Myeikမြိတ်
Spend 2 days in Myeik to see town sights and take a short island trip; skip if you only have a day.
Myeik is the gateway to the largely untouched Mergui Archipelago and has a modest town centre with markets, a big reclining Buddha and fresh seafood. One night covers the basics; a second day lets you visit a nearby island or the harbour market.
