===Dawei Airport===

The airport serves as the domestic airport for the city of Dawei and the neighbouring towns. The government plans to upgrade the airport to serve as a hub for tourism.

===Dawei Railway Station===

It is the southernmost station and terminus in Myanmar. However the railway was partly constructed for a further 40&nbsp;km approximately to the south towards Min Dat bridge and south Myanmar. Work ceased on this line in about 2012 but several partly constructed sections with bridges over rivers are visible on Google Earth.
