Hard to find info on where you can go and who you can do.

>going anywhere that doesn't have 1000 vlogs and travel blogposts describing everything down to the smallest detail
Not happening. Modern day travelers are stupid sheep who get herded from one place to the next by their influencer shepherds. Every now and then a pair sheep go astray for a short time before hurrying back to rejoin the flock.

>>2781773
so true. real travelers™ just pull up to active war zones without any prior preparation, because they are special free thinkers and not like the rest of the sheeple.

Im going there on chinese intel for girls and clubs but I really want some refugee gf to invite me into her delapidated family hut. Hopefully they serve me some pad thai??

As always, when traveling off the beaten path, you go wherever you can go, stay wherever you can stay, and forget about places where you can't go or can't stay.

Inviting strange men into one's home is not the norm in that part of the world. If you want to be served food, go to a restaurant. Low GDP per capita doesn't in any way correlate with lack of morals or standards of behavior. Burmese people are known for being graceful and well-behaved.

>>2781773
it's normal to avoid an active warzones with unstable local government, martial law, curfew, checkpoints and a high risk of kidnapping/violence

>>2782775
Nah. I'm asking where the brothel iz, dawg.
They be gettin desperate by nowz.

>>2782790
Nahhh

>>2782775

Sounds like some "noble savage" nonsense

Can you get a job teaching English here?

>>2781773
fuck going to destabilized hellholes. I went to Bogota in 2021 and I'll never go somewhere sketchy again. Being white makes you a target regardless of your tact

>>2783036
Bet you were one of the dumfucks who stay in Candelaria. Safety in numbers is a joke. The more tourists are around, the more likely you will encounter scumbags looking to take advantage of tourists. I visited Bogota in December 2020, saw very few white people, and while the city was quite unpleasant to someone on foot not used to urban blight and Third World traffic, I never felt unsafe or targeted.
>>2782797
Stay in Pattaya and stir spooge with the Indians and boomers. That's where you belong.

>>2783197
nah the massage girls are denying me in favor of Indians now - probably because I am too based - so I need to go find some of those yellow face paint faggots on the local scene and BKK is the main port of entry

>>2783198
>denying me in favor of Indians
It's time to end yourself desu.

>>2783367
Idk. I mean. Power outages. Curfew, even if nobody gives a shit. In youtube comments the myanmar people sound like pussies and whine about their moral viewpoints too much. Plus a lot left, does that mean hot girls left the country? Boys are getting conscripted so that's good to even out the ratio. Idk I bet the food sucks. Just seems a little inconvenient for little reward. Unless they have a real functioning underground red light area. Their clubs are full but clubs are kind of boring. Everything else is kind of shady like bus schedules and money conversions. Are they even that friendly or just weirdos? I mean...

>>2783456
>I mean
Next time take the dick out of your mouth when you're talking.

>If you don't like Thailand style nightlife, then next door is Cambodia. Try out Phnom Penh. It's not that great but some idiots love it and swear by it, and vibe with it.
Redpill me on this. Why do you not like it and why do some others like it?

If you're the sort of person that wants to check off the big sights for the 'gram, or won't give a few cents to beggers, then please don't come to Myanmar.

If you have the mind of a poet and can deal with dirt, heat, and poverty, and find beauty in sitting around dilapadated colonial buildings drinking sweet tea and fried snacks, then please come.

If you want to party, there are very few places open after sundown, but 19th street is the go-to place for raucous drinking these days.

>If you have the mind of a poet and can deal with dirt, heat, and poverty, and find beauty in sitting around dilapadated colonial buildings drinking sweet tea and fried snacks

allow my to translate:

I am in myanmar to do hardcore drugs. If you want to do hardcore drugs too, come here and remember to bring cash.

>>2785881
Anon will never recover from this.

>>2785875
Doesn't tell me anything about blackouts or currency exchange or locals attitudes or shrapnel danger or traveling up north and its shifting conflict lines sadly

>>2783198

kek

How much does yaba cost there

>>2787045
Idk but some guys I know got their visa I think. Still not convinced there will be enough desperate starving poon to participate, however. Getting around might be a bitch, too.

>>2781776

Tough call, hombre.

>you're in the dark alleyways and the streets are empty

>nooo uuu sound like a pussyyyy

>>2787184
Am literally and unironically on the same continent.
>without any prior preparation
I dunno bro, figure it out when I'm there.

>>2787185
>wow I'm a gay travel vlogger the airport is so empty haha and my hotel told me they cut power in the evenings and warned me about some scams
>I just pulled out some money at the 2200 ATM exchange rate! yay I'm rich
>I hope I don't have to sleep in a pool of my own sweat all night when the AC goes out haha lets go to the night market
>yum I love pad thai! let's flirt with some yellowface girls! manglabar!!!
>omg a disco club lets go inside and drink all night! ok! 100 short time okay coool! oh no we are locked inside until the morning
>lets take a bus to Bagan! 10 hour dusty journey! oh no the police want a bribe because I am foreigner 100 dolla
>woooooow a dirt temple and why is this villager cutie following me around inside it? here's a 50 dolla tip for being my tour guide?
>can I film your dirt hut?
>I want more pad thai! time to go back to bangkok!
>oh no an airstrike cluster munit-

There ya go.

I'd want to go to Mandalay and Bagan which I've been to before but seems more trouble than it's worth imo

>>2787189
Sounds comfy desu.

>>2787189
Pure SOVL.

>>2787189
I met a guy from Mandalay in a Vientiane hostel. He was proud of his city and said it's a great place to visit.

I'd go to Myanmar in the winter. It's farther north than some of you realize. Foggy cold mornings dipping down to 6 or 7 C, lovely 25 C afternoon sun, no need for A/C but you'll want to warm yourself around a fire in the morning if you didn't pack a Chinese puffy jacket.

Still, Laos makes more sense than Myanmar for a midwinter destination. Lao people are more friendly than the Burmese of Shan state that I encountered in Mae Sai. Laos is also full of brand-new guesthouses that rent for absurdly low nightly rates. Myanmar lodgings are much more scarce, which means higher prices and shitty broken-down furnishings.

How low are we talking?

One of my favorite places charged 140,000 kip per night for a room with A/C, hot water, a desk, and a view of the mountains. Very quiet.

>>2781521 (OP)
Ok guys can we stop the worthless green text deluge and get straight to the point:

Where are the clubs with freelancers in them?

This question is always answered first, THEN you can yap

Uh, there’s a literal Civil War going on there right now.

>>2788910
How many opportunities do you get to see one of those up close?
