Bhutan, a land of beautiful temples, abundant nature, and commonly dubbed the country with the world’s happiest people. There’s a lot to love about Bhutan, but one thing that has always stood out to me is the title used for Bhutan’s monarchy, which is really unique compared to other countries.
In Dzongkha, the official language of Bhutan, the nation’s reigning monarchs are called Druk Gyalpo. This translates into Thunder Dragon King, the Bhutanese head of state’s official title.
And I’m not gonna lie, you really can’t have a cooler name for a head of state than Thunder Dragon King, it soundly beats out my second favorite name for a modern head of state, which is Supreme Leader.
But that’s no...
