This island, located directly opposite Myeik's harbour, is named for its two prominent hills. A large, hollow reclining buddha, Atula Shwethalyaung , lies at the foot of rocky, jungle-covered Padet Hill to the south. At 66m it’s the third-longest reclining buddha in Myanmar – but with a twist: it’s a hollow cement form with an interior walkway lined with comic-strip-like stories of the buddha’s past lives.
Boats can be chartered from the small jetty at the west end of Pyi Taw Thar St (round trip K3000).
