Notes on Bhutan Travel 2 (Security / Shopping)

We will explain in detail the things you should be aware of when traveling in Bhutan (security, price circumstances, shopping, etc.).

About security

From a global perspective, Bhutan is a safe country. However, please be careful when managing valuables, as damages such as picking up and picking up have also occurred. Also, in the urban areas, theft and quarrels have occurred, so avoid going out alone at night to avoid getting involved.

Prices situation

In Bhutan, you are rarely told to be expensive because you are a foreigner. You can buy souvenirs and luxury items at supermarkets and shops at lower prices than in Japan.

About shopping (souvenirs)

Textile products are famous in Bhutan, as men wear colorful woven national costumes called men and women women.
Other items include handmade paper, silverware, and wood carving. These can be purchased at local craft stores.
You can also purchase postage stamps that are slightly different from Japan, such as scented stamps and cloth stamps.

About sightseeing spots

Because of the national character with a strong faith in religion (Buddhism), please take off your hat and take off your shoes when you enter a place where a temple, zombies, or national flag is raised. You may not be able to take photos in temples and zombies, so be sure to check them before shooting. In addition, please be sure to follow the instructions of the local guide because individual actions of travelers are restricted.
In Bhutan, smoking is now completely banned in the country. Smoking is not allowed in temples, so be sure to smoke at your accommodation.
