Well, that’s Yangon scrubbed off my bucket list, a447. :D
And like, Blacktouch, I look forward with greater interest to reading your reports from Seoul.

I can't begin to tell you how disappointed I was with my encounter with the young lad. I totally misread the situation. Luckily, we parted before I had the chance to embarrass myself with unwanted advances.
But that's what happens when you arrive in a new place having just come from the Disneyland of sex that Thailand is for us.
Did the Planet Romeo App not worked out while in Yangon?
Not really. There were heaps of "users" but no money boys. They were all looking for relationships or seeking young guys.
I coukd try it in Seoul but there is no way I coukd bring someone back to my hotel.
Yangon is off my list of places to visit.
Yes totally - A447 - you of ALL people REALLY should (please) - and in fact you almost owe it to your faithful readers following your travels in keeping up with the trends (as Grindr IS the No 1 App for gay men after all we're told ) and you could well be missing out on a TON of action so in the interests of sound trip reports I really feel you should download it ASAP ( especially for Seoul !!!!) as I've a funny feeling you also just might LOVE it :)
I fear you may be disappointed once again a447. On your behalf I sent messages (via blued) to 6 beautiful boys in Seoul asking them about the gay hot spots and as yet only one has replied and his answer was terse. Thank the gods for Thailand.
There now follows an alternative interpretation of the journals of a447 as he travels throughout Asia:
Asia: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the moderator a447 aboard the starship HMAS Enterprise. His five-week mission: to explore strange new cities. To seek out new gay life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no Sawatdee member has gone before!
Captain's Log, Stardate 2018.4.09
We entered a spectacular Asian star system called Myanmar in the Alpha sector on a most critical mission. I was beamed down to Yangon, a city formerly known as Rangoon, when it was held by the Romulans. Little was known of the city, or whether it supported gay life. But despite extensive searches and one false reading, it can reliably be reported that no gay life could be detected.
Captain’s log, supplemental:
Science Officer Blacktouch did recommend we try Planet Romeo, but it would have meant a major detour, so it was ruled out. We will however consider it at a later star date.

After much deliberation it was decided to move quickly at warp factor four to the Delta Rana quadrant and the star system known as South Korea. We received orders from Star Fleet Command to avoid the dangerous northern sector, which is still in the control of the Klingons.
Early indications from our long range detectors suggest there may be gay life in the city of Seoul, so it was agreed that should be our first port of call.
A further log will be recorded in due course . . .
;)
Well that's not very nice Stevie. Most mean.
I once had a regular Korean massage boy. After the massage he would accompany me to the shoiwer, wash me all over, dry me and dress me. The entire "body servant" experience. However I'm told that Grindr and other Apps in Australia have loads of Korean boys looking for some white meat so why go to a homophobic place like Seoul?
I think you've got that wrong, Jelly Old Bean. The quote is actually "It's gay life, but not as we know it" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trekkin%27
In Australia Koreans and other Asians want "white meat" under 35yo. I have been to Korea recently and agree it is very homophobic and the locals generally are also not interested in older tourists. There are plenty of young U.S army guys based in Seoul who i saw roaming "homo hill" to service their needs.
Damn it DaveyJonesLocker! You are good. So, credit where credit is due, you are, of course, correct. That’s precisely the quote I should have inserted at that point in my post.
And to quote a member, whom you probably don’t know, because he became an unperson before you joined the forum, it was also particularly apposite.
:D
Seditious Jellybean strikes again.
:devilsh:
I didn't actually go there for its gay life - I also checked the internet.
I went there for sightseeing and, frankly, to go somewhere different. Any sex woukd be a bonus.
And I'm glad I went, but I definitely wouldn't go back again, as the isn't much to see or do.

Correction. I recommended Grindr to a447 to download. Plus maybe Hornet too. Lol
My experince in Seoul is quite different. I had a lot of contacts via Romeo and 3 "meetings". Also there is cruising place for Korean students - famous "Gay Bean" - Coffe Bean cafe in 200 meters from Jongno-3-ga metro station (37.572631, 126.987365) where I had also few hook-ups. There are few gay bars and saunas in Jongno-3 district, me and BF visited some and it was nice experience.
Aye! You did indeed Science Officer Blacktouch. And I am heartily sorry for so blatantly and openly misrepresenting you in my fictitious story about the voyages of a447 on the starship, HMAS Enterprise. But it is a well known, long standing and fundamental tenet of the forum, that we never let the facts get in the way of a good post. Something you may wish to bear in mind for the future.
And, in any case, you must have recognised that mention of the gay app Grinder in the context of my storyline, didn't quite fit in with my Star Trek analogy as much as the Planet Romeo app did.
But hey! I hope my inclusion of you, in a supporting role, as the Science Officer brought a smile to your face.
;)
I was about to write a glowing report on my trip to Homo Hill, but I'll let the photo do the telling when I get around to posting it.
It makes Boyztown and Soi Twilight pale into insignificance.
Hold on!
Turn sideways.

How soon will a garbage truck and the working men appear on the scene?
Can't see a thing! a447's leadup post to this image is tantamount to Fake News.
As you can see, only one bar - Why Not - was open. There were only 2 customers, both farang, sitting at the bar. No boys in sight. They charge $10 entry fee!
The area, called Itaewon, was packed with gay couples but God only knows where they were heading off to. Certainly not to the famed Homo Hill.
Not a single "homo" erectus in sight.
Why not, indeed!
Homo Hill is just a step away if you google it.
Homo Hill Seoul’s gay scene is divided into two main areas, Jongro-3 and the most popular gay scene Homo Hill in Itaewon. The gayest visitors become familiar with Homo Hill for the best gay bars with drag shows and gay saunas such as Hyundae Sauna and Equus Sauna in a convenient location. Homo Hill is easy to find as it’s well known for the city’s red-light district neighborhood where to enjoy your gay scene in Seoul.
Hit these gay bars in Homo Hill are Queen which is being popular for young attractive crowd and gay scene weekend madness and Soho for the most popular bar on the street. Other must visit gay bars in Homo Hill are Club Qubic and Why Not Bar. Not on Homo Hill but near by fun gay bars in Itaewon are Club Pulse, GRAY Club and Le Queen.
What day of the week was it when you visited?
(Please think long and hard before answering, or perhaps take advice from a friend, as we know you have difficulty with such details these days)

All the Gods including Jesus Christ know that the above statement is totally misleading.
I'm back!
I flew into Bangkok from Seoul last night. Immigration was virtually deserted and I got through to the luggage carousels within 5 minutes - the quickest ever.
But there was some problem off-loading the bags and I had to wait 40 minutes before mine appeared.
Normally, I take the train if I arrive on the weekend, as I've been caught in a massive traffic jam in the past. But last night I decided to chance it and was surprised at the total lack of traffic anywhere along the route. Even Suriwong Street was a breeze, and I arrived at my hotel in record time.
So it's the taxi from now on. But I'm wondering if taxi fares have recently gone up because it cost me 450 baht, rather than the usual 300 and something. He used the meter.
After a quick shower it was off to meet my friends at the bar. We couldn't have our usual fun as there was a customer sitting at the bar with a girl. But as soon as they left the doorman went outside to keep a look-out for approaching customers and we had our usual fun.
Just as we'd finished a Japanese guy walked in with his wife and we had a bit of a chat. He's not gay but was simply looking for somewhere to enjoy a late night drink or three. But they seemed to enjoy themselves as they say and chatted with one of the guys.
Many of the boys still haven't returned from Songkran and there was only 4 working. But my two were there, and that's the main thing.
Tonight I might head off to Soi Twilight and see a show, seeing as it's Saturday night.(At least, I think it is!
So off I went to XBoys.
I arrived in Soi Twilight at 9:45 and it was very quiet compared to a couple of years ago, especially for a Saturday night. The show didn't start until 10:30 so I wandered further down the soi where I saw the German owner of Dreamboys sitting outside. I went over and had a chat with him. He's acutely a very nice guy and really loves to talk.
I asked him the obvious question about the future of the soi and he told me what we have already heard - the soi will close in a year's time. He's now 78 and is thinking of throwing in the towel and retiring.
I entered XBoys at 10 pm and the place was half full. As expected these days the customers were all Asian, bar myself and two other farang. But by the time the show began it was three-quarters full.
The mamasan seated me at the back of the bar where I had a great view, but I was soon joined by a group of large Chinese customers who all began smoking. Talk about the Great Pall of China, I could hardly breathe! And they were blowing smoke all over me. So inconsiderate. I got up and a sat by myself on a sofa right next to the stage.
There were 15 boys on stage and another 5 or so sitting with customers. I had a bit of a laugh as one cute Asian guy had a boy sitting either side of him and he was desperately going for the grope. But the boys, not to be outdone, were equally desperately trying to protect their manhood. And in the end, they won hands down. They've had a lot of practice. Lol
Only 1 guy on the stage stood out - number 65 had a huge bulge and the outline of his long, thick appendage was there for all to see. I waited for the rotation to get another look but he never came around. A quick survey of the bar saw him sitting with a customer. The good ones don't last long. And there was 1 gay boy who cuddled another boy from behind and I watched as he got a very quick hard-on, which he proudly showed off to all and sundry. As usual, I spent a lot of time ogling the cute Chinese guys in the audience. Some were just gorgeous!
For details of the show just read any of my reports from say, 5 years ago!
The last act was the chuck-wow show. They keep dragging out the same guy to perform. Not that I'm complaining, as he is very good-looking and has a very nice cock. It's just that I feel a little sorry for him, as that's his night over and done with - not much chance of an off. I hope the bar pays him well. He put on his usual sterling performance and although he didn't shoot as far as he normally does, he produced a prodigious load. Awesome!
One thing I can never understand is the attitude of some of the Asian customers I've witnessed over the years. They avert their eyes whenever a cock appears. A really cute couple was sitting opposite me and they turned their eyes away when the big cock show began. And they weren't interested at all in the chuck-wow show. How can a gay guy not be interested in cock??
Drinks 350 baht.
Sorry, I get lost - we started in Bangkok ended up in Burma - where is this please?
