Let's see what you mean by simple ... The journey of this character with all his court already costs the Christians of the world a fortune! What kind of visa will he have? Turist? Business or what else? 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not "the Christians" of the world by the Catholics. Thankfully Protestants and Eastern Orthodox churches and Christians don't have to contribute money to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il Papa used to travel on diplomatic and sovereign immunity. Don't know how it works these days, for him or all his entourage but it would be interesting to know. Sovereign immunity, LOL, King of a state with what? 4000 odd passport holders none of whom were born there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer90210 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) Better leave Bangkok during his visit...all the roads will be blocked, extra crowds at the airport, hotels will be full of his suite, prices will hike naturally...not a good time to be in any country when VIP's come over to a visit and make a nuisance of themselves and their status.
