[2025 Bo Kluea Attraction] Travel Guide for Sin Thao Rock Salt Pond (Updated Jul)

#Natural attractions “The only mountain salt pond in the world” which is over 800 years old Now, there are only 2 public salt ponds left, which the villagers call the North and South ponds. In addition, salt is processed into various products such as spa salt, foot bath salt, and salt flower soap for tourists to buy as souvenirs. From talking to the old villagers, they said that in the past, when the villagers got salt, they had to deliver it to the city by using the power of cows. The way there took 7 days and the way back took 7 days, totaling 14 days or sometimes more. 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. After that, the salt water scooped from the pond is boiled in a pan for about 4-5 hours to let the salt water evaporate. Then, they use a paddle to scoop the salt into a basket hung above the pan so that the salt water flows down into the pan. They do this continuously until the water in the pan is completely dry, then scoop the salt water from the pond and add it back in. ⛳️ Tambon Bo Kluea Tai Bo Kluea District, Nan Province 55220 #TravelThailand #ThailandIsGood #ThaiTravelThailand #SecondaryCitiesMustTry #Nan

Take a tour of the 800-year-old ancient salt pond, “Mountain Rock Salt”, the only one in the world. 😘 Located in a beautiful location surrounded by green mountains with a natural stream flowing through it. “Bo Kluea District”, Nan Province … It got this name because it is famous for producing mountain salt. This is because the water in this pond is naturally occurring salt water and still keeps bubbling up all the time. It has never dried up. It is truly amazing. Geological data assumes that this area was once a sea in the Permian era in the Paleozoic Era (between 250-299 million years ago). Therefore, there should be a layer of underground salt rocks or a dome in this area amidst the natural valley. Currently, salt is still boiled in the ancient method by scooping the salt water from the pond through bamboo poles to a reservoir. Cut and boil in a pan for 4-5 hours to evaporate the water. Then, you will get salt crystals. Then use a spatula to scoop and put it in a basket, hanging it above the pan. Let the salt water flow down into the pan until all the water in the pan is dry. This salt pond has been around for at least 800 years. Currently, there are only two ponds left at Ban Bo Luang, Bo Nuea and Bo Tai. 😋 #JaiSaiPaiPhuKhao

Bo Kluea is located in Bo Kluea District, approximately 80 kilometers from Nan city. Salt plays a significant role in the community of Nan people and surrounding towns, including Sukhothai, Lan Xang, and Lanna, because these areas are far from the sea. This was one of the reasons why King Tilokarat of Lanna came to invade Nan city in order to occupy Bo Kluea, which was considered an important strategic factor at that time. Nan city was therefore incorporated into the Lanna Kingdom since then. #TeamNortheast

The salt ponds in Nan will start from the end of Buddhist Lent to the beginning of Buddhist Lent. Salt production will not be done during the rainy season because it will dilute the natural saltwater. The salt production process is to scoop the saltwater from the pond using a weighted beam to scoop up the saltwater. The saltwater will be boiled in a salt boiling house, which has a double-stove made of clay with a firewood compartment in the middle of the bottom and a compartment for salt boiling pans with two compartments on top. The salt is boiled for about 4 hours until the salt crystallizes. During this time, a wooden paddle must be used to stir and add more saltwater to prevent the salt from sticking to the bottom of the pan. When the salt crystallizes, a “pan” will be used to scoop the salt out of the pan and put it in a “sa”, a woven bamboo basket. The sa with salt is then hung over the stove for another 4 hours to allow all the water to evaporate. The dried salt will be stored in a “suan”, which is a large bamboo container used to store salt. Boiling salt in one stove will produce about 15 kilograms of salt.

Ancient Salt Wells are located in Bo Kluea District, approximately 80 kilometers from Nan city. They have been an ancient source of mountain salt since ancient times, and today, locals still boil salt using the ancient method of scooping water from the wells and using it to make various products such as soap, spa salt for scrubbing the skin, flower salt for skin care, and salt for personal consumption. In the back, locals bring forest products and products to sell, and there are beautiful photo spots. #VisitNan

When you visit Nan Province, “Bo Kluea District” is one of the districts that you must intentionally visit and should not miss at all.

For example, Bo Kluea Sinthao, an 800-year-old ancient mountain salt mine, the source of the Nan River, Sapan Village, Ban Wer terraced rice fields, Khun Nan National Park, Phap Pha Road, etc. Food is also important.
