The security and protocol arrangements seem a bit over the top, blocking public photography and causing traffic with luxury convoys. While I understand it's for a royal guest, it disrupts daily life. Hope the cultural exchange is worth the inconvenience.

Impressive that she's not just royalty but also a fashion designer and an army Major! She should definitely check out the local textiles and handicrafts in Tripolia Bazaar. Could be great inspiration for her brand.

Visiting Amer Fort and Mehrangarh Fort is an excellent choice. The architectural legacy of Rajasthan is unparalleled. These diplomatic visits are so important for soft power and tourism. Well done to the officials for the coordination.

As a Jaipur local, I saw the convoy pass. It was quite a sight! But more than the glamour, I hope she gets a real taste of Rajasthani hospitality and our art. Maybe she can collaborate with our local artisans? 🇮🇳🤝🇹🇭

Good to see such high-level visits focusing on culture and heritage instead of just politics. Thailand and India share so much historical connection. Hope she tries the local cuisine too! The food is as rich as the forts.
