher masseuses were also in the game. She was so petite and cute (plus decent English) that passed up the opportunity to test the thesis and stuck with her.

Park Royal is a great base for mongering. I stayed there in February 2011 for something like 70 USD a night.
Recently, the hotel prices seem to have gone through the roof.

I noticed some cheaper hotels away from the main now expensive hotels and clubs. Does it matter to stay away from the main drag?
Do the girls mind and would be easy to get back to hotels (I mean transportation)? I have not checked if the hotels are GF yet as that would be the next step.
Thanks for the help.
Was recently in Burma and stayed at the Asia Plaza Hotel as my regular Park Royal was fully booked and also way too expensive. Walked a few distance away near the flyover and asked whether they know of anybody for massage. They said they will send someone in ten minutes but that did not happen. So went again and was lucky to see a MILF who was around and they requested her to which she obliged. She came to the hotel in 5 minutes as promised. Had a good time with her with massage and extras and could not go to the hilt as she was having her off day. Overall rating.
Looks: 8/10.
Body : 7/10.
Boobs: 6/10 32 D cups.
Pussy: hairy unshaved. Offered to shave her next time.
Price: USD 30 for 2 hrs.
WIR: Definetely yes as she has given me her contact Number
Excel Treasure hotel is a real dump and seriously expensive for what you get. Avoid it like the plague if you can find somewhere better. That said, it is very girl friendly. Brought 2 girls back, see my report in other thread. No need to register your guest or pay any kind of fee, just head straight to the elevator and up to your room. Hotel even has condoms in the mini-bar if you get caught without. It's about a 10 minute taxi ride to JJ Club or Emperor Club. Taxi should cost you 3000 Kyat (exchange rate is 830. 860 Kyat = 1 USD). Always taxis waiting just outside the hotel.
I did a search on Summit Parkview hotel where I will be staying later this month, and it's stated that it's GF even very GF. But in some older posts it says it has a joiner fee. Anyone with recent experience who can elaborate?
Can confirm myself, a 15USD joiner fee
Heading to Yangon next week and can see the temperatures pushing the 40c mark. Does anyone have a suggestion.

Hi all, I'm planning a trip to Yangon in the very near future and currently booked at the Sedona. Is that a girl friendly hotel these days? And if ok to take girls to your room, do they charge anything extra for this? And if Sedona is not gf, what other similar hotels would you recommend. The Strand is not available and Traders has some availability, but for their most expensive rooms only.
Thanks in advance.
Just back from Yangon yesterday. Overall hotel is very pricey compared to other country e. G Cambodia. According to the locals there, previously the same hotel only cost you USD20 and now shoot up to USD120.
For cheaper one or for a quicky, Summer Motel is highly recommended. 15000 kyats for night time and whole day is 34000 kyats, but is bit far outside town area. No breakfast also. For those who plan going yangon can book hotel thru website which is cheaper. I stayed at New Ayer Hotel which what you see from the photo from their website is different from the actual environment. I recommend MGM hotel for value stay and is located near downtown. Easy access to everywhere and got sky KTV at level 2 and massage parlour next door only. Book online for cheaper rooms. Wifi in room too. Most importantly is GF. You can even arrange with the bellboy or the lift boy there for girls.

Hello every monger!
I've found a hotel which is called "Royal White Elephant Hotel". It locates a bit out from city center, close to Inya lake, here's the website & address & phone number: [url]http://www.rwehotel.com/index.htm[/url]
Address : No-11, Kan Street, HlaingTownship. 11051.
Yangon, Myanmar.
Tel : (+95-1) 500822, 503986, 539776.

A double room costs from MMK 35, 000 or USD 61 (the price in kyat is 1/3 less than in USD, wrong quoting?)
And currently they offer 50% off discount for all room prices! (from 13 16 apr.)
Hope anyone who tries out this place tell about it!

Booking double room does not mean anything. If WGs are not allowed, then it does not matter. If the Hotel allows WGs and you have a double room, you may get round the joiner fee if the hotel has one. Best to ask upfront then there are no issues later. There are the reasons I requested that mongers report on the hotel's policies.
Thanks
That would be totally unacceptable if the hotel asks some thing more from a double-room client! I remember some one from early reports (probably some time 2007?) claimed to have been charged ca. USD10 for the so called "joiner fee", further more he even paid another USD10 to have his WG allowed into breakfast buffet, and later learned that he could have just paid USD5 more for a double room which would include all further costs!
And from some reports some guys who paid for a double room tried to argue with reception after being asked for joiner fee and were later spared, after the reception checked their booking! Or maybe it was just simply fraud scam? Or misunderstanding caused by language barrier?
Fine, I'll find it out when I travel there as scheduled. Unfortunately cheating is common practice here in Asia (I'm from here too! But I might be much less vulnerable since I resemble Asian!)
There aren't too many choices of hotel in Yangon since the rise of prices (mostly above USD200!) , but there should be some places where the "locals" go, and pay "local" prices! For those places the "joiner fee" would sound some "unfamiliar"!

A double-room might be for single use, if there is a breakfast included you may have to pay for a second breakfast even if you are eating alone (don't think that they graciously give breakfasts for free. It is in the room rate anyhow!)
I for one prefer a double bed, regardless if I plan to bring a girl back or not. And in many countries I do not, so I demand for a double bed or king bed just for its size.
Hotels are run also for non-mongers.
Recently I booked a room for a layover of 7hrs (flight was around 3am) with a friend of mine (a guy) and we had a twin bed room.
When talking to the bell boy, he said,"there is no disco in this hotel, it is a family hotel" LOL.
Another guy got his plane delayed by 4hrs and he came by to have a shower. (hey. Ti wasa not a gay party!) and at the end we were 3 in the (twin bed) room.
I am sure that if I was to bring a girl in (me and her) they might have objected.
During my last trip to Phillipines and Cambodia last year, on the last night when I got back to Manila from Cambodia for the flight back, I booked at a hotel in Manila to just sleep as the flight came in late at 4 in the morning. I was flying out to USA that evening. I had booked a single room. The room was big but the bed was the smallest bed I have seen. It was the size that children sleep on. I was too tired to go downstairs and complain. I spent most of the night falling off the bed. In the morning I complained and they said that I should have booked a duble room for a normal size bed! I had no such problem in Cambodia or Angeles City. It was that hotel. So, be careful and do not assume anything.
Just back from yangoon.
One of my worries before going was whether my hotel will be GF. Posting so others can benefit.
Clover City centre hotel is totally GF.
If you book a double room there is no joiner fee etc.
My room was without breakfast so they did'nt care about another mouth to feed in the morning.
The reception is manned by young girls in the day time so you might feel uncomfortable asking etc.
The night is manned by guys and they are pretty open and accommodating.
The hotel is right behind "traders" and walking distance to Emperor's club.
The taxi back is 2000 Kyats.
On a side note, emperoro club is just as described by the other posts here.
30, 000 for overnight if you don't mind haggling a bit. They do start at 40/50 but fine with 30 eventually.
The mamasan always speaks english and you can clarify all your doubts.

[QUOTE=James Dean 2; 1423835]Just back from yangoon.
One of my worries before going was whether my hotel will be GF. Posting so others can benefit.
Clover City centre hotel is totally GF.
If you book a double room there is no joiner fee etc.
My room was without breakfast so they did'nt care about another mouth to feed in the morning.
The reception is manned by young girls in the day time so you might feel uncomfortable asking etc.
The night is manned by guys and they are pretty open and accommodating.
The hotel is right behind "traders" and walking distance to Emperor's club.
The taxi back is 2000 Kyats.
On a side note, emperoro club is just as described by the other posts here.
30, 000 for overnight if you don't mind haggling a bit. They do start at 40/50 but fine with 30 eventually.
The mamasan always speaks english and you can clarify all your doubts.

Thank you for your information, Mr. Dean!
Have you stayed at Clover or Clover City Center? For July I booked a double room in Clover City Center already via Agoda. I have read that the City Center is GF, too.
Was in Yangon recently stayed at the Panorama. While walking around the lady under the flyover volunteered to give a massage. Decided to give it a try. The massage was good as compared to the price which was 5000Kyat. Extras also available. Was also helped by the room boys later on with a model like lady. This one was not girl friendly and was waste and expensive.
I stayed at Clover.
Both the hotels are next to each other. Same owner I would guess.
Cannot confirm if city centre is GF but I would guess yes.
Have fun

Any Guidelines for St. Lt price and a tip for the boys?
With à bit of luck I will be 4 nights in that place.
I have booked a double room a fake but I am in a tour package.
Does the Panorama charge a joiner fee for st vs lt?
Or do those room, boys bypass all that.
Don't want to get awkward situations with my female tour guide LOL.
Stayed in cover city center took double room no breakfast so no problem completely GF just took document of girl went to Emperor and JJ and JJ is a lot better 40000 lt both places girls so sweet so treat them well!

Even with a bad experience still preferred the JJ centre and also thought the girls were really sweetin and possible to make a nice connection with them which always helps the experience. While the cost of travel and hotels is expensive and the scene itself is not nearly as developed as somewhere like Thailand, the people have a warmth and generosity that really endeared them to me. I would definitely visit again.
Spent a few nights in Rangoon in July. Hotel New Ayelar and Hotel MGM are both gff. If you have PAID for a double room no joiner fee is required. New Ayelar is the best of the two, but costs 50 bucks, MGM costs 27. These are prices on Agoda, walk-in prices are higher. One of the floors in MGM are renovated and has nice rooms, but this hotel has a noise problem and is being renovated.
Anyone have any problems with Traders' being Girl Friendly? I figured I would stay somewhere nice but don't want to have any hassles. I remember reading there's a good disco there to find WGs. So it's only an elevator ride away? For my second night probably JJ. I'll report back on both. What about some DAYTIME action. Any suggestions for soapies, massage parlors, BJ bars, escorts, etc?
Thanks guys. Let me know if anyone will be in town early Sept and we can be wingmen!

Stayed at The Grand Mee Ya Hta in the downtown, very near to Traders and Park Royal.
They have very well appointed apartment for USD 150 per night. Absolutely girl friendly. On certain nights I called for 5 girls to choose from and the reception just called me to inform that 5 ladies are going to my room. I had thought that they would object to it, but then it was a pleasant surprise.
Checked in in the morning, was very tired due to night flying, checked the room and saw a menu from the massage centre, called them and they promptly sent a girl to the room for body massage. Girl was good. 2minutes into the massage and she asked me if I wanted a hand job. I said NO, I would be interested in boom boom. She quoted me USD 50 for a bang. Finally we agreed at USD 30. Well, she just lowered her trouser and asked me to start fucking. No way dear, you need to take them out completely. She refused. I said bye bye. Just paid the massage charges and the tip.
Had some good fun in the night. Would post in the next report.
Cheers!

Looks like Traders just got a little less friendly.
From the beeb:
"An explosion has shaken one of the most prestigious hotels in Burma's main city Rangoon, say police.
One American guest was reportedly injured in the blast at the Trader's Hotel. There was little sign of damage to the outside of the building."
No mention of MK Hotel in Yangon that I came across on this thread. Has anyone stayed there? Any feedback?
[QUOTE=Digits;1498296]No mention of MK Hotel in Yangon that I came across on this thread. Has anyone stayed there? Any feedback?[/QUOTE]Yes. This one is OK. It is too new to have developed clientele whereby they would have immediately increased price. The reality of Myanmar at present. At 85$ US a night, probably your best bet if you are a no money guy, seeking basic standard and GFriendly, especially now with SE Asian games and high season begins.
Thanks Golfinho. I am attending a conference for most of the week at the Strand. I am extending for another three days on my own to see around town. Not looking for anything fancy (certainly not at $300 / night) , as long as it is very clean, and with good WiFi. MK seems like a good bet. Thanks again for the quick feedback.

Stayed at the Hotel Grand United-Chinatown which turned out very well for me considering my restrictions. Traveling with SO / family allows me for only short time excursions. This location worked out perfectly as it is less than five minutes walk away from the Ambassador club. I was able to arrange a short time tryst from here (on that later). So for people with limited freedom of movement and time, and being ok with the Ambassador I highly recommend this place. The club also opens relatively early. I also wanted to visit the Pioneer club, but unfortunately it does not open until 10:00 pm. Try to explain that to the wife.
In terms of girl friendly, I am not sure. The reception is on the fourth floor, and usually at the main entrance there is always somebody hanging around. When I returned from the club / excursion at around 11:30, the security for lack of a better word was already sleeping on a cot. I suspect it would not be a problem. Also, relatively speaking the hotel is very reasonable. For the three of us it was about $75. 00 / night including breakfast and free wifi.
[QUOTE=ConquerorVal;1511366]walk away from the Ambassador club…. being ok with the Ambassador?????.[/QUOTE]Don't know where I got this name, but I was referring to the Emperor Club. There is no Ambassador club best to my knowledge. Sorry.

Visited Traders last week for their lunch buffet, and there was significant security at the entrance x-raying bags and scrutinizing guests. Not sure whether its because of the SEA games or recent bombing.
Walked by Traders today and security is still on. Must be because of the bombing as the SEA games have finished. Also, met a fellow monger at the Emperor Club last night (more on that later) who was staying at the same hotel as me and my family-the Grand United and he took a girl with him back to his room. So I assume its girl friendly. I timed it, and the Grand United is less than five minute walk from the Emperor-convenient.

[QUOTE=LifeIsABeach;1516855]Hi, what is the hotel like and rate / night?[/QUOTE]All accommodation in Myanmar is poor value. Grand United has two locations-I chose Chinatown because where there is Chinatown pussy action is not far. The rooms are small, basic, and clean with pretty good free wi-fi and acceptable breakfast. Getting around the city in a taxi will cost you anything from 1000 to 3000 kyat, which is dirt cheap. Because, I went during the high season the cost was about $80. 00 US with taxes, breakfast included. Other acceptable options were significantly more costly. The only drawback is the street noise and the windows are not sound insulated. Its a very lively part of the city. Both times I went to visit the Emperor Club, coming back at around 11:30 pm, the doorman was already in deep sleep on his cot. It has a pretty good rating on the Tripadvisor.
I'm there. Still a 15$ joiner fee. And they really scrutinize the girl's ID. The one I brought back from Emperor Friday had had an old paper version one and was questioned for a while before the reception was convinced it was hers. Last year I had a girl turned back when the ID wasn't accepted. Saw it happen to a Japanese guest the day before as well.

Only reason to stay at Parkview, stale and staid that it is albeit with good breakfast spread, if you're getting up for it, is for proximity to Pioneer. I. O. O. The best place in town, that is unless you are here solely for a fish barrel shoot, of the poor, semi-enslaved girl variety if that's your sport a la The Emperor. Pioneer gets going after midnight. For beer, it is draft only, yet they are now permitting you to enjoy chewing gum in the club. Yes, the changes in Myanmar are for real. Pioneer might not be the place for lower level sex tourist dreks, I. E. Mongers on a budget. But many girls here are freelance, as opposed to the Emperor brothel. Pioneer frequented by the Yangon 'elite', I. E. The priviliged and useless offspring of the general staff. Converse, interact, socialize, get to know the country you're visiting, make friends, and take home a date. It's still small money.
Is the AGGA Youth hotel is girl friendly. I booked it because it is budget rated.
Traders, was rechristened the Shangri-La after a decent refreshing of the rooms and reopened in May 2014. This was the hotel that had the bomb go off in one of the rooms a few months ago. The hotel has responded appropriately and forcefully. But it makes the place a lot less girl-friendly than before. Now everyone has to go through a metal detector and everything has to be x-rayed. There are uniformed guards. At the lifts, which before you could just ride up to any floor with a girl are now staffed with security guard desk and a sign that says registered guests only. During my stay I still brought 3 girls up to the room but it involved more interactions with hotel staff and guards than I'd have liked. So it is still GF but a lot less so and in the future I won't stay here. If you are staying there and the girl has an I'd you probably won't have a problem, but who know when they will change their policies. Eventually they will.

Will see what happens when the Novotel comes on line, but definitely they will be looking for a different clientele than the demographic here.
So, the good news is: amongst the GF new ones are Diamond Crown, Bahosi, Wardan. And the old favorite Panda. Rates are from 70-100 USD, all are solid choices, and all located outside but near enough walkable to the Chinatown, and also near actual restaurants.
Are there any new informations about the Parkroyal Hotel? I'll be there in August.

Apart from the unwanted 'interactions' with hotel staff and guards, were you charged a joiner fee? For me this is the major turndown of the Parkroyal, especially considering that room rates are very high at present. I also believe that at the Parkroyal no I'd no go. You have to register the girl and you have to pay the fee to bring her up. Not sure how friendly the Shangri-La was before. Many years ago, one girl mentioned that if you wanted to bring back two girls you could do so at the Parkroyal (then Sofitel I think) but not at the Traders / Shangri-la. The advantages of the Parkroyal are free entry to the Music Club (for those who care) and the staff won't be surprised if you come back with a friend. But still you have to pay. The Shangri-La seems to be the better hotel of the two, although they might be less familiar with your new found friends and may make things more complicated.
Finally, given that you stayed at the Shangri-La but not eager to go back, which hotel (s) would you consider as an alternative for your next stay? I was (and still am) undecided between Parkroyal and the Shangri-La but do welcome any input on similarly rated places to stay, GF and if possible not too far from the centre.
Thanks again for your help. I'm definitely tempted to stay at the Parkroyal by now.
The Grand United hotel Chinatown in Yangon is 100% girl-friendly. I have just bring one girl each time, (no threesome) no problem, the girls had just to leave her ID card at the guard.
I echo Beijing 787 on Hotel Grand United (Chinatown) being girl-friendly. The good thing about it you can go straight to your room without passing reception. Emperor is also within walking distance.
I might have too many sheets to the wind, but I believe that I stopped by the PR and found that the Music Club was gone and was now a family restaurant or something. At any rate I struck it off my list. There is no joiner charge at the Shang, and there should not be for the price you pay!

I was in the Summer 2014 in the Parkroyal. At the entrance there is a inspection of all items and a review of the ID card.

It's a good place to relax. If you need to pay attention to the money, there are better alternatives.

Doesn't the hotel probably maintain a record of which customers were visited by girls? What's to stop them from passing that info on to the Burmese gov't? Let's say the govt wants to get dirt on the companies customers work for, that sort of thing.
I wouldn't be so paranoid about this issue if it were Thailand. But with the Burmese gov't and its relationship with the big hotels and with the commercial sex scene in general, I just can't tell.

It has been more than several years now since Burmese girls could not be caught out in the street after dark with foreigner without risking nasty visit to a police station. But even back then, where was the onus on the customer? This is Asia where you can be as much a man as you want, unless you're too afraid or don't know how.

I was there in 2013. Not that amazing an experience, but that was really because I didn't know what I was doing.
I thought I saw some online comments a month ago suggesting that Music see was still the same as ever, but maybe I read wrong. I wouldn't want to drop 180 bucks per night on the PR, only to find that the club is gone. The PR's a nice hotel, but a fair rate for what it offers would be, maybe, 130 usd, so to me the presence of the club was the only thing justifying the higher rate. Much thanks for pointing this out.
So, are there any hotels left in Yangon with a pickup spot in the same building? I guess I'm just lazy (in addition to paranoid). Plus, I go to SEA in the summer, when it's humid as hell.
I've read that the Irish-style bar at Sedona used to function as a pickup spot for FLs at some point -- but I can't find any info about that recently, so maybe that operation shut down.
Thanks for your reply. I actually loved Yangon (a lot of commenters here seem to think it's just a stinking hole), and I think if I spent more time there my paranoia would go away.

Hi guys,
Just returned from Yangoon and this is my report.
Stayed in Royal park hotel for USD 200 per night, if you need a cheaper option then check in at Thamada hotel just next to Park Royal for USD 65 per night. Good hotel with breakfast and safe in the room. They allow girls in the room taking their ID card. The only problem is that will not call you when the lady will leave to check if every thing is okay. You can leave instructions if you wish as the reception to let you know when the girl leaves.
Anyway now about my stay at Royal park hotel. After checking in went for a SPA for USD 25 for one hour. She allowed me to touch her everywhere but wanted extra USD 30 for handjob. They come to your room at the same rate. At night went to the bar below the hotel called Club 5. They do not have cover charge for hotel residents but for outsiders they charge USD 12 with one drink. They have a live Filipino band, on Sunday there is no cover charge and no live band. Just drink and pick up. Excellent quality of girls, they will not go lower than 100 USD, but managed to negotiate one very good babe for USD 80 for 2 pops.
The next day went to Pioneer. USD 7 for entrance including one drink, good selection of girls, picked up one for USD 80 for full night.
The third night went to Sedona hotel. USd 12 cover charge, lousy babes. Did not waste time there when to DJ bar. They charge USD 10 for entrance, good quality girls, got one luckily for USD 50 for the night.
The forth night want to Olympic hotel for a massage. They charge USD 8 for traditional body massage. Not worth a visit. Then went to Emperor. USD 5 cover charge with on drink. They too have a few good ones but they don't speak English, they start from USD 60 for the night.
Yangoon is a safe place to hang around and monger at night and the best places to pick up is Royal park hotel, Pioneer and DJ bar.
Have fun, until next time and next country.
Cheers
Stayed at Grand United Hotel Chinatown recently. about 90 USD per night. Rooms are clean, but there is a l o t of noise from the street and basically the standard is upper backpacking level. On the other hand you are in the thick of it and there is a lot of interesting life on the street.
This hotel is very definitely girl friendly. It is a tall narrow building (9 floors? The reception is on the 4 rth floor, and there is only a totally non-interventionistguard at the entrance. From the entrance you take the lift directly to your floor without any need to even pass by the reception. It is about 6 minutes walk from Emperor (which I would however say is overrated). I suspect there are a lot of other options around in the neighbourhood, but I am not aware of them.
Took a girl into Chatrium. No extra fee, but they wanted I'd, and the lady at the reception didn't believe it was authentic and started asking the girl lots of control questions. She was definitely not [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord902][CodeWord902][/url], so it wasn't about that and she was quite decently dressed so it wasn't about that either. One also has to sign a form confirming that one took a guest in. Since she was so skeptical about the girl, she also made me write explicitly on the I'd that "I take responsibility for taking the guest to the room". It ended up as a bit of a discussion. If you are going to monger and don't enjoy that kind of thing then stay away from Chatrium.

Note long ago I had two clients, one who used the Asia Plaza and one who used Shangri-La hotels for seeing girls. Here are the pros and cons.
Same at both:
Girls are allowed into guests room but hotel must see girls IDs.
Asia Plaza.
Cost: $60 if you book online with Agoda; $80 if you just show up.
Pros:
- lower price.
- easy to bring girls in without too much embarrassment since the hotel lobby is small, but it usually has tourists hanging about.
- good location.
Cons:
- not super nice compared to a 4 or 5 star.
- they will charge you for each girl (usually $25). So if you have one girl in the afternoon, that's $25 and then a different one in the evening, that's another $25. And, you have to pay before the girl can go to the room. If you pay for a double room to begin with the first girl will be free but they usually charge for the next.
Shangri-la / Traders.
Cost: $225 or more depending on the season.
Pros:
- nice rooms.
- no extra charge for the girl. Can bring as many as you want so long as you don't attract too much attention.
- the hotel is a 5 star and probably doesn't want any bad publicity, so it is unlikely that they would allow any police to bust into your room. Once they have allowed the girl to go with you, you probably have some protection. The owners and managers would be well connected to local Burmese people.
- good location.
Cons:
- bringing a girl through the lobby is a walk of shame since there are lots of western tourists and businessmen, they will all look and know what's happening. However, if you have a local guide (like me) the guide can bring the girl directly to your room.
- the hotel is 5 star and probably someday they will stop allowing girls into the hotel.
- you and the girl have to pass through security and a metal detector with guards, sometimes there is a line of guests waiting to get in and you have to wait in this line. (A guide can do this for you if you don't want to stand there with the girl).
Other options: Some clients have asked about a hotel that won't take down the girls information. I am trying to find a 2 or 3 star hotel where that is possible. So far no luck.
Here are some photos, the 3rd one is the security at the Shangri-La.

More scrutinity of IDs more questions of guests.
Anyone have a suggestion for the best 3 star hotel that doesn't require the full ID inspection and hassling of the girls and guests?
From what I know the 5 star hotels are a lot more prickly.
Chatrium Royal Lake Hotel is GFE but needs to show ID and sign her in. Data point from late July 2015 visit.
According to others, Sedona is also GFE.

I just don't like all the hassle and time that this takes, especially with other guests standing around gawking at the young local lady and the middle-aged foreign man. In the past 6-9 months this has increased. At the Park Royal the general manager came out to oversee the process with the last young lady I brought there. Took about 10 minutes.
So, I'm interested in the nicest hotel close to the action (no further than Park Royal) that doesn't follow the whole detailed sign in process. I'd like to just walk in with my date and go to a decent room. So could be a 2 star, 3 star or better a 4 star.
I tried a pretty cheap place recently, but there was weak Air Con and the room was intolerably hot. So I'm wondering if anyone has another option that is decent.
Cheers
(PM if you have a good suggestion but don't want it too public)
[QUOTE=Cucumber;1675797]This hotel is very definitely girl friendly. It is a tall narrow building (9 floors? The reception is on the 4 rth floor, and there is only a totally non-interventionistguard at the entrance. From the entrance you take the lift directly to your floor without any need to even pass by the reception. It is about 6 minutes walk from Emperor (which I would however say is overrated). I suspect there are a lot of other options around in the neighbourhood, but I am not aware of them.[/QUOTE]Based on this review, I made a reservation here. I'll be there in about 10 hours (flying from Seoul). Hoping to meet other folks from this board. Sent a couple of PMs to BigSwingingDon but got no response yet.

I stayed at Hotel Grand United Chinatown recently. It is very girl friendly. I brought a girl from Emperor Club during my stay there. The girl had to leave her ID with the watchman.
After the deed, while leaving the girl at the entrance of the hotel, I saw the watchman give her another ID. The girl told him it was not hers. Then, he rectified, meaning that another WG was at the Hotel.
The reception is on the 4th floor. So, no need to go to reception with the girl. One can take the girl directly from the Entrance of the Hotel to the room.
Stayed at the Hotel Grand United Chinatown again this year. Was given the same room as last year. Very girl friendly. When I brought a girl at night, I was helped by the Security Guard and the hotel boy to take the girl to the room.

Is the Best Western girlfriendly? I think it is better hotel than Grand United Chinatown?
[QUOTE=Liggi1;1942715]Is the Best Western girlfriendly? I think it is better hotel than Grand United Chinatown?[/QUOTE]ALL hotels in Yangon are GF if the girl has an ID. Doesn't have to be exactly her ID, just close enough. I have never had a problem bringing a girl back to my hotel, 5* to no star, 3:00 am or 9:00 pm. The only possible consideration is whether the hotel is set up in a way that you can sneak the girl into your room without being stopped by reception. I sometimes prefer this as the girls name doesn't end up recorded with my own. Traders makes this possible because there is a bar on the second floor that has access to the elevator banks. Not sure about the hotel you mention.
Only exception that I have heard is for one of the expensive boutique hotels that has government connections and doesn't like hookers on the property.
One thing to note is that the cheaper hotels will charge you for extra guests so make a booking for a room for 2. If you bring a girl in the afternoon and a different one in the morning evening, they may charge you for the second girl.

At Summit Parkview they scrutinize the girls IDs. Had one rejected since she only had a copy of her original. Also had problems another time with one who had an old paper version, but after a lot of control questions they let her come. For my own security they claim. Also they charge 15 USD joiner fee. Not sure if it helps to book a double. Not my definition of girl friendly. At Park Royal the joiner fee was 20 USD some years ago. Not sure what they will charge today.

She was legless. She was waiting for you to carry her but you did not come. So sad for her, she had to be carried on a stretcher. Decidedly, it takes all sorts to make a world.

Beautyland Hotel II is this hotel girl friendly in downtown Yangon?
Just checked in to Clover city center and the reception guy confirmed: no charge for additional guest as long as you are solo and booked a room for two.

The Loft is discreet, private, GF, very quiet, with primarily European clientele. Their restaurant is excellent. For a recent stay (room 201) the cash rate was 58 usd.
If you stay in either of the two Grand United hotels in Chinatown, round the corner from Emperor, you enter at street level where there is just a guy who will take the girl's card, and then you take the elevator straight to your floor without going near Reception which is on the third floor.

The reception is on the 4th floor. You don't need to go to the reception. You can take the lift from ground floor to the level where you have your room. The security guard will keep the ID of the girl for your safety and hers too. At the end, she gives the security guard some tips.

Yes, I've read thru the tread. Info is old or very generic.

Would appreciate any info on any of the 3.

I'd also be very interested in information about the Yangon Thalwin Hotel. It's not cheap, but the location is very convenient. I contacted them to ask if they're girl-friendly. Maybe they're completely fed up because everyone from the shops next door and across the street is bringing the girls in. Does anyone know more?
It would also be interesting to know about the Best Western China Town and the Pan Pacific, or the Grand United Hotel. The Pullman and City Star seem to have closed, and the Parkroyal once refused service to a girl.
