It's not, in fact the Andaman Sea has a lower salt content than most oceans. This is due to the inflow of fresh water from the Irrawaddy River. The salt content of the Andaman Sea ranges from 31.5-32.5‰ (parts per thousand) in summer and 30.0-33.0‰ in winter, compared to other oceans which have around 33‰ to 38‰.
