I just saw this post on Lonelyplanet's Thorntree forum (see link below). It seems that travel to a number of places is now permitted (no changes to Kayin State have been mentioned so far) but one of the most interesting additions is that the road from Mawlamyaing (Moulmein) to Dawei is now open, no need to take a boat or flight anymore. Previously I think the limit was Thanbyuzayat or Ye. At least one person has made the overland journey between Mawlamyaing and Dawei recently.

So it seems that overland travel without a tour operator to Myeik is possible. Is that possible on western passports too?
Is there a way to get from Myeik to one of the Mergui Islands and head from there to Kawthaung and leave Mynamar to Thailand?
