An ancient salt well in the middle of a valley, the only one in the world!!

Now that we have arrived in Nan Province, we did not miss the chance to experience the wonders of the ancient salt ponds in Nan Province, which are over 800 years old. They are naturally occurring salt ponds in the middle of a valley, the only one in the world. It is considered another wonder of the world. Here, the villagers still inherit the wisdom of making ancient salt by boiling it. They scoop up the salt water from the pond and leave it in a large container. Then boil it in a pan for about 4-5 hours, letting the water slowly evaporate until the salt crystallizes. Then scoop the salt into a basket that is hung above the pan to drain the water. When the water in the pan is almost dry, scoop up the salt water from the pond and add it again. This is repeated repeatedly. The salt obtained is real rock salt, which does not contain iodine like sea salt. Currently, it has been processed into various products, such as spa salt scrubs, salt flower soap, and others, which are sold here for tourists to buy as souvenirs. If you come to visit Nan, this is another place that we would like you to stop by because it is not easy to find and is only available here. 📍Sinthao Mountain Salt Mine 259 Page 1 Municipality, Bo Kluea Tai Subdistrict, Bo Kluea District, Nan Province #Natural attractions #Northern cities worth visiting #Ancient salt mines #Visiting salt mines #Nan #Nan is slow and steady #Traveling in Thailand
