Summary
King Maha Vajiralongkorn’s estranged third son is pleading to return to Thailand for urgent brain surgery as his health deteriorates in Malaysia. Dr Chakriwat “Than Aong” Vivacharawongse, 43, says two large brain tumours could leave him bedridden or dead. His savings are running out, Malaysian treatment is unaffordable and his US health insurance has ended. Despite displaying a new Thai identity card and appealing to come home, no operation is scheduled.
Dr Chakriwat “Than Aong” Vivacharawongse, the third son of King Maha Vajiralongkorn, is making an urgent appeal from Malaysia. The 43-year-old physician says he has two large brain tumours and urgently needs surgery. Moreover, he says his savings are running out and treatment abroad is beyond his financial reach.
