Ngawang Samten of Wangdi Choling Village shares his account of working as a court attendant to the king in Kinga Rabten Palace in Trongsa district, during the reign of the second king Jigme Wangchuck. He travelled with the king from one district to another on foot, staying the night at homes that opened their doors to them. The king offered gifts and money to the owners which made them very happy. However if one of the personal attendants were stingy, he would refuse to give the king's gifts and money to the owners and instead keep them for himself. Ngawang Samten adds that only the personal attendants of the king wore the Patang (Sword of Honor) which was personally awarded to them by the king himself. There were only ten of them who wore the Patang those days.
