On the auspicious occasion of the 6th Birth Anniversary of His Royal Highness Gyalsey Ugyen Wangchuck, the Royal Bhutanese Embassy in Bangkok joins the nation in offering our warmest felicitations and prayers for our beloved Gyalsey’s continued good health and happiness.

In an era defined by rapid urbanisation, soaring skylines and relentless competition for capital, the small Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan is attempting something radically different. In the southern plains of the country, a vast and ambitious project is underway: Gelephu Mindfulness City, which is a bold urban experiment challenging conventional ideas of growth by putting wellbeing at the heart of development. Drawing on the philosophy of gross national happiness, a new mindful city project shows how economic ambition, culture and nature can coexist. This is a fresh perspective on sustainable urban planning at a time of rapid regional change, raising questions about how cities can grow without losing their human scale or social purpose.
