Ancient Salt Mine  
บ่อเกลือพันปี (ต.โพธิ์ อ.นครไทย)  
 Address:        
 Known as:        
 Description:   The well is located just outside a village in Phitsanulok Province, near the provincial border with Loei. On the main road are several stalls selling small bags of salt, with larger bags on the road side, these, I suspect, are to be transported elsewhere for sale.
The salt originates from a small, single well, elaborately presented. The well is at the end a short street, back from the main road. Production involves scooping a small bucket of water from the well, which is then placed in pans where the water evaporates. Then the resultant salt is placed in an open wicker basket. Here the ladies of the village whack the damp salt, drying it out, while chatting about the concerns of the day.
