Gay activities in Myanmar Aug
2017
There was no dearth of cute boys,
I would even say Myanmar (as well as Cambodia) boys are cuter than Thai boys,
certainly they are slimmer and darker. I exchanged many a smile, in some cases
even look back at each other up to three times (when passing in opposite
direction, then the distance becomes too far). But I didn’t get involved with
any of them for various reasons:
Language
barrier. I don’t speak any Burmese, and most of them don’t
speak English. (Lame excuse: a friend doesn’t speak local languages, and his
English is rather poor, nonetheless he gets boys in every country he
visits.)
No
venues. There are no gay saunas or cruisy places that I know
of. There is only one gay massage in Yangon.
Can’t bring anyone
home. Hotel rules did not allow guests in all places I stayed
in. And the rooms were not nice by my standards, and I had my stuff spread
out.
Furthermore, everything I tried
in Thailand and that doesn’t work here, probably won’t work in Myanmar
either.
But here some of my attempts
and reports by others in chronological order:
A farang friend FF visited
Myanmar in 1984. When he came back to the hotel at night, all the staff were
sleeping in the reception hall. He beckoned one of the male staff to come to his
room, and gave him 1 USD afterwards. Minutes after the man was gone, another of
the male staff knocked on his door and said “I want a Dollar.”, and in the
course of the night FF had the entire male staff coming to his
room.
Another Farang friend FF (with
vast experience propositioning straight boys in many countries) visited Myanmar
some years ago. He reported everyone he laid his eyes on would have gone with
him, but they were all afraid of being seen with a foreigner / being reported to
police or whatever. But he managed to take one into the
bushes.
When I had dinner around 10 pm in
a local restaurant in central Kin Pun Sakhan (Kyaitko, base for trip to golden
rock), there was a group of male locals on the next table. One of them chatted
me up and quickly came to the point of offering me massage by lady. I showed him
some gay porn on my mobile, which was met with
indifference.
Online
dating
Not much activity compared to
Bangkok. I messaged two on gayromeo, one hasn’t read the message yet, the other
replied and we met on Sunday at his work place. Efficient communication, good
English, civilized, has been abroad, but not so much my
type.
On hornet, I messaged 7 (4 no
reply, 1 not his pictures, the other two inefficient communication). One
messaged me, not my type.
National Swimming Pool
I go to swimming pools mainly to
ogle at boys in swimwear, with swimming just a side activity for me. The
national swimming pool has a restaurant overlooking it, where I could sit in
shade and have a meal (extensive menu in Burmese and English,
delicious food at low prices) to see if it’s worth going in,
and it was.
View of swimming pool from
restaurant:
Open 9-12 and 13-16, closed on
Friday (wrong opening times on google maps, correction
submitted). Entry 1000 MMK for locals and 3000 MMK for foreigner. Lockers
are provided, but they were dusty/dirty and you have to bring your own padlock.
Shower, changing room, toilets nearby, all very basic. The changing rooms (with
shower) have a door that reaches from my knee to chest. There is no hook to put
your clothes (and floor is wet), I had to hang them over the door. Water in the
pool is ok (some turbidity, cannot see clearly to the ground). No restriction on
what you can wear, no need for cap for hair.
When I went on Sun 13aug2017 from
10:05-11:30 (when sky covered in the water, when clear sky out of pool into
nearby shade to avoid sunburn), there were about 50 others in and around, out of
which 10 cute boys. Exchanged smiles with some of them, and one chatted me up
and afterwards we (I, cute boy, and two of his friends) had lunch in the
restaurant. I would have paid for all 4 of us, but when it came to paying, the
most unusual thing happened: the cute boy insisted on inviting me. After some
weak protest I gave up and accepted the invitation. Unimaginable in
Thailand!
(You could argue that this is just a trick I haven't had before, but I told him that I leave Myanmar the next day, and will be back in January. He said when he comes to visit me in Germany, I can invite him, but that was just to save face and end the discussion, he has never been outside Myanmar. The invitation was genuine!)

We exchanged facebook, but the
big question is: what is he looking for with me? We chatted to the point that
both of us are single. Before I meet him again on my next trip, I have to make
my intentions clear to avoid wasting time.
Here our chat so far. You can interpret whatever you want in it. My messages preceded by CPFC, his by BurBoy or nothing. (When you copy conversations from facebook messengers, it does not copy who wrote the message.)

Buying underwear in Yangon
Similar to Thailand, underwear is sold on the street in Yangon, at about half the price (1000 MMK = 25 THB, where similar would be 50 THB in Thailand).
