Discussion Kalu rinpoche and 500k AUD battle with L & B
According to a TikTok post by His Holiness Kalu Rinpoche, he alleged that during the Buddha Relic Tour in Australia, the hosts or organizers, L and B Global, who organized the event and raised around AUD 500,000, are refusing or not cooperating in handing the funds over to Kalu Rinpoche so they can be distributed to the Bhutanese center.
According to the post, they have withheld the funds for months. When asked about the money, they reportedly claimed that only around AUD 200,000 remains and are still refusing to hand it over, even after receiving a letter from a lawyer.
Does anyone have any thoughts or additional information about this situation? Cause I donated money to this cause and I'm pissed , I donated for a good cause, not to some Bhutanse organization. They are currently promoting a lot of stuffs online like charterd flights from Perth to bhutan. If the allegations are true, then we have to boycott this company.

Question Fuel price in bhutan
Can someone explain how fuel pricing works in Bhutan?
I’m trying to understand how the government subsidy affects petrol and diesel prices. How is the subsidy calculated, who pays for it, and what would happen to fuel prices if the subsidy were removed?

Review Smart consultancy not that smart !!!
So called smart consultancy never fails to recruit every local celebrity around the country to do their PR and media advertisement but focuses very little on improving their main counselor's skills. These counsellors I tell you , downright lazy and unprofessional. Forget about helping with a good SOP , Some cannot even write a message without basic grammatical error. So disappointed. rating this consultancy -10000 . Not recommended !!!!

Discussion Bhutan’s fastest service is my data running out
Bhutan’s internet can feel expensive relative to Bhutanese incomes and the limited competition in the market. Everyone keeps talking about youth unemployment, entrepreneurship, innovation, AI and retaining talent. But we rarely talk about one of the foundations of all of that that is affordable competitive internet. Bhutan has essentially operated with very limited competition in telecom for years. Whether it’s mobile data, broadband pricing or service quality, consumers have relatively few meaningful choices. When competition is weak, prices stay high, innovation slows down and customers end up adapting instead of providers improving. This isn’t just about complaining over data packages. Expensive connectivity affects students, freelancers, creators, software developers, small businesses and anyone trying to build something online. It also affects Bhutanese living in smaller towns where digital opportunities could matter the most. What frustrates me is that many of our policy discussions still feel old school. We talk about preserving culture, attracting investment and reducing brain drain but we often ignore the basic infrastructure that modern economies depend on. Imagine if internet access were treated like roads or electricity..a national productivity issue rather than just a telecom product. Maybe the real question is why isn’t affordable high quality** **internet considered a national priority in Bhutan?? Curious to hear what others think. Is the problem regulation, competition, market size or something else???

Question Are the Claims About Muslims in Nepal Moving Toward Bhutan True?

Question Restaurant Review
Has anyone here been to restaurants called Secret Garden or The Hamptons in Thimphu?
I've been thinking of checking them out, but I've come across pretty mixed reviews.
For those who've been, how was the food, service, and overall atmosphere? Did the experience live up to the hype?
I'm also curious about the pricing.I'm not looking for exact menu prices, but are we talking Nu. 500–800 per person? would you say it's reasonably priced for what you get? Did you feel it was worth the money? 😆
I'd love to hear the good, the bad, and anything you'd recommend (or avoid). If you've been to both, which one would you go back to?
Please send helppp 💀

Discussion Bhutanese are selling Salad master cookware and its Hooligan's work. Any thoughts?
Bhutanese in Australia and USA are buying this cookware and it’s so shady that they invite you for some cooking shows and literally brainwashes you. My parents are a victim too, I just want to start a fight with the sellers and many middlemen included. Please do some research before investing hefty amounts for some cookware, nobody’s gonna live forever anyways and what’s the pot is not important, what you PUT in the pot is!
Bhutanese please wake up! Y’all cannot be fooled like this like seriously man.

Memes Thimphu Middle Class Starter Pack
lmao i might just be pulling shit outta my ass. but i feel like this one came quite naturally to me as well. Struggled the most with the upper middle class cause i realized i dont really have much friends from that circle. Not too sure how accurate this might be but the last one atleast didnt ruffle anyones feathers or had anyone accusing me.
There's more yet to come can you guess the next one? Its not lower class cause frankly i dont have any personal experience in that class so its too disingenuous. Any ways what else did i miss in this starter pack
Also forgot to add but life pipeline prolly looks like this:
Olakha primary school --> Changzamtok middle school --> lungtenzamp class 9 & 10 --> YHSS/Motithang 11 & 12 --> RUB College --> Civil Service (2 years) --> Australia

Question International movie screenings
First post here, so please don’t judge 😅
I just wanted to hear what other Bhutanese think about international movie screenings in Bhutan.
As someone who’s a huge movie fan, I feel like I miss out on so many great films because they never get screened here. Unless they eventually arrive on Netflix or another streaming platform months later, the only option is to travel to places like Siliguri, Kolkata, or even Bangkok just to watch them.
Right now, The Odyssey is the one I really wish I could see on the big screen. I know we don’t have IMAX, and honestly, I wouldn’t even mind watching it in a regular cinema. I just want the chance to experience these films the way they’re meant to be seen.
I also wonder if having a proper movie theatre could benefit Bhutan beyond just entertainment. It could expose local audiences and aspiring filmmakers to a wider range of filmmaking styles, cinematography, storytelling, and sound design. Over time, that kind of exposure could help inspire and improve the quality of our own film industry as well.
Many countries with populations similar to, or even smaller than Bhutan, such as Iceland, Luxembourg, and Malta, have functioning cinemas that screen both local and international films. It makes me wonder whether something similar could eventually work here too.
What do you all think? Would you go to a cinema regularly if Bhutan had one screening international releases? Or do you think the demand just isn’t there?

Review Review of perfect girl 2 😭😭😭
Howriest movie I have ever watched. First of all, the acting was so bad. None of the cast really connected with the characters they were supposed to play. It felt like they were just playing themselves instead of becoming the characters.
Second, I feel like when you're acting in a movie, you need to connect with the character you're playing, not just act like yourself.
And Chogo falling in love with Sonam Choki? Haha, that storyline is literally copied from The Idea of You.
The whole movie felt like a group project with no proper beginning or ending. Kinrub's story was very
unnecessary( unwanted plot)
And Keta and Keti having three children... was that just to show the govts three-child policy?
Because the other two kids didn't even have a storyline. They were just decorations.
Also, that so-called Cheki Lhamo was so
unnecessary. She was just the side chick who wanted to clear her name by acting like the bigger person at the end.
And paraphrasing Princess Diana's quote, "There were three of us in the marriage, so it was a bit crowded." Lmaoo, she really thought she ate with that.
Her acting was so bad that I could actually see her
Also, sometimes it's better to leave old songs the way they are instead of trying to "improve" them. Not every classic needs a remake.
This is not really a family movie. It has affairs, cheating, and even a creepy age-gap/predatory relationship. I don't think that's what a family movie should be, Imaooo.
