    On Day 17 of our Bhutan travel and food trip we drove from Phobjikha Valley back to Thimphu, Bhutan, stopping for some Bhutanese food along the way.
    Bhutanese breakfast at Phub Lham Farmhouse - For breakfast we had Bhutanese food at the home stay. The suja, butter tea was fantastic, and the ezay chili sauce was also very good. We also ate white Himalayan rice in a wooden bowl.
    Wangdue Ecolodge - Driving from Phobjikha Valley back to Thimphu we stopped in Wangdue to eat lunch at the ecolodge. It was a nice place and the owner is really pushing to create a sustainable lodge, both with accommodation and food. The Bhutanese lunch we had was delicious.
    Thank you to Chechay (Bhutan Musk Travels bhutanmusktravels.com/) for accompanying us on this amazing trip in Bhutan!
    Thank you Tenzin our driver for driving us to Phobjikha Valley!
    Disclosure:
    It was an honor to be invited by MyBhutan to visit Bhutan to explore Bhutanese food and culture. Thank you to MyBhutan Productions for making my trip and this video possible!

    I'm enjoying this series very much. Thank you for uploading. I see comments that the variety of foods is limited. I guess it is. But what I like is how immersed in the culture you became. More of how the people live and the gorgeous scenery.

      Donna Fassano I also like that he includes family in his videos and watching people do there thing in the background..not like other youtubers who make it more like a business with there food ratings, etc.

      We really get to feel like we are there with Mark and Ying. I think that takes great skill in both what they video and how they edit it. I'm just glad that he has made so many videos and because I'm realitively new to the channel I have plenty to watch. The food may be limited but that is because they grow vegetables, raise animals and basically produce all their own food. Not like most people who get their food from a supermarket. I did notice that every place they went to had a different version of each dish.

    Just a heads up guys for Bhutan (Day 18) so we can minimise all the same comments over and over again each day
    Yes the food will be the same
    Mark loved all the food he ate
    So pls skip this video if you don't like to see these
    On the other hand there will be plenty of Bhutanese culture, people and sceneries to be discovered which I'm looking forward to.

    Hey Mark, Really enjoying this series. It's so beautiful there and I love the farm houses. Those farm owners really are hard working. They grow and raise their own food and make do with what they have. Gotta respect that. No grocery stores for them. They seem like humble people and it was nice to get a glimpse of how they live. Love your videos and as always I look forward to your next one.

      Anyone who offers criticism is a hater right? You're a simpleton. All praise is boring and Wiens presentation isn't all that. I watch for the content, but his clipped diction, for example drives a lot of people crazy. The rolling eyes the oh yeahs equally so. Doesn't make us haters. When you expose yourself to mass media you're exposed to critical analysis. Get over it. You don't have to agree. In fact calling us haters pretty much makes you a hater, drawing lines in the sand and polarizing discussion and debate.

The Bhutan serie has a documentary quality to it, I believe that was a lifetime experience and that Mark has really come to know the dephts of this part of the world. We're just lucky he brought us along with him.

I am learning a lot. What I like with you is that you respect the culture and the way of life of the local people. Those with negative comments and haters are people who has not been exposed or who hasn't travelled at all. Their knowledge is limited, they are unhappy and unsuccesful people who sees only the negative aspect of this world. Ignore them! Keep up the good work. We appreciate your work. Thank you...

I have travelled the world but have never been to Bhutan. I find it a fascinating country and especially liked the farm stays. Even though the food was similar, it somehow gave me comfort. It is obvious that you and Ying really enjoyed your time there as well as living amongst the locals. I am old and gray now and my worldly travels are over so I really enjoy your videos. Thank you so much for sharing with us. I know you are busy, but I would love to read an autobiography when you have time to write one.
