Bokepyin
Skip unless you are changing buses between Myeik and Kawthoung: no documented sights, and the road stop is the only reason to get off.
Bokepyin is a small township in Tanintharyi Region on the road between Myeik and Kawthoung. Flights from Yangon are listed by Myanmar National Airlines but are uncertain and often cancelled at short notice, so confirm before you plan around them. Treat the town as a transport stop, not a destination.
