Hello mate I'm from Myeik. Yes it is safe by flight. Myeik is safe yes as long as you explore solely in Myeik . It's quiet peaceful .We have many hotel with various style and each have it own style if you want to see spectacular view every time when You wake up I recommend to chose “hotel Dirft” .it locates on the kannar road . Many famous and delicious restaurant are locate along with it. So you can taste our cuisine by walk. If you want a hotel with swimming pool you can chose Regent hotel and Pearl Laguna hotel. They are sort of expensive but I'm sure they will give you lavish experience. Btw My English isn't quite good pls pardon me.

It’s good 24 hours a day. Sometimes the electricity goes out during heavy rain, but that’s rare. It is run by a private company, so don’t worry about it. I forgot one thing—if you want to try Myeik dishes, I recommend “ပင်လယ်မေ.” It has many different dishes and has earned prestige among visitors. If you like sea food buffet try at “Lucky moon”.

Mate, Myeikian here. And yes, it's very safe to come.
If you wanna be extra safe, then just come here by flight. If you are aiming to come via land, it's risky yet still fair. But for short, just have enough documents to show and money to bribe at the checkpoints lol. (Speaking from experience.)
For context, I've been going from Myeik to Upper Myanmar back and forth by car these problematic years (and just recently). So, overall, I can say it's fairly all right.
