Secrets from Asia’s Most Mysterious Country
Hey everybody!
TH-cam has deemed this video inappropriate for advertisers, so I won't be making much money on it, and they'll hide the video from a lot of viewers.
I've been advised by TH-cam to censor the video and change the thumbnail, but I'm not going to do that. It's perfect as is, and I'd rather create a cool piece of art than dumb it down for a bigger audience.
So, I need your help...If you could do me a favor and like the video and share it with your friends, or consider joining the patreon, that would be a big help! This was a super ambitious and expensive video to pull off, so any help would be appreciated!
Patreon is 40% off till Christmas, btw
I'll leave a link here- but if you can't join, no problem at all, just a like and share would go a long way!
Thanks guys www.patreon.com/smallbrainedamerican
They just jealous that the concept of GDH completely obliterates the concept of GDP
That's a dick move man - no pun intended :P
TH-cam should rather delete your channel for spreading misinformation. One of the most trash youtuber ever.
I hope you get many rewards for your videos, they help many people. 😊
TH-cam can suck it! this is quality content!
Everyone's English is so good, that was astounding to see
Thank you. We study all subjects, except the national language in English since pre-primary in school.
@@PCT1695 Amazing! What a beautiful culture
That's why bhutan poor. See Korean Chinese, Japanese , use own language
Yeah they put a tremendous emphasis on education!
Damn he passed up on the anti-food-poisoning bread, what a shame lol
It was probably the bread lady who poisoned him! Should've taken that bread homie😮
😂😂😂😂😂
She tried to warn him
big oof.
Damn Watching this Vlog gave me feeling of Being in North Korea, they Put HIM in a big luxurious house alone, and tour guides tell stories and narrate stories that are being instructed from Govt.
vote for him to go myanmar again and meet Dan
Agreed. And get another designated driver so they can both enjoy themselves.
@@xfiringsquadx Thant is sober nowadays
@@Coleman_H Is that who everyone is referring to as "Dan"?
@@xfiringsquadx yes his name is Thant Zaw
@@Coleman_H Oh wow. Good for him. I wonder if sober includes things like betel nut too.
Imagine going to school for 6 years just to sit around and paint dongs all day... Dude is living the dream.
😂
Men only want one thing and its.....
Looks more like they are painting mandalas.
@@asurrealistworld4412 and dongs
Dude you have no idea how excited I get when I see a new SBA upload
thank you brother
so real
And you've just reminded me to give the video a thumbs up!

@@SmallBrainedAmericanyou're the man 😁 greetings from the Netherlands
truly a beautiful and peaceful country. their english level suprised me a little bit tho. everybody, even the random town people, seemingly speaks a good amount of english, i wasn't expecting that from such an untouched asian country.
Hello there from 🇧🇹 Bhutan. Answer to your question is that our medium of Education is in English and also our national language, "Dzongkha"... Which is the reason why almost all can understand and speak in English ( Exception - Non literally people)
Man we learn every single subject in English during our schooling days,except for one which is our national language
@@MrRoshanKhati hi handsome😅
Materialism cannot attain happiness... but here is the ATM
🤣
😂😂😂 Seriously they have EVs which arent cheap!
Damn Watching this Vlog gave me feeling of Being in North Korea, they Put HIM in a big luxurious house alone, and tour guides tell stories and narrate stories that are being instructed from Govt.
@ I know what you mean mann you come through my travel agent, I’ll show you how we live.
@@bhu7181 Very culty vibes. . same as N. Korea. But beautiful place!
Bhutan is a small country,located between 2 Asian giants. Bhutan has a tiny population hence a small military. The only high tech weapons we have is our old culture and tradition,thus we protect, celebrate and preserve our old ways. The secret to happiness is freedom and we are happy people because we are free to do whatever we want. I don’t think the word freedom is in North Korean vocabulary.
To those who want to visit Bhutan,you are welcome. And to the ones who have pre judgments about Bhutan, do some research. We live in a very forward thinking society called Bhutan. Tho small,great strides have been made toward equality,quality and living standards. We move forward.
it seems to be realy peacefull place.
Is it possible to come live in Bhutan as a foreigner?
@@kingjaskoneed to have a job there. The majority of the expats in Bhutan are from International agencies. Those who aren’t with the agencies,they work as volunteers at schools,hospitals. And some, find jobs at colleges.
@@tshogyelsherub5725 The older i get, the more i realize true freedom is having not a care of other opinions of one self, and being genuine to values and beliefs one has. Seems like Bhutan got it figured out!
Beautiful country :) I also like what the tour guide said, happiness comes before product
Lmaoooo the split second of you spitting in the water bottle while "whiskey glasses" was playing killllled meeee
idk why but mfs in bhutan listening to morgan wallen lmfaoooo
I don't think the lady at the phallic shop picked up on any of the innuendo 🤣
Roaring with laughter.
Dude was laying it on THICCC!!!
im adding that word to my vocab thanks haha
*multiple innuendos, this was like an episode of south park
That was hilarious 😂😂😂
The joke you made about the "kamikaze cock" had no right being that funny. Damn near choked to death on my water there for a second lol.
Im dead
This is literally the most beautiful place I've ever seen through a screen. Wow. What a beautiful place.
Has nothing on Northern Italy/Switzerland
@@lajsmith_ It is like Switzerland but untouched
Just came on here to write you inspired me to go on my 4 month solo backpacking trip to SE Asia, Europe, and North Africa. When i first came across you i was off work and stuck home because i broke my ankle from a car accident. i binge watched all your Ireland-japan motorcycle videos and that motivated me and inspired me to go out and travel and it was the best thing i ever did and i think about it everyday and now i dread America and don't want to stay here and instead explore the world. Slowly but surely through out my journey i know i can find a skill/career that can give me the opportunity to travel and make money.
Cheers
24:35 “I prefer it unwrapped” devious line 😭
what does that mean
@@myoshi8352 he didn't want her to cover it up to protect it. Some prefer to not have protection on their goods.
@@HaydenGoldsworthy oh.. thanks for explaining🙃
@@myoshi8352 no problem! Have a good day.
@@HaydenGoldsworthyUnprotected merchandise just seems right.
The beef, and distaste, you have with India cracks me up. I’ve been there, love the culture but I get where you’re coming from 😂
Been binging your videos while dealing with the loss of my dad and it’s helped. Quite like your personality and humor and everything. Keep up the great work
Thanks!
"Do you swallow?" 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😅😅
Ah yes, Connor is back in true form 😁😆😅
Dude the phallic giftshop is perfect for your kinda content. Always stoked for a new 'sode. This one had me dying
read it as 'always stroked a new chode.'
So, essentially Bhutan is a phallocractic paradise.
no traffic lights would suggest that, yes
That scarf looks more like a small brained tourist label than a welcome gift
@@King-vj1mc it’s called Khadar and it’s very common in Himalayan region not just in Bhutan, we offer this scarf in many ceremonial occasion including welcoming guest and families, it symbolizes purity and compassion.
😂😂😂😂
Thought it was the dunce scarf
Nah fr 😂😂 they tied a napkin around his neck and tried to say it was a welcoming 😂
@ Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity
I have to say I'm impressed with how well everyone spoke English given it's a relatively isolated country! Seems like a lovely place with its own eccentricities
Yes, and an excellent education of the youth.
12:42 perfect place to start adding a 4 way intersection with a chilis and a walmart
Seems like you got the alternate ending to Far Cry 4. He left you to eat your food at the table for a couple of minutes, and you stayed like a good boy instead of leaving and starting a civil war When he came back (pun intended), you got a tour of their phallus culture.
wAS LOOKING FOR THE fc4 REFERENCE
I found your channel recently and I have been enjoying your videos so much! It is the perfect combination between serious and funny. Perfect dinner eating videos haha!
Most slept on channel on TH-cam, honestly. Saying this as part of the small demographic of women who enjoy this channel!
6800+ views in the first 3 hours since this uploaded and you think this is "slept on"? 37 views per second not good enough for you...
totally agree! im apart of that 12% lmao
@@clvrswine i dont think she meant anything by that other than not a lot of people know about this channel. try to comment nicely
@@clvrswine I just think he deserves more subs than what he currently has. Content is S tier.
I love being part of the SBA fam wether you’re in the 12% or the 88% everyone here’s just great ❤
Thank you visiting and exploring my country 🙏
"Just say no to plastic." - 2 minutes later, a market, where every single fresh food item is excessively packaged in plastic @20:10
plastic is like cancer, can't avoid it
typical bhutan hypocrisy
Dolls in plastic bags!
@@headlesschicken111 Not to be a debby downer but people often forget "clean energy" technology requires rare earth metals, lithium and all those other natural resources dug up and processed SOMEWHERE on earth for us to enjoy the end products.
@@jasej4525 irrelevant to the point in contention lol...
woman working the road side food stand was gorgeous
To say the least
Those buildings with that scenery behind is like I'm seeing an Asian Switzerland. Can't unsee it.
Thank you for visiting our country! hope you have a great stay ahead
.
I bet your at Australia right now though
Bhutan is on my bucket list of places to visit. That hotel looked like such a peaceful place to relax, except for the food poisoning part.
Honestly the entertainment from this video is priceless as are your facial expressions!
Best TH-cam channel, hands down.
And this is what Nationalism, and the love of your own people will do for a people. Happiness over materialism. I agree. I admire them.
And how would that work in North America where the early settlers (after the native Americans) came from many different nations and cultures?
I have to know- did you add the Morgan wallen sound bit or where you actually hearing it with the tour guides? I love it 😂
I found this channel while I'm sick. I stayed home from work and had a marathon of your content. So cool. Go Braves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe the word that your guide uses at 11:23 is "Samsaric", which refers to the cyclical nature of our lives, and our human condition (rebirth and death, and all the suffering in between as we swim in this steaming hot bowl of karmic soup). Beautiful video and videos, man. Love from Canada.
More correct is SANSARIK..... it's a sanskrit word.... Means to have a life.... A married person is said to have a sansarik lifestyle
Dude this might be the best SBA video I've seen lol
that tumbnail looks like you're in minecraft. imma pour myself a gallon of wine and watch this video now. okbye
Does gallon exceed Mega Pint levels?
I’m gana hope your not from the United states 😂
Time to drop the xbox if any part of this makes you think of minecraft, ha
@@dertythegrower never had an xbox and never played minecraft but u gotta admit, those trees, clouds and buildings are very blocky
I'm actually having a 2013 Amarone. Lovely and very strong (17%) but also very well balanced, so you don't feel the alcohol too much. Great fruity aroma.
Connor I don't know how you keep a straight face with those clever jokes and quips. I was covering my face throughout so much of this, amazing work.
Man, I don't comment often on videos, but I have to say, I am so happy to see this video! I want to visit Bhutan one day, it seems like one of the greatest places on earth. All the people seem extremely friendly and down to earth, very refreshing. I hope the Bhutanese people have a long and prosperous future ahead of themselves! :)
Also, if you don't mind me asking, you mentioned in Bhutan the visa/fee's are very expensive. I am curious, how much exactly does one have to pay per visit/day?
2:14 Canada is also carbon negative, our forests consume 20-30% more carbon than we emit. But the environmental extremist crowd would have you believe we aren't. You'd be surprised how many countries are carbon Negative. There are only about 8 countries that make up 90%+ of all carbon emissions.
You sound like a wieney
I love this mans videos and also love how he doesn't pass up a chance to diss India for the morass that it is.
Dude just discovered your channel, absolute gold. Looking forward to more videos!
Homies back yo lets go. Imagine getting greeted like that back home instead of fearing for your life. Dope to see the rest of the world man.
Awesome Video!
This Belief is Absolutely Ridiculously Hilarious!! 😂🤣😂 Lol
the tourguide's motivational speech in front of the falice artwork was iconic
Dude, how did you not just take the bread?! She had one job, to hand you a piece of bread, and you're like "nah" lmao
Note the happiest nation in the world is also homogeneous, with a closely shared culture. High trust societies.
I know that feeling where you suddently get Food poisoning and youre entire life just gets paused for 3-4 days... Bali, the phillipines, Thailand... every time I've been.
That sucks so bad. Do you know yet what to completely avoid? So sorry….
@@GodWearsGucci Avoid those countries entirely... otherwise you can only be as careful as humanly possible… the Phillipines wasn’t bad in most situations, wasn’t til I got to Coron and ate with the locals that hit me
U cannot avoid it's different pathogens and bacteria,first thing is start eating local fruits before trying some street food so ur stomach can adopt to local microbes@@GodWearsGucci
If she's waiting to give you bread, just take it, it would have soaked up the food poisoning, and slowed it down.
Well, that content sure paid for this trip! Nice one Connor, loved the vid.
"Preservation and promotion of a free and resilient culture"
Every country should have this. I'm pro GNH and anti-GDP! 💪
phalus shop part was so funny.. i cant stop laughing.. thank you!!! :))
27:06 bet you're having fun with this shot lol
I give you full credit😮 I don't know how you were keeping it together as he was explaining that that's a phallus on a head😂😂😂 and then he explained the Size Doesn't Matter😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I've never felt more like Beavis and Butthead😂😂😂😂😂😂
bhutan is a big point on my bucket list for years. Thanks for the new impressions.
Dude this felt like your old classic videos from when you were poor and had less subs and were single. I’m happy your life is better but PLEASE make more videos like this. The bigger safer counties are getting stale. I miss this! ❤
india could never do this in ten trillion years lmaoooooo
Your america can't either
@@Pegasus9723 who said Im from america??? no need to get offended mate, your country is a shit hole 🤣
Nor could any place that has more than 700,000 people. Their whole nation has the population of a small city.
Did u vistit all the 29 states and 6000 cities in india😂😂.... So dont spout nonsense..... In USA u have zombie cities..... And Japan u have yakuza cities and red light cities....... Not all places are the best..... But just the part u are shown are the part u know about
@@Auxinapex that's a whole lot of cope going on. instead of coping, why not acknowledge the issue and advocate for plans to fix it? rather than white knighting a country that still has rabies epidemics and holes in the floor for toilets.
Do you have an affiliate link for your camera? The quality is awesome.
i knew i wanted to go to bhutan, but now i just cannot wait to go. FR SBA your uploads make me so happy
I lost it 😂 when he went in the 🐓 store. This dude play all day 😂🤣😂I had to subscribe after this video 💯
Almost seems like Buhtan has potemkin village like North Korea. Places made for only for tourists, to give them the exact image of the country the government wants to convey.
Well it's working
@@UndercoverNormie No, it's not, as very few people want to visit Bhutan.
No this isn’t true at all . I am Bhutanese and don’t agree with you at all . Please do more research on it if you are interested.
I don’t blame you when it’s picturesque every where you go and ofcoz with guide but trust me Bhutan is not even close to North Korea, u can randomly pick a place and ask your guide to take you, he will do it it without any hesitation. He can even leave you alone for sometime.
Guide are made mandatory so that young men and woman can get a job easily after their graduation.
@@nr655321that's more because of the tourist visa is so expensive there. And it's per how many days you spend there.
Great video of a country most of us know very little of! Thank you Connor
Very good video ❤ 🙏 there is a very good reason for not allowing tourists here. A lot of buddhists left "India" after it got trashed by the arrival of persians, turks, mongols from the west abd central asia, so buddhists found shelter all over himalayan and south east asia. So they have always been wary of outsiders. Many of these himalayan places were banned for travel till very recently for a good reason.
Just wanted to say your hair looks awesome! Keep it like this. ❤
the entire phallus shop exchange is comedic gold.
Prayer flags are so beautiful to me for some reason, I think I saw them a lot when I was young but I don't remember where. I never forgot about them though.
Whenever I see them it brings me comfort and a smile. Kind of like when you upload! Thanks man.
(Sorry you got food poisoning.. oof) one of my worst fears. Happened to me once and my god. You bounce back quick!
Bhutan might be one of the most underrated countries, at least judging from this video,
27:33 "theres so many...........paintings.....around" 😂😂
Everything after 20:25 is just 🤌
22:00 nice shop 😂 27:18 behind him it kills me sorry 😂😂😂
That’s the problem w Nepal, Bhutan and these places…you might get serious food poisoning that completely ruins your trip. Heard about a hiker who had to be helicoptered out bc she was about to die from it.
This tour guy looked like a cleaner more educated version of Dan, but still very enthusiastic about Betel Nuts. Dan episode is the best episode of your channel by a long mile.
5:31 do you swallow?
yes i do
oh ok
lol ffs i facepalmed and burst out laughing
That's awesome, despite the food poisoning that was an epic journey, beautiful country. Thanks for taking us along dude!
“The divine madman” 🤣. This episode was so hilarious at the beginnings of the fallac stuff
Your videos are interesting, unpretentious, fun, and educational.
I have been watching them on my phone as I lay down at night. A few times after I fell asleep I have continued your adventures in my dreams as adventures of my own. I have had some crazy but cool dreams.
I am enjoying watching all your videos.
The eating bread thing was a test. You failed and got food poisoning as a result.
You know ill say it here i binged almost every video and i started watching since 2 days ago and it really shows how much appreciation every culture has and how one place can be so different from the other and its beautiful how every place is really shown and of course theres india...... but apart from that thanks for the amazing content and will be here on the next upload!
15:14 was so out of the blue 😭🤣
Love your videos. Love your adventures! Everyone speaks English in Bhutan. Thank you for showing us the culture of Bhutan.
SBA and Mike Okay vids are always top tier. Prayin for the crossover.
100 percent bro, best TH-camrs
Always great to see a new SBA video. You should’ve brought Thant Zaw from Myanmar to drive you around - no traffic lights, perfect! Just saw 60 minutes episode about Bhutan’s coming future city which is going to look amazing!
NICE FADE BROOOOO!!!
“A small pink one, for protection”😂
11:23
The guy is saying ‘Samsaric world’ from ‘Samsara’
Bhutan seems like it may be one of the coolest places in the world. I want to go there SO bad! Thank you for sharing another awesome video SBA
Altitude can cause problems with childbirth but this is funner.
Hi fascinating & beautiful country, thanks for what you do! Also Just wanted to say I always look forward to your videos and surprised to be one of the small percentage! I love your authenticity of the travel experience-what it can actually be like when you are not in resorts, or super high traffic tourist destinations. Also how you convey some of the nuances of other cultures together with your humor 👌This one honestly gave me one of the best laughs in a while!!
Please how ?
Am a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down 😭 of myself because of low finance but I still believe God😞
It's Wendy Lisa kidd doing she's changed my life. A BROKER- like her is what you need.
$356K monthly is something you should feel differently about....
Lovely! I enjoyed it like I enjoy a $100k monthly around the turn!!!
Love that Bhutan has made it a law that their buildings need to incorporate references to their traditional architecture, every western country should be doing that more so we don't end up with so many boxy bland buildings or just glass skyscrapers
Never eat in an empty restaurant.
Why?
@@Reaped.Reaperno one is there it’s not popular could get sick the way he did lol
@@Reaped.Reaper #1, its a sign that no one goes there for a reason. #2 the food sits around and doesn't get turned over which is one way to get food poisoning, food being left out. #3 Its awkward.
@@avisitorhere Makes sense.
Omg I just watched 2:17 minutes of this video and I can tell I’m already in love with Bhutan’s people. So kind so down to hearth and so nice. Also they speak a very good English!! This country was already on my bucket lists but after this video I’m sure it’s gonna get a few positions up in that list !!
It looked like north korea, the way you was solo everywhere tourism based, also only can see things that they let you see, but honestly wayy better and cleaner
Yeah, the restaraunt part is sus asf
I think the idea of North Korea people have in their heads is a lot worse than North Korea actually is. From my understanding it's a lot more like China or the USSR in the 70's than it is like Big Brother.
You are wrong, Travel agent don’t make itinerary, you can literally customize wherever you want to go or do in Bhutan, I’m sorry Bhutan is so untouched and naturally beautiful that you people think country like this don’t exist.
It’s nothing like North Korea . The restaurants and resorts are empty because it’s for tourists not for locals and there is less people everywhere because the population of entire country is 700,000 . The tourist aren’t allowed to roam solo because of three reasons, having a guide and driver gives employment to them , secondly a guide is best suited to guide the tourist because Bhutan is not a destination where people come to party like Thailand or India , Finally the most popular destination among tourist are holy places and without proper guidance from tourist guide , the tourist are bound to behave in a manner that can hurt the local sentiments.
Im not hating on bhutan, im just saying it reminds me of north korea same tourism vibe thats all, its my opinion based on what i saw, hope that clears thing up for further discussion 😂💪🏼
This is truly quality edutainment
@17:33 you are not able to absorb the fact that India-Bhutan are so close. Please don’t hate our country India that much. We know our country let you down and even we Indians get fed up of filthy smelly streets but believe me the system in India is broken from top to bottom, please don’t hate India this much.
america also is filthy smelly compared to Canada
Get the corrupt Hindu nationalists out of power and India could be a decent country
@ So you think that the non-Hindu party is “corruption-free”??? The current main Opp party in India ruled India for 60 yrs till 2014. Till that time India’s condition was worse too. So. Getting the Hindu Nationalist party out is not a guarantee that India will become clean.
@singhjasbeer5216 You need a better opposition, vote for an independant party, Modi is a joke. The problem with Hindu nationalist parties is they will always have a large voter base of religious people, so they can get away with any crimes or censorship that they want, the free press of India is heavily suppressed by BJP
@@EpicGamer42069m What you have said can’t be denied but then opposition is stifled be it Congress or other regional parties. Also public at large needs to share the blame too, poor civic sense and apathetic attitude with zero basic empathy is totally missing that’s why India looks so dirty.
Haha bro the shop intraction was the best part.😂
