Like in most of Asia,the lady did not want to look into the camera

            Several salt farms lie along the the “salt road,” as the road from Bangkok and on to Samut Sakhorn is sometimes called. Their combined output make the area the largest producer of the condiment in the country. Here is a friendly sales lady at the sales outlet of the salt farm just behind her. She was friendly enough but like most people in SE Asia, did not want to look directly into the camera. The salt farms work seasonally. Sea water is pumped into the fields and is allowed to gradually evaporate during the dry season between January and April. I visited in October, (the last visit here was in August 2002), so no wonder there was no one working on the fields at the time- it was just after rainy season and the occasional downpour was still an inconvenience to salt production.
