Land of the Thunder Dragon

Bhutan’s Crown Prince Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck visit my country in 2006 to celebrate King of Thailand. After that the rate of travelling from Thailand to Bhutan went up double!! Handsome and well-mannered, the Crown Prince of Bhutan has become to the talk of Thailand. He completed his studies in the Foreign Service Program from Oxford University, national defense from National Defense College in India, and innovations in governance from Kennedy School of Governance, the United States.

The Kingdom of Bhutan is a landlocked nation in South Asia, located at the eastern end of the Himalaya Mountains and is bordered to the south, east and west by India and to the north by the Tibet Autonomous Region of the People’s Republic of China. Bhutan is a small country (same size like Switzerland) and it doesn’t connect to the ocean.

Since Bhutan is a small country and is not well-known by people. It used to be “one of the most isolated nations in the world”, but when all the technology changed, this country has opened the door. In 2006 business week rated Bhutan the happiest country in Asia and the eighth happiest country in the world. The state religion of this country is Vajrayana Buddhism. If you go to travel in Bhutan, the things that you can buy are handmade products and imported from India and Nepal. Bhutan doesn’t have big a factory in the country, that’s why they have to import products from neighbors. If your main purpose is to shop, Bhutan might not be a good destination, but if you are a stamp collector, you are in the right place. The stamps in Bhutan have various styles such as rectangular, triangle, circle, or 3D. Most travelers in Bhutan will spend most of the time looking around this small country to see their beautiful culture. The major activity in this country is hiking and trekking. People said the regular time of one hiking/trekking trip will take 11 days.

I found many fantastic pictures of this country in a Thai website. I can’t post all the pictures in my page. So, I just put the link under “Related blogs & Links” for you guys to check it out. You might not be able to understand the language above the pictures but just look. I think the pictures already have the meaning itself.
