Dawei

"Diversion in the Deep South Although currently a charmingly laid back tropical seaside town, there are big plans for Dawei. A proposed deep sea port and industrial zone will turn the sleepy outpost into a major gateway to the region. With funding for the project in doubt, however, change is still some way off meaning that visitors can enjoy its off-the-grid appeal for some time yet."
