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.“

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.
