Bhutan: Ka Ja Throm marketplace opens in Phuentshogling, aims to revive economy

By IBNS
Feb 20, 2023..

Phuentshogling:  Phuentshogling, a popular tourist destination in Bhutan, recently witnessed the opening of a Ka Ja Throm, a refined marketplace, which aims to revive the economy of the region.


The move to open it was initiated by the Royal Command and as a gift from The King to the people of Phuentshogling.

Located on the rooftop of the Multi-Level Car Parking in Phuentshogling, the new Ka Ja Throm offers a vibrant and lively experience for all visitors. It has an open-air stage along with various food and drinks units managed by DeSuups from the DeSuung Skilling Programme, reports The Bhutan Live.

“One will not get the regular food and drinks that are available in various town areas. Here we have good food and drinks, and this is not to compete with local businesses here. Rather it is to bring in more regional tourists and help boost the local economy,” Uttar Kumar Rai, the Phuentshogling Thrompon, told the news portal.

And unlike other Ka Ja Throms, he added that Phuentshogling’s Ka Ja Throm is primarily for entertainment.

“Since we don’t have many places for international visitors to hang out, we thought of making our Ka Ja Throm only for entertainment purposes. This will also help in attracting more regional and foreign tourists,” added the Thrompon.
