It is not like liberal attitudes to pot elsewhere have completely removed the really bad and addictive drugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malathione Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Sorry for the dude but never heard of anyone farming salt before. Must be tough to make it grow in the rainy season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they mine salt here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo Kluea in Nan is one example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKEVN9Ch-FI Salt Farming is on the list of jobs prohibited to foreigners. Darn. Meth is a scourge here, surprised a 40 YO farmer is into it? And what was the motive? Seems like an angry response, esp. if beating after shooting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they mine salt here. A picture of my ex-wife's salt "farm" in Issan, about 30 km east of Ban Dung north of Udon Thani. Salt water is pumped into dry "paddies" and the water evaporated off, takes about 2 weeks. Dry season is prime salt time. Once the crust forms the salt is windrowed and then scooped into the baskets, the baskets taken to a storage hut. It's backbreaking work in extreme heat for not much money. Every year they take 10's of thousands of tons of salt out of this area. The coastal towns use sea water, same process 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
