I was there a couple of months ago. It's truly a beautiful and extremely calm place.

There's one quote from our guide that I remember: "We are a small nation. We watch what our neighbors are doing and pick what will work for us."

Another impression I got (and I may be totally wrong) - the locals genuinely love the royal family. There are pictures of the king, his wife, and children literally everywhere. As someone who grew up in a communist country and is familiar with seeing portraits of "beloved" leaders everywhere, this seemed like something totally different.

The people are very respectful - no one tries to sell you things or bother you in any other way.

Highly recommended destination. Hope it doesn't change anytime soon.
