Set off on a scenic coastal drive from Bangkok to Hua Hin with an en-route stop at a local salt flat and barn nestled in a small town of Banleam, Petchaburi. Learn the traditional way of salt farming, tour around the salt flats, and then embark on a DIY LAAB salt workshop, followed by local authentic lunch.
Today’s tour will begin at 08:30. Set off after breakfast on this scenic coastal route from Bangkok to Hua Hin, a serene beach town perfect for a summer vacation. The drive takes approximately 3 hours, passing through the city sprawl before entering the countryside, where you'll be surrounded by local life, nature, salt flats, and charming coffee shops along the way.
On the way, make a stop at Yunggleau Banleam, a small local salt farm and barn that has been established for decades, with the business passed down from generation to generation to preserve the traditional method of salt farming. Here, you’ll receive a brief introduction to the farm’s history and the salt farming process. Take a short tour around the salt flats and try using the salt vehicle on the fields. Then, embark on a LAAB salt workshop, where you’ll use a variety of local ingredients such as sea salt (salt flower), dried red onion powder, dried Thai mint, dried cilantro, dried chili powder, dried spring onion, dried kaffir lime leaf powder, and ground roasted jasmine rice. The instructor will explain the steps for mixing the ingredients and the proper proportions. Finally, place your mixture in a small bottle with a wooden spoon, making a perfect souvenir to take home. The workshop lasts around 20-30 minutes.
Following the workshop, enjoy a delicious lunch served at the salt barn’s restaurant. After lunch, continue your drive to Hua Hin for an overnight stay.(L)
