Nan (น่าน), Thailand - Welcome to Nan, one of the most beautiful and laid back provinces in Northern Thailand. Today we are going to Bo Kluea (บ่อเกลือ), the legendary natural salt wells. People have been coming to this village in the mountains for centuries to trade salt. It’s an amazing place to visit when you’re in Thailand and here’s a guide for what to do when you visit.
So the actual village is called Ban Bo Luang (บ้านบ่อหลวง), but most people just know it as Bo Kluea (บ่อเกลือ), the salt wells. It was about a 2 hour drive from the city of Nan to get to Bo Kluea (บ่อเกลือ) and the drive is spectacular.
Once you’re there, the main thing to do is visit the salt wells, which are right along the main road in the village, you can’t miss it. First have a look at the actual wells that produce salty water. Then you can navigate your way to one of the huts where they still boil the water over wood, to evaporate the water and leaf huge mineral salt crystals. Since times have changed, and people are no longer trading salt, the community has shifted to tourism - especially Thai local tourism, and they make a series of salt products that you can buy to support them.
Khao soi - 30 THB ($0.95) - We were getting hungry, so for lunch we had a delicious bowl of khao soi, Thai curry noodles. The restaurant is just past the first salt wells. Curry noodles were delicious and Aunty was friendly.
Highly recommended to visit Bo Kluea (บ่อเกลือ) when you visit Nan, Thailand!

    You Mark is my inspiration. Knowing my family traits that my gma came from Thailand and my gpa came from Cambodia. Back then he had to travel to Thailand to meet my grandma. When they met they moved to Cambodia and started a life there and had about 8 kids plus my mom. 1 didn’t make it on the way here due to the Khmer Rouge... My grandparents gotten so lucky and gotten sponsored! And can’t even believe my mom found the news article the day they came to America! So much to even say. You make me want to visit their old farms and family who is stuck in Thailand and in Cambodia.. my grandparents was the best cooks originally cooked from Cambodia and Thailand. But they have since passed.. Now my mom has all the ingredients to even pass down to me. I’m now third generation in my family to pass down the story, language and traits!
