Three years ago, Thailand Knowledge Park (TK Park), a state-owned educational complex, joined with Samut Sakhon city hall in holding the "Salt Route at Samut Sakhon" exhibition. Samut Sakhon is a leading province in sea salt farming. At 57, Ubon Suasri has spent his life in salt farming in Samut Sakhon, learning techniques from his parents. Salt farms are divided into various plots to ensure separation of substances such as gypsum which is crystallised and left behind in the early stages. One by one, his salt fields have closed down over the past three years as young people turn their backs on farming.
