Samyae Resort and I




Samyae Resort is a few minutes’ drive from Chamkhar town towards Trongsa highway. It lies just above the road after passing the current fuel depot. It is beautifully built in outmost Bhutanese style and architect.  

I had few hiccups when I heard the charge for the room. It mentally burned me. But, I did not hesitate to put up myself. Since, it was my first chance to be in such a big–budget place. 

Do I have all the money and power to live in a resort meant for foreigners were some questions that passed cold through my spine? However, I have controlled my emotion.

Indeed, it was my first time walking in such an expensive lane, equivalent to someone who can pay in dollars. Perhaps, before entering into the rooms, I have built all my courage to walk in like foreigners.  I have pretended as if I am used to living in a resort, and have walked thousand times in a such lavish room. For few days, I have all the courage tell my friends that I live in a resort.

My legs have shivered and my voice have stammered when the resort receptionist asked, 'sirs and madams which room would you all like to occupy'. Any room was my curt reply. 

I have sincerely requested the reception officer to give us the rooms that can give the dazzling view of Chamkhar town. I and my friend have got room number #408. Thank god! This room gave the best view not only of Chamkhar town but also of the whole valley. I took few images of the valley through the room.


I was amazed by the 'welcome' foot mat. I was stunned by the cleanliness and the arrangement of the room. I wish every hotel in the town have the same luxury. Every time I look for a hotel rooms, I am more concern about the safe and clean toilet. However, Samyae resort have the best toilet with running water facilities. Soap and toilet paper were also in place for use. I thank for the good housekeeping and good management. 

Room in Samyae Resort.

For few days, I can eat like a superstar. I can sleep like a superstar. I can act like a superstar. I can talk like a VIP to any foreigners without hesitation because I too share the same building. 

Cleaning, washing and arranging things have become a daily routine in the room. I also used to perfume myself before touching the pillow. I became more discipline and humble by the cleanliness of the room. 


Perhaps, it may be my last chance but it is not my last breath.

Golden Words Of King Jigme Singye Wangchuck

King Jigme Singye Wangchuck "...in particular, speaking for myself; my sorrow in having lost my own father is indeed very great.

The Story of Malika Chand.

There lived a schoolteacher named Malika Chand. She loved teaching and treated her students as she would, her own children. Nurturing their potential with great kindness. Her perennial motto was, 'Your,  I can is more important than your,  IQ .' She was known throughout her community as a person who lived to give. Who selflessly served anyone in need? Sadly, her beloved school, which had stood as a silent witness to the delightful progress of generations of children, succumbed to the flames of a fire set by an arsonist one night. All those in the community felt this great loss. But as time passed by, their anger gave way to apathy and they resigned themselves to the fact that their children would be without a school. "What about Malika?"   "She was different, an eternal optimist if there ever was one. Unlike everyone around her, she perceived opportunity in what had happened. She told all the parents that every setback offers an equivalent benefit ...
