January 11, 200917 yr Does anyone have a contact [email, etc.] for a reportedly gay Myanmar group in Chiang Mai? Do they have a web site? I have been told that they have been there for some time apparently with western security funds. I am trying to get in touch with them.
January 11, 200917 yr Sounds like a group called Amnesty International. While not a gay group they do help many refugees relocate.
January 12, 200917 yr I spent some time googling to try and find any group that seems similar and can not find anything. How or where did you hear about this group?
January 14, 200917 yr Author Maybe they don't exist anymore. I heard about this group several years ago in Chiang Mai. Recently a contact in Yangon ask if I could make contact with them. For those interested in 'the cause', gay life is growing fast in Yangon and now Mandalay. Next month will be the first 'social' that the gay boys have ever had. Will gather at a restaurant to eat and meet. An even bigger 'meet' is being planned for the New Year in April. We plan to do spread the word much wider. Sorta waiting to see how the first one goes!
January 15, 200917 yr For those of you relatively new to this message board, Nikom has a great deal of experience in Burma and has been an excellent source of information. You might want to do a search for his previous posts and read what he has to say. He has been perfectly willing to answer whatever questions he can. I wouldn't dream of a trip to Burma without first consulting Nikom.
