Untouched country: Bhutan only started allowing tourists in the 1970s and has a population of just 700,000

ယေန ့မွစ ႏွစ္တစ္ရာတုိင္.....

FIVE THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT BHUTAN

* Bhutan was united by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, a Buddhist lama, in the early 17th century after he fled persecution in Tibet. 
* The population is predominantly Buddhist, with Hindu as the second religion.
* Country was admitted to the UN in 1971, having had observer status for three years.
* Country lifted ban on television and the internet in 1999 in bid to 'modernise' Bhutan.
* It is home to some of the most rare wildlife, including the Bengal tiger, greater one-horned rhinoceros and clouded leopard.

Bhutan, known as the 'Land of the Thunder Dragon', has been happy to promote a Shangri-la image with its snow-capped peaks and largely untouched forests.
Tourism was only allowed in the 1970s, and when the first car arrived in the 1950s many people thought it was a fire-eating dragon.
A successful monarchy may be key to bringing stability to a kingdom in the centre of a region wracked by civil war and conflict.
Neighbouring Nepal's monarch was recently abolished, while India absorbed the Himalayan kingdom of Sikkim and China did the same with Tibet.
King Wangchuck said: 'I will follow in my father's footstep. My father set the bar very high.
'He was a wonderful leader. We will try to live up to expectations.'
The new king, a keen basketball player and archer, has dropped the family's reclusive and elitist image.
He lives in a cottage in Thimphu and often invites his subjects for tea.
He has spent months touring Bhutan's remote villages - often walking among villagers holding his bride-to-be by the hand.
