What you will see
Kyaukpyu is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 17:49:19 local time, the Moon hides 6.5% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 17:20:27 and ends at 18:17:04, 57 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 13° above the horizon, towards the west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Kyaukpyu.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 3,334 km south-west of Kyaukpyu.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is El Dibir, about 4,602 km west, where totality lasts 3 m 26 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
Eye safety guide: Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses, except during totality.
