Club 369 in Chinatown: Night life in Yangon

by bananes

Hello, Nightlife in Yangon is not so flourishing as in Thailand but some developments can be noticed here. For example, club 369 is one of the best and safest place to enjoy dancing (most young people, every Fridays there are thematique shows - latina, MTV drag queens, Song contests, machos, etc. with special DJ, even from Singapore) and possible hook up. This club is considered to be mix (gay friendly), with youth from upper middle and high class of the local society. No drugs. Security works very well. There have never been any fights or scuffling.. Music and dance floor is good, more spacious than in notorious and prostitute filled Park Royal. In 369 Club of course you might see some girlzz but they do not glue on you, they sit, dance and wait your attention..;)Entry fee is 3500 Ks = 3.5 US$ with a free jar of beer. All sorts of alcoholic drinks are available at the bar, but not so...

palace and emperor

by disaster53

If you are looking for a bit of company in yangon during the evening try the palace or the emperor, there are disco in the same building, (all taxi driver know them).The girls are nice and they stay with you all night for next to nothing, a bit shy but very nice indeed.

Right :) Back at...

by TeDMe

Right :)Back at Sangklaburi I met with the Dr of Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières) . I learned from him about the concentration of refugee camps around the area. The Thai Government doesn’t encourage visits to the camps and some are off-limits to foreigners. The Guesthouse owners will know where you can go. If you can they will appreciate any kind of elementary supplys you can bring. Any little gifts for the kids guarantee you a huge smile.

Mr.Guitar: Live Music in Yangon

by lemondrop

If you're in Yangon and it's live music you want, this is your place. It has a pleasant, laid back atmosphere. There is a stage with a live band, and tables where you can have a full meal while watching the show. Of course you can enjoy the music with a drink here as well. The people here, westerners and Burmese alike, all dress in wester style clothes. You aren't likely to see a single lyongi at this place.

Someones house: Karaoke(yes that's right)

by lemondrop

I was walking to dinner one night when I heard some music coming from a house beside the street. I stopped to have a look and saw that a large family was enjoying karaoke. They noticed me watching and invited me in. I sat down and watched each of them have a go at a song. Of course I was asked to sing a song, but they were all in Burmese and they had no Ramones on hand. If you get the chance to do this..Go for it ! You'll have a great time and you will feel like a celebrity. It happened to me in Nyaung Oo, but it could happen to you anywhere in Burma. Come as you are (leave your hotpants at home)

Aung Traditional Puppet Show: Puppet show

by lemondrop

When staying in Nyaung Shwe (Inle Lake) you will not find a swinging nightlife. Not to worry, this highly entertaining puppet show is perfect for an after dinner activity. Aung is a skilled puppeteer and puts on quite an amusing show. There is also a puppet shop here if you want to buy a unique souvenir or gift. Aung will teach you how to work your puppet. The show starts at 8:30, and he will put on an additional show if more people come by after the first one. Aung also has his own taxi and will drive you to the airport for a reasonable rate. casual

Beer bar in Mandalay: The secret of cheap beer

by AndreSTGT

I'm not a much of a beer drinker, but a glass of good beer on a hot Burmese night is not to be sneezed at.The problem is that beer is comparatively expensive in Burma. Most places only serve bottles, which cost anything between 900 and 1500 kyat (the price of four curries).The secret is to find one of the rare bars that serve draught beer. At this one in Mandalay you get a 0.3 glass of beer for 250 kyat (less than 30c).

Moustache Brothers Show: Mandalay

by Skorpios

During my trips I did not go out very often after dinner to attend a show, just the "Must see".The Moustache Brothers Show is one of the "Must see" in Myanmar.I put the pictures of this show in the "Local customs tips" since the "A-nyeint pwe" is a type of spectacle special from Burmese culture.Ticket kyats 2.000 Absolutely not.

Night market.

by A2002

There are not much nightlife like in other Western countries, to talk about in Myanmar. Perhaps a visit to the night market. It's quite interesting to see the types of things that they sell. You can also taste some "mohinga" at the night market. Another common type of food in the night market is pig's trotters. Fruits can also be bought from the night market. Casual.

Karaweik Restaurant: Cultural Show

by grets

The cultural show is included in the price, and is good in that each act is long enough to be interesting and short enough to not get boring. Some of the dances are very similar to the ones we've seen in Thailand, with the ogres and fancy clothes. There is also a puppet show, and the unusual aspect of this is that you can actually see the puppeteers too. One act which I really like is the puppets and real dancers all dressed the same and performing the same movements. I don't think much of the music, I'm sure it's an acquired taste - which I haven't acquired! The show finishes with a girl doing acrobatic manouvres with a ball.
