Stop At: Samut Sakhon, Samut Sakhon, Samut Sakhon Province

The whitish salt field, not a rice field, of course. A special bonus tour for our guests who join our floating and railway market tour in 2020. This sea salt is produced by Thai local wisdom. The salt farmer will rotate the sea water in different levels matching the strength of wind and sunlight. The rotation will continue until the salt becomes a “salt mountain” which are ready for cooking, skincare, and agriculture.

There are also viewing platforms between the trestles to give you a view of the river as well as to give you a place to get out of the way if you’re on the bridge when a train comes.
