Gay Yangon: Where men meet male meat

Lasting impressions from gay Myanmar

By Suzy Size, your gay guide through Asia and the world

One good thing about the erratic Wifi at Clover hotel, Suzy had to take her laptop frequently to the Amber Café which is naturally listed in the Pink Pages of Sticky Rice Gay Guide Asia and Gay Guide World Yangon). Their Wifi, though slowly at times, always worked. The Amber Café is the coffee shop of East Hotel which is located very central, a really lazy walking distance, from the Sule Pagoda. Suzy inquired about rooms and they are 60 US$ a night. Your heroine would have certainly moved there, but they had – what a pity! - no vacancies at all. So on her second last night in (so far not so gay) Yangon Suzy Size returned to the Amber Café around 6 pm for her Wifi and more…

Look, gay visitor of Yangon or Myanmar in general, our kind is not easily fooled: There is definitely a gay undertone at said café and hotel lobby. The interior is well designed, somebody with some taste was involved. And they have the cutest waiters and male receptionists you can think of. The German term “Augenweide” (feast for the eyes, eye candy) summarizes what the distinct gay visitor will experience here.

Ergo: Miss Size could practically smell the meat here and was now getting hungry or horny, if you wish. On her next visit to gay Yangon, she will most certainly lodge here and order lots of things from that very promising room service.

It was getting dark by now and Suzy Size had done all her mails and internet stuff she wanted. With little enthusiasm your dutiful heroine wanted to check that infamous pedestrian bridge in front of the Lion World Pub which was described by a user of Sticky Rice Gay Guide Asia and Gay Guide World as being a gateway to heaven: According to said earlier gay visitor of Yangon, the young Myanmar men looking for a boyfriend congregate here… And when your horny heroine arrived, quite some activity was going on there in the dark. Several young men were walking on that heavenly bridge over troubled waters. It took not longer than three minutes till a cute one stood besides your heroine and started one of those typical conversations.

Myanmar revisited: The gay meat is found

Where was your sentinel to gay Yangon from?

What was her age?

Was she married?

Suzy always counters this one with an answer she once got from a very obvious hairdresser in the Philippines:

She is VERY single.

After this revelation the negotiations with that owner of a nice smile and sizeable and juicy ass packed in a longyi (Burmese sarong) could start immediately and in earnest: The good looking guy was 24 years old and looked his age too, but had no ID card with him to proof that. He needed 15000 Kyats (about 18 US $) remuneration for his priceless services. The short time room in the love hotel – conveniently located just around the corner somewhere over there in the dark – was also reasonably priced at 5000 Kyats. But your horny heroine was reluctant to do that deal right now.

Suzy Size had her precious laptop with her – containing all her vital notes on gay Yangon and the gay world at large, including the sacred phone number of Darick darling in Belem - on that so terribly helpful pedestrian bridge in otherwise badly lit Yangon. Was she really going with her irreplaceable laptop with a strange young man into an unknown short time hotel, probably located in an obscure alley? Furthermore that guy could be underage, even though he looked 24 years old. Had not J., a user of this Website suggested:

“ONE warning: The government does not care who you have sex with but NOT underage! They will deal with you!”

And Suzy Size was terribly hungry, too, and wanted to enter the Lion World bar and restaurant as well for a close look, to be able to tell it all here about gay Yangon.

So finally your terribly smart heroine made a date with that fine and promising young man for 2 pm next day on that very Yangon pedestrian bridge. She told him to bring his ID card with him and they would thereafter proceed to heaven at that nearby short time hotel, in broad daylight.

But for now your heroine entered the Lion World bar and restaurant, ordered one of those ice cold Myanmar draught beers, seafood vermicelli and took a very close look.

This was obviously the gay meeting place of Yangon, the ideal hunting ground for your heroine, Bingo! Just behind your heroine was an effeminate farang staring around for prey. Many of the cute waiters know the game too. The favorite touched the hand of your heroine when she later was leaving and moved some fingers over the palm, signaling, yes, we can, I am willing and available. Suzy should have waited till 11 pm when his shift ends and taken him to her hotel, but she was too tired and tomorrow was another day. A cute Burmese guest in elegant pants and a smart phone smiled at your heroine several times, but she waited too long to invite him over; when she was ready for action, he had left.

Suzy watched the incredible “fashion show” featuring ladies only and made eye contact with several more interesting boys and men, but finally gave in to her tiredness (call it old age, if you wish) and went home.

Tomorrow was another day and she had a sex date for 2 pm already, sweet dreams were guaranteed, and getting laid in Yangon too.

But, alas, when your horny heroine punctually – she is Swiss! - returned next day to that heavenly Yangon pedestrian bridge in broad daylight, it was awfully hot and completely deserted.

Suzy Size waited half an hour in the terrible heat. But that horrible hustler and cock teaser never arrived! And when Suzy Size tried her luck there again, later that day, in the dark, two policemen where there and all those considerate young men had vanished.
