Perhaps it you hadn’t treated your fellow posters here with such sustain and in such a high handed manner ( never apologise never explain, fingers in the ears emojis etc etc) when a Mod, which lets face it was just another means of you carrying out your silly but apparently failed campaign against Scottish guy as he's still shown as a member here you might be referred to in kinder terms by posters here both privately and on the board in general, but alas as it seems you couldn’t stop yourself perhaps you shouldnt be surprised when people relate to you as they do as not all of us have the short memory span that you seem to suffer from.
Have a nice day.
Thanks NIrish. Most of my days are pretty nice.

I was hoping I could find something in Yangon - anything would do - to write about in a new thread in which I would detail my cultural exchange experiences with the locals.
Forget it! It ain't gonna happen. So I'll add a few comments here instead.
There has been mention of some massage places on the internet, including in Christian's blog, but I have no desire whatsoever to seek them out.
The poverty here is truly gut-wrenching. Last night I went to a huge party downtown in celebration of the approaching New Year. There I got to see the more prosperous people, but when I stepped out and wandered the backstreets I was quickly brought back to earth. I couldn't wait to get out of there. The locals, along with their mangy rabid dogs were sitting, surrounded by garbage.
So if I did manage to find a massage place there is no way I'd consider going inside, no matter how cute the guys were. I could just imagine how filthy it would be. And the apparent lack of showering facilities would be a problem, given it is so hot here. The thought of washing your cock in a bucket of cold water which has probably been used by others doesn't bear thinking about.
But the eye candy here is amazing. At the party in the park, at the Schwedagon Pagoda, and just walking around town there are gorgeous guys everywhere. Heaps of young shirtless guys can be seen playing a type of ball game in the backstreets. Lots of eye contact but it's all innocent - just guys wanting to smile and be friendly.
So unless a miracle occurs, that's my take on Yangon.
So I see.
I'm thinking about a night tour with Simon.
The problem is, it is so hot here that I'm totally worn out by the time night comes around!
I'll give it some more thought.
You're staff a447. Ask for a discount.
Lol!
Simon is booked for next 14 days already. Matt has time at Sat and Sun.
Oh, I'll be gone by then. I'm off to Korea on 13th.
Apparently there is action to be had in Yangon? A friend was there last year.
It's pleasure, although I'm not expecting the "pleasures" to be similar to those I enjoy in Thailand.
It was a spur of the moment decision I made when booking my trip to Thailand. So was Myanmar, for that matter. I never gave it much thought - those two destinations just came into my head.
So nothing as yet to report from Yangon, but I live in hope with Seoul.
Then it's on to Japan or back to Bangkok. I haven't made a final decision yet.
A poster on another board has mentioned Lime Spa. The only problem is it's in a back street, seemingly in the middle of a very busy looking part of town, comparatively far from my hotel. And he said even taxi drivers couldn't find it. Apparently, you first have to get to the non-descript street and then wander around looking for a certain building.
I may give it a go tomorrow.

LIME Spa – Yangon – CLOSED
98 Kant Kaw Myaing St, Parami, Yankin Township, Yangon, Myanmar
LIME Spa is gone from Parami
“I went on 21dec2017 to the address in Parami, found the original spot (house in background is still there), but the entire building is gone, the tree in foreground felled, and the area now a construction site.“
Christian on 07-01-2018
LIME Spa has another branch in Botatuang Township [31/37, Triple Six Condo (5/F), 54th Street], and in Mandalay [18, 69th Street, across from Mandalay University].
The spa branch in Botatuang doesn't exist
“There is no spa at Botatuang Township [31/37, Triple Six Condo (5/F), 54th street. In fact the street is very dodgy. I went up and down a couple of times, got strange looks from locals. Do not waste your time.“

a447, some info for you just in case you didn't know:
Are there any gay bars or parties in Myanmar?
There’s a monthly gay party called FAB hosted by Gay Yangon Events (YG)which is great fun.
The FAB Facebook page will give more info about their next party. It attracts a mixed crowd of both locals and foreigners.
There is also a club called the Ninth Floor, which attracts mainly young locals and curious flamboyant gentlemen like yourselves! Hahaha. It’s known locally as “JJ Disco” and any taxi driver will know it. It’s located in the Mingal Zei group of buildings, north of the old British colonial area and close to Kandawgyi Lake.
More recently a new gay friendly bar and restaurant opened up in the expat area of Yangon called O’Thentic. It’s a French creperie and wine bar at the corner. Tuesday is the most popular night here with the gay community. You can find it at the corner of Yaw Min Gyi and Bo Var Niung Streets.

I'm checking gayromeo now. It's the only app I have. Plenty of guys.
Romeo was out-performing hornet in Pattaya two months ago. It has been rejuvenated in the past year.
Just about to head off to Ô’thenti.
Wish me luck!

So, here it is. It was very quiet - only 1 garrulous woman talking at a waiter. A couple of local guys came in later. The staff seems all gay and very friendly.
I had a mojito and a ham and emmental galette. Aroi maak maak!
I don't think the guys were rent-boys or looking for pick-ups. They appeared to be just customers. I didn't see anyone making eye contact.
I was kind of hoping some ex-pats would turn up so I could get the low-down from them. That wasn't too be.
But I'm glad I went. The galette was amazing.
I've always known it as a crêpe bretagne.
In the posted picture, sideways at least, it looks like an old piece of carpet. I've heard the expression "carpet muncher," but I never thought......
Yesterday was my last day in Yangon and it coincided with the start of their water festival.
My hotel is located on the edge of a large man-made lake and I walked around there most days, admiring the hot young workers - most without their shirts - whilst heading off to a restaurant for lunch. The park is filled with courting couples, who kiss and cuddle and stare into each others eyes. And yes, I saw a number of gay couples, too. One of the park rules posted everywhere is "No Sex". From what I saw, the locals are very law-abiding. What a shame!
The lake and park area is surrounded by a steel fence with access points into the park from the footpath. I entered through a gate but found the park itself had been blocked off, so I went back towards the footpath.
A rather nice -looking young man wearing the traditional longyi smiled at me and reached out to help me step up onto the path. He then held my hand and began walking with me.
At last! I've found someone! Why, oh why, did it happen on the last day??
He kept chatting away in Burmese, all the while squeezing my hand. I was in heaven. My heart was racing. My plan was to take him into the park, find a secluded area in the bushes and finally get to see what they wear under the longyi.
We approached a stand selling drinks and he indicated he wanted something.
Sure. No probrem.
He then proceeded to take a bottle of water, a can of Coke and three energy drinks out of the cooler. Three? Wow, he must be planning on some session!
When we reached the entrance I put my hand around his slim waist, gave him a cuddle and manoeuvred him gently towards the gate. But he pointed to the pagoda on the other side of the road - that's where he was heading. Hmm....not really the place for a groping session, I would have thought.
With my arm still around his waist we crossed the road. He indicated that the pagoda was closed, shook my hand and jumped on a bus! And he was gone!
WTF?? Nooo! Wait! What about me? What about my hard-on? What about the grope? Come back!
I was instantly deflated.
Then it occurred to me. Today was the beginning the water festival when young people do acts of kindness to older people, thus earning merit. Did he think helping me walk along the broken footpath by holding my hand would get him brownie points? Surely a grope and possibly a furtive chuck-wow would earn him enough merit to last a whole lifetime.
I wandered into the park feeling rather sorry for myself.
But not for long! Those bare-chested, hot and sweaty toned young workers were still putting the final touches on New Year decorations. Instant inflation! What a sight to behold - one I'd been going to the park every day to ogle at.
So, that was my last day. I'm now in Seoul, looking forward to better times.
Would be interesting to hear about the scene in Seoul.
I've only been to Seoul Airport for transfer on the way to Bangkok.
I'll see what I can find.
Hopefully, I'll be able to start a new thread.
