Jigme Singye Wangchuck - Modernization

Modernization

It has been noted that the fourth king ruled his people with orthodox views based on the traditions of Buddhism. Even to this day, traffic lights do not exist in the country, and by law everyone must wear traditional 14th century clothing. Since the beginning of his rule, television and internet access have become available. Tourism in Bhutan, however, remains low.

King Jigme Singye Wangchuck is the creator of GNH (Gross National Happiness).
