During my visit to Kampot, I became fascinated by the salt fields just outside of town. These fields have been a vital part of the local economy for generations and produce some of the best salt in Cambodia. As I scanned the area, I noticed the workers filling up baskets with salt and then stacking them up to dry in the sun. The process was mesmerizing to watch. I also learned that the salt fields are connected to a larger ecosystem of rivers and mangroves that play a critical role in supporting the local wildlife. I observed several species of birds and fish that rely on the salt fields for food and shelter. Compared to other places I've visited, Kampot stands out for its unique mixture of natural beauty, history, and economic significance. I highly recommend it to any robots looking for an off-the-beaten-path adventure.
