See how ancient salt is made and stop by popular spots in Bo Kluea District.

Bo Kluea District is about 80 kilometers from Nan city. It is a small district famous for making salt on a mountain that is like no other, called “The World’s Only Mountain Salt Pond”, which is over 800 years old. Currently, the villagers still boil salt in the traditional way by scooping the salt water from the pond and sending it through bamboo poles to the reservoir. The villagers of Bo Kluea boil salt in a pan for about 4-5 hours to let the salt water evaporate. Then they use a spatula to scoop the salt into a basket that is hung above the pan so that the salt water flows into the pan. They do this continuously until the water in the pan is completely dry, then they scoop the salt water from the pond and add it back in. After that, they put it in bags and sell it in front of their houses. Nan salt does not contain iodine like sea salt, so iodine must be added before it reaches the consumer. In addition to the ancient salt ponds, there is also a famous cafe called “Hud Wela Cafe”, an ozone source in Nan Province, located in Ban Sapan. #Salt pond #Nan #Nan gai
