A village called “Ban Bo” in Thoulakhom District is renowned for its salt extraction. Located some 60 kilometers from the capital Vientiane, the majority of inhabitants earn a part time living by producing salt. Traditional extraction methods remain in use, despite modern processes being commonly available today.
