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. His brothers have offered help, but no Royal Household intervention has been publicly documented. On Tuesday, Dr Chakriwat delivered a stark update: “I am scared….”

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.

He now wants to return to Thailand for potentially life-saving treatment. On Tuesday, Dr Chakriwat confirmed that surgery had still not taken place. “My health current situation…… no operation yet, I am scared….” he wrote.

Days earlier, he said several neurologists warned that delays could leave him bedridden or dead. Meanwhile, his brothers have publicly offered assistance and said their mother is deeply worried. However, no Royal Household intervention has been publicly documented. The King’s estranged son is now making his medical crisis increasingly public.

Dr Chakriwat reveals severe health decline as brain tumours leave him facing urgent surgery and death

The latest development follows a sharp deterioration described by Dr Chakriwat throughout September. Initially, he disclosed little about his condition. On September 6, he confirmed that he was unwell but remained determined to recover. “Right now I’m not well, but I’m trying my best,” he wrote in Thai and English. At that stage, he did not identify his immediate illness. Nor did he disclose his location, treatment programme or prognosis.

Twelve days later, however, the picture became considerably more serious. On September 18, Dr Chakriwat described his health as “truly in terrible condition”. Furthermore, he disclosed warnings from several neurologists about the consequences of delaying treatment. According to Dr Chakriwat, three or four specialists had warned him about the risks. Without treatment, he said, he could become bedridden or lose his life. Crucially, he revealed that he urgently required brain surgery.

Since then, Dr Chakriwat has provided significantly more information. Most importantly, he says he has two large brain tumours. Yet the operation has still not taken place. His latest public message on Tuesday made that clear. “My health current situation…… no operation yet, I am scared….” he wrote. Separately, Thai reports described his condition as remaining critical. The 43-year-old therefore continues seeking access to the surgery he says doctors have recommended.

His latest video also provides stark details about his physical deterioration. Dr Chakriwat says there have been periods when he could not stand. In addition, he says he has lost control of his bladder and bowels. On one occasion, he described being unable to get up for approximately two hours. He said he remained helpless throughout that period. Those specific symptoms have not been independently confirmed by a treating hospital. Nevertheless, his longstanding neurological illness is well documented.

Longstanding NF2 illness has led to repeated operations as latest tumours raise serious health risks

Dr Chakriwat has lived with neurofibromatosis type 2 since adolescence. The condition is now generally known as NF2-related schwannomatosis. It is a rare genetic disorder affecting the nervous system.

In particular, it can cause tumours to develop along nerves throughout the body. These can appear around the brain and spinal cord. They can also affect nerves responsible for hearing and balance.

Importantly, NF2-associated tumours are not necessarily cancerous. Indeed, they are frequently benign. However, benign tumours can still cause severe medical problems because of their location. They can press against the brain, spinal cord or important nerves. Consequently, patients can suffer serious neurological impairment without malignant cancer. Reports describing Dr Chakriwat’s present condition as “brain cancer” therefore go beyond the available evidence.

No treating physician has publicly confirmed that his current tumours are malignant. Instead, Dr Chakriwat has described two large brain tumours requiring surgery. His medical history, meanwhile, stretches back decades. In a personal account published in 2015, he detailed years of intensive treatment. By then, he said he had undergone 10 open operations. Additionally, he had received Gamma Knife and CyberKnife procedures.

Dr Chakriwat seeks treatment in Thailand as new Thai identity card reaches him while in Malaysia

Later, in 2020, Dr Chakriwat said he was undergoing chemotherapy. He said the side effects affected his ability to produce medical educational videos. However, chemotherapy does not itself establish a diagnosis of malignant cancer. Likewise, no available medical statement confirms malignancy in his current tumours. The established diagnosis remains NF2-related schwannomatosis, alongside his latest account of two brain tumours.

Dr Chakriwat is himself medically trained. He studied medicine in the United States and later established the Chakriwat Medical Information Centre. Through the organisation, he produced public health education material. His experience with NF2 also formed part of his public medical history. Now, however, his attention has shifted sharply towards obtaining treatment for himself.

Most significantly, Dr Chakriwat is explicitly asking to return to Thailand. “I want to return to Thailand for treatment because Thai doctors are highly capable,” he said. His request is therefore not simply about financing treatment at a Malaysian hospital. Instead, he wants to come home for surgery. Moreover, he says Thai doctors understand his condition and have successfully treated him previously.

Notably, another important detail has emerged alongside his appeal. Dr Chakriwat displayed what he described as his newly issued Thai national identity card. According to the published transcript, the card was recently delivered to him in Malaysia. However, the circumstances surrounding its delivery remain unclear. The development nevertheless reinforces a central element of his case. Dr Chakriwat is a Thai citizen who says he wants medical treatment in Thailand.

Questions surround Dr Chakriwat’s return as treatment costs in Malaysia drain his remaining savings

Precisely what prevents his return remains unclear from the available information. There is no public evidence establishing that he is legally prohibited from entering Thailand. Similarly, no published information identifies an immigration restriction preventing his arrival. Instead, unresolved questions surround his health, travel arrangements and access to specialised treatment.

On another front, it is unclear whether Dr Chakriwat can safely use an ordinary commercial flight. No treating physician has publicly addressed that issue. Likewise, no specialist medical transport arrangements have been disclosed. The journey from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok is comparatively short. However, his ability to undertake it depends on medical factors that have not been publicly established.

Another unanswered question concerns where he would receive treatment after arriving in Thailand. No hospital has publicly confirmed preparations to receive him. Similarly, no Thai neurosurgeon has publicly described the proposed operation. There is also no confirmed surgical timetable. Despite those unanswered questions, Dr Chakriwat’s stated preference is unequivocal. He wants the operation performed in Thailand.

Financial problems have become another central element of his appeal. Dr Chakriwat says his personal savings are disappearing. According to reports carrying his video, surgery in Malaysia is prohibitively expensive. As a result, he says he cannot afford the required treatment there. His previous option of returning to the United States also appears financially closed.

Lost US insurance and disputed fundraising deepen crisis as brothers publicly offer Dr Chakriwat help

Dr Chakriwat says his American health insurance has been terminated. Consequently, he says treatment in America has become inaccessible. The result is a striking situation. The 43-year-old son of Thailand’s monarch says he cannot afford the urgent surgery he requires abroad. At the same time, he says his physical condition is worsening.

The financial issue also has another unusual dimension. Before the latest crisis became public, Dr Chakriwat warned about fundraising conducted using his name. On September 2, he said people had collected donations supposedly for his medical expenses. However, he said none of that money had reached him. Furthermore, he denied authorising anyone to collect donations on his behalf.

In response, Dr Chakriwat urged the public to verify fundraising appeals through his official social media accounts. He also made another significant statement. He said he had not been involved with the Vivacharawongse family for years. That declaration pointed towards a substantial family rupture. Subsequent statements from his brothers, however, complicate any suggestion of complete family abandonment.

His brothers later appeared together and publicly expressed concern about his deteriorating condition. Vacharaesorn Vivacharawongse said their mother was extremely worried. Moreover, he said she had attempted to locate leading doctors in America. The brothers also made clear that they were prepared to help Dr Chakriwat. Yet they described a serious communications problem.

No public Palace intervention emerges as the King’s seriously ill son says his savings are running out

According to the brothers, they had been unable to contact him. Furthermore, they said they did not know precisely where he was. They also lacked detailed information about his medication and treatment. Their statements therefore establish a public offer of assistance from within the family. Whether direct contact has since been established remains unclear.

Separately, no publicly documented intervention from his father or the Royal Household has emerged concerning the latest medical crisis. Equally, there is no public evidence that Dr Chakriwat requested Palace funding and was refused. Nor is there evidence establishing that assistance was privately offered or rejected. Those distinctions remain important because much of the latest information comes directly from Dr Chakriwat.

Even so, the documented circumstances are already extraordinary. Dr Chakriwat is the third son of King Maha Vajiralongkorn and Sujarinee Vivacharawongse. International reporting has repeatedly described the Thai monarch as exceptionally wealthy. However, precise estimates of his personal fortune are difficult to establish transparently.

Royal assets, institutional holdings and Crown Property Bureau assets cannot automatically be treated as personally disposable funds. Accordingly, claims assigning the King a precise personal fortune require caution. Yet no such calculation is necessary to establish the contrast surrounding Dr Chakriwat’s appeal. The seriously ill son of a wealthy monarch says his own savings are running out.

In practical terms, Dr Chakriwat says he cannot afford urgent brain surgery in Malaysia. Meanwhile, he says American treatment is inaccessible after losing his medical insurance. He also describes severe neurological symptoms and two large brain tumours. Against that background, he is publicly asking to return to Thailand for treatment.

International attention grows as Dr Chakriwat’s medical crisis and appeal to return home intensify

International attention to the story increased significantly on Tuesday. The South China Morning Post reported Dr Chakriwat’s latest appeal and identified him as the King’s estranged son. Furthermore, it reported his warning that the condition could result in paralysis or death without treatment. The Bangkok Post has also reported his request to return to Thailand for life-saving surgery.

Earlier, Germany’s t-online reported his worsening health on September 19. Its report also addressed the absence of publicly reported Palace support. Until recently, however, much of the latest information emerged through Dr Chakriwat’s social media and Thai-language reports. The immediate medical crisis has only now developed into a wider international story.

The broader family story, by contrast, has previously received extensive international attention. In 2023, Dr Chakriwat and his brother Vacharaesorn made remarkable visits to Thailand after decades abroad. Their appearances generated international headlines because of the brothers’ long absence. Reuters reported on their return after 27 years outside Thailand. At the time, the Palace made no public comment.

More recently, Time examined the estranged sons and their relationship with Thailand in a substantial 2025 report. International media are therefore familiar with the unusual family history. What has changed is the urgency surrounding Dr Chakriwat’s medical condition. His public statements now concern immediate treatment, diminishing savings and the possibility of severe disability or death.

Key medical and travel questions remain unanswered as Dr Chakriwat seeks urgent treatment in Thailand

For now, several critical questions remain unanswered. It is unclear whether Dr Chakriwat has formally sought assistance from Thailand’s embassy in Kuala Lumpur. Similarly, there is no public confirmation that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been asked to facilitate his journey. There is also no explanation of who arranged his newly issued Thai identity card.

In parallel, no public information establishes whether specialised medical transport is required. No Thai hospital has announced that it will accept him. Likewise, no surgical team has publicly confirmed preparations for an operation. His immediate entitlement to specialised treatment under Thailand’s healthcare system has also not been publicly clarified.

Another significant gap concerns independent medical confirmation. No treating hospital has publicly confirmed the two large tumours described by Dr Chakriwat. Furthermore, no neurosurgeon has publicly detailed their location, dimensions or immediate risks. No physician has publicly confirmed the precise operation required or its timetable. Consequently, those details currently rest on Dr Chakriwat’s statements.

His underlying neurological disease, however, is longstanding and extensively documented. His history of repeated operations and radiation procedures is also established through his previous public accounts. Moreover, his statements during September have become progressively more urgent.

Dr Chakriwat’s worsening condition and two brain tumours intensify his urgent appeal to return home

First, Dr Chakriwat acknowledged that he was unwell. Twelve days later, he disclosed warnings about becoming bedridden or dying. Next, he revealed that he urgently needed brain surgery. Subsequently, he said he had two large brain tumours. He then described severe physical symptoms, financial pressure and the loss of his American medical insurance.

Finally, he made his preferred course of action explicit. Dr Chakriwat wants to return to Thailand. He says Thai doctors have the required expertise and previously treated him successfully. His newly issued Thai identity card adds another element to that request. It was reportedly delivered while he remained in Malaysia seeking a route home for treatment.

At the same time, his brothers say they are ready to help. Their mother has also sought medical assistance, according to their account. Nevertheless, Dr Chakriwat said on Tuesday that surgery had still not happened. His latest update therefore left the central medical problem unresolved.

The immediate issue remains stark. A 43-year-old physician with a lifelong neurological disorder says his health has deteriorated severely. He says two large brain tumours require urgent surgery. Additionally, he says several neurologists warned him about the consequences of further delay. According to his account, those consequences include becoming bedridden or dying.

Financial options narrow as Dr Chakriwat awaits surgery and continues his urgent appeal to come home

Meanwhile, his available financial options abroad appear to be disappearing. Malaysia is too expensive, according to Dr Chakriwat. America is financially inaccessible after the loss of his health insurance. Consequently, Thailand is now his stated choice for treatment. He says Thai doctors are capable of carrying out the treatment he needs.

As part of that effort, he has publicly displayed his new Thai identity card. Yet no receiving Thai hospital has been announced. There is no publicly confirmed surgical team or operation date. Likewise, there is no publicly documented Royal Household intervention concerning the present crisis.

There is also no evidence establishing that Palace assistance was formally requested and refused. His brothers, meanwhile, have offered to help and described their mother’s efforts to find doctors. These facts leave several important practical questions unresolved. None changes the urgency of Dr Chakriwat’s own account.

Above all, his appeal has become increasingly direct. The King’s 43-year-old third son says his savings are running out. He says he urgently requires brain surgery. Moreover, he says he faces grave consequences if treatment continues to be delayed. His stated objective is now clear: he wants to return to Thailand for treatment.

On Tuesday, Dr Chakriwat reduced the situation to a short personal update. After weeks of increasingly serious disclosures, the operation had still not happened. His health remained critical. His final words conveyed his immediate state plainly: “I am scared….”

在生活、媒体、政治、泰国

泰国国王玛哈·哇集拉隆功的三儿子查克里瓦特·维瓦查拉翁塞（Chakriwat “Than Aong” Vivacharawongse）在马来西亚健康状况恶化，恳求返回泰国接受紧急脑部手术。43岁的查克里瓦特医生表示，脑部有两个巨大的肿瘤，可能导致他卧床不起甚至死亡。他的积蓄即将耗尽，马来西亚的治疗费用难以负担，而且他的美国医疗保险也已到期。尽管他出示了新的泰国身份证并恳求回国，但手术仍未安排。他的兄弟们表示愿意提供帮助，但王室方面并未公开介入。周二，查克里瓦特医生发布了一条令人担忧的最新消息：“我很害怕……”

泰国国王玛哈·哇集拉隆功之子、43岁的查克里瓦·维瓦查拉翁医生恳求回国接受脑部手术，因为他脑部有两个肿瘤，生命垂危，而且积蓄已经耗尽。（来源：经理人）

泰国国王玛哈·哇集拉隆功的三子查克里瓦·“丹昂”·维瓦查拉翁医生从马来西亚发出紧急求助。这位43岁的医生表示，他脑部有两个巨大的肿瘤，急需手术。此外，他还说自己的积蓄即将耗尽，出国治疗更是超出了他的经济能力。

他现在想回泰国接受可能挽救生命的治疗。周二，查克里瓦特医生证实手术仍未进行。“我目前的健康状况……还没做手术，我很害怕……”他写道。

几天前，他曾表示多位神经科医生警告说，如果治疗延误，他​​可能会卧床不起甚至死亡。与此同时，他的兄弟们公开表示愿意提供帮助，并称他们的母亲非常担忧。然而，目前尚无任何王室干预的公开记录。这位与国王关系疏远的儿子如今正将自己的病情危机公之于众。

查克里瓦特医生透露，由于脑瘤缠身，他的健康状况急剧恶化，面临紧急手术和死亡的威胁。

最新进展源于查克里瓦特医生在整个九月期间病情急剧恶化的情况。起初，他很少透露自己的病情。9月6日，他证实自己身体不适，但仍决心康复。“我现在身体不好，但我会尽力，”他用泰语和英语写道。当时，他没有说明自己患的是什么病，也没有透露自己的所在地、治疗方案或预后情况。

然而，12天后，情况急转直下。9月18日，查克里瓦特医生形容自己的健康状况“极其糟糕”。此外，他还透露，几位神经科医生都曾警告他，如果延误治疗，后果不堪设想。据查克里瓦特医生说，有三四位专家都曾警告过他这种风险。他表示，如果不接受治疗，他可能会卧床不起，甚至失去生命。至关重要的是，他透露自己急需进行脑部手术。

此后，查克里瓦特医生提供了更多信息。最重要的是，他表示自己脑部有两个巨大的肿瘤。然而，手术至今仍未进行。他周二发布的最新公开声明也明确了这一点。“我目前的健康状况……还没做手术，我很害怕……”他写道。另据泰国媒体报道，他的病情仍然危重。因此，这位43岁的医生仍在努力争取接受他所说的医生建议的手术。

他最新的视频也详细描述了他身体状况的恶化。查克里瓦特医生说，他曾一度无法站立。此外，他还说自己失去了对膀胱和肠道的控制。有一次，他描述自己大约两个小时无法起身，并且在那段时间里完全无助。这些具体症状尚未得到治疗医院的独立证实。然而，他长期存在的神经系统疾病已有详细记录。

长期患有NF2疾病导致患者需要反复手术，因为新出现的肿瘤会带来严重的健康风险。

查克里瓦特医生自青少年时期就患有2型神经纤维瘤病。这种疾病现在通常被称为NF2相关神经鞘瘤病。它是一种罕见的遗传性疾病，会影响神经系统。

尤其值得注意的是，它会导致肿瘤沿着全身的神经生长。这些肿瘤可能出现在大脑和脊髓周围，也可能影响负责听觉和平衡的神经。

重要的是，NF2相关肿瘤并非一定是恶性肿瘤。事实上，它们通常是良性的。然而，良性肿瘤由于其位置特殊，仍然会引发严重的健康问题。它们可能压迫大脑、脊髓或重要神经。因此，即使没有恶性肿瘤，患者也可能出现严重的神经功能障碍。所以，将Chakriwat医生目前的病情描述为“脑癌”的说法，是基于现有证据的推断。

目前尚无主治医生公开证实他目前的肿瘤是恶性的。相反，查克里瓦特医生表示，他患有两个需要手术治疗的大型脑瘤。与此同时，他的病史可以追溯到几十年前。在2015年发表的一篇个人回忆录中，他详细描述了自己多年来接受的密集治疗。当时，他表示自己已经接受了10次开胸手术，此外还接受了伽玛刀和射波刀治疗。

查克里瓦特医生在马来西亚期间收到了新的泰国身份证，随后前往泰国就医。

后来，在2020年，查克里瓦特医生表示他正在接受化疗。他说化疗的副作用影响了他制作医学教育视频的能力。然而，化疗本身并不能确诊恶性肿瘤。同样，目前也没有任何医学证明证实他目前的肿瘤是恶性的。已确诊的疾病仍然是NF2相关性神经鞘瘤病，以及他最近报告的两处脑瘤。

查克里瓦特医生本人接受过医学训练。他曾在美国学习医学，之后创立了查克里瓦特医学信息中心。通过该中心，他制作了公共卫生教育材料。他自身罹患神经纤维瘤病2型（NF2）的经历也成为他公共医学史的一部分。然而，如今他已将注意力迅速转移到自身治疗上。

最重要的是，查克里瓦特医生明确要求返回泰国接受治疗。“我想回泰国治疗，因为泰国医生医术精湛，”他说。因此，他的请求并非仅仅是支付在马来西亚医院的治疗费用。相反，他希望回国接受手术。此外，他还表示，泰国医生了解他的病情，并且之前曾成功治疗过他。

值得注意的是，随着他的申诉，另一个重要细节也浮出水面。查克里瓦特医生出示了他所说的新近签发的泰国国民身份证。根据已公布的笔录，这张身份证最近在马来西亚寄送给了他。然而，寄送的具体情况尚不清楚。尽管如此，这一进展仍然强化了他案件的一个核心要素。查克里瓦特医生是泰国公民，他表示希望在泰国接受治疗。

查克里瓦特医生能否返回马来西亚接受治疗仍是未知数，因为在马来西亚的治疗费用已经耗尽了他仅剩的积蓄。

根据现有信息，究竟是什么阻碍了他返回泰国仍不明确。没有公开证据表明他被法律禁止入境泰国。同样，也没有任何公开信息表明存在任何移民限制阻止他入境。相反，目前悬而未决的问题集中在他的健康状况、行程安排以及能否获得专科治疗等方面。

另一方面，目前尚不清楚查克里瓦特医生能否安全乘坐普通商业航班。他的主治医生均未公开谈论过这个问题。同样，也没有任何关于特殊医疗转运安排的信息披露。吉隆坡到曼谷的航程相对较短。然而，他能否出行取决于一些尚未公开的医疗因素。

另一个悬而未决的问题是，他抵达泰国后将在哪里接受治疗。目前尚无任何医院公开确认已做好接收他的准备。同样，也没有泰国神经外科医生公开描述拟进行的手术。此外，手术时间表也尚未确定。尽管存在这些疑问，查克里瓦特医生的意愿却十分明确：他希望在泰国接受手术。

经济问题已成为他吸引公众关注的另一个核心因素。查克里瓦特医生表示，他的个人积蓄正在耗尽。据刊登他视频的报道，在马来西亚进行手术费用极其昂贵。因此，他说他无力承担在那里接受所需的治疗。他之前考虑的返回美国治疗的方案似乎也因经济原因而行不通了。

美国保险失效和筹款争议加剧了危机，与此同时，查克里瓦特医生的兄弟公开表示愿意提供帮助。兄弟俩公开表示愿意帮助查克里瓦特医生，而查克里瓦特医生的危机则进一步恶化。

查克里瓦特医生表示，他的美国医疗保险已被终止。因此，他说他无法再去美国接受治疗。这造成了一个令人震惊的局面。这位43岁的泰国国王之子表示，他无力承担在国外进行紧急手术的费用。与此同时，他还表示自己的身体状况正在恶化。

这场财务危机还有另一个不寻常的层面。在最近的危机公开之前，查克里瓦特医生就曾警告过有人冒用他的名义进行募捐。9月2日，他表示有人以支付他医疗费用的名义募集捐款。然而，他表示自己并未收到任何款项。此外，他也否认曾授权任何人以他的名义募集捐款。

对此，查克里瓦特医生敦促公众通过他的官方社交媒体账号核实募捐呼吁。他还发表了另一项重要声明，称自己已与维瓦查拉翁斯家族断绝关系多年。这一声明暗示着该家族内部出现了严重的裂痕。然而，他兄弟们随后的表态却使这种说法变得复杂，难以证实他已彻底抛弃家族。

他的兄弟们随后一同露面，公开表达了对他病情恶化的担忧。Vacharaesorn Vivacharawongse表示，他们的母亲非常担心。他还说，母亲曾试图联系美国的顶尖医生。兄弟们也明确表示，他们愿意帮助Chakriwat医生。然而，他们也提到存在严重的沟通问题。

国王身患重病的儿子表示积蓄即将耗尽，但王室并未公开介入此事。

据兄弟俩称，他们一直无法联系到他。此外，他们表示也不知道他究竟在哪里。他们也缺乏关于他用药和治疗的详细信息。因此，他们的声明表明了家人愿意公开提供帮助。至于之后是否已与他取得直接联系，目前尚不清楚。

此外，目前尚无公开记录表明他的父亲或王室就此次医疗危机进行过任何干预。同样，也没有公开证据表明查克里瓦特医生曾向王室申请资助但遭到拒绝。也没有证据表明有人私下提供或拒绝过援助。这些区别至关重要，因为许多最新信息都直接来自查克里瓦特医生本人。

即便如此，已记录在案的情况也已非同寻常。查克里瓦博士是玛哈·哇集拉隆功国王和苏嘉丽·维瓦查拉翁的第三子。国际媒体多次报道这位泰国君主极其富有。然而，要透明地准确估算他的个人财富却十分困难。

王室资产、机构持股和王室财产管理局的资产不能自动被视为国王的个人可支配资金。因此，任何声称国王拥有确切个人财富的说法都需要谨慎。然而，无需进行此类计算即可了解查克里瓦特医生上诉案的鲜明对比。这位身患重病的富裕君主之子表示，他自己的积蓄即将耗尽。

查克里瓦特医生表示，实际上他无力承担在马来西亚进行紧急脑部手术的费用。同时，由于失去了医疗保险，他也无法获得美国的治疗。他还描述了自己严重的神经系统症状以及两个巨大的脑瘤。鉴于此，他公开请求返回泰国接受治疗。

随着查克里瓦特医生病情恶化以及他呼吁回国的呼声日益高涨，国际社会对他的关注度也越来越高。

周二，国际社会对这起事件的关注度显著提升。《南华早报》报道了查克里瓦特医生的最新呼吁，并指出他是国王疏远的儿子。此外，该报还报道了他警告说，如果不接受治疗，这种疾病可能导致瘫痪甚至死亡。《曼谷邮报》也报道了他请求返回泰国接受救命手术的消息。

此前，德国t-online网站于9月19日报道了他的健康状况恶化。该报道还指出，王室方面并未公开表示支持。然而，直到最近，许多最新信息都是通过查克里瓦特医生的社交媒体和泰语报道发布的。这场突发的医疗危机直到现在才演变成一场更广泛的国际事件。

相比之下，查克里瓦特博士及其兄弟瓦查拉颂在旅居海外数十年后，于2023年返回泰国，此举引发国际关注。由于兄弟二人长期不在泰国，他们的出现占据了国际新闻头条。路透社报道了他们时隔27年重返泰国的消息。当时，泰国王室并未对此发表公开评论。

最近，《时代》杂志在2025年的一篇深度报道中，探讨了这对疏远的儿子以及他们与泰国的关系。因此，国际媒体对这个不同寻常的家庭史并不陌生。如今，情况发生了变化，查克里瓦特医生的病情变得尤为紧迫。他现在的公开声明都围绕着紧急治疗、日益减少的积蓄以及可能出现的严重残疾甚至死亡。

查克里瓦特医生在泰国寻求紧急治疗，但一些关键的医疗和旅行问题仍未得到解答。

目前，几个关键问题仍未得到解答。尚不清楚查克里瓦特博士是否已正式向泰国驻吉隆坡大使馆寻求帮助。同样，也没有公开消息证实外交部已被要求协助他出行。此外，也没有任何解释说明是谁为他办理了新签发的泰国身份证。

与此同时，目前尚无公开信息表明是否需要特殊医疗转运。没有一家泰国医院宣布将接收他。同样，也没有任何手术团队公开确认已做好手术准备。他是否享有泰国医疗体系下的特殊治疗资格也尚未得到公开澄清。

另一个显著的缺口在于缺乏独立的医学鉴定。目前没有任何一家医院公开证实查克里瓦特医生所描述的两个巨大肿瘤。此外，也没有任何神经外科医生公开详细说明肿瘤的位置、大小或近期风险。也没有任何医生公开确认所需的具体手术方案或手术时间。因此，目前这些信息都仅基于查克里瓦特医生的陈述。

然而，他的潜在神经系统疾病由来已久，并有大量文献记载。他之前的公开记录也证实了他曾多次接受手术和放射治疗。此外，他在九月份的声明也变得越来越紧急。

查克里瓦特医生病情恶化，脑部还长了两个肿瘤，这使得他迫切希望回国。

首先，查克里瓦特医生承认自己身体不适。十二天后，他透露自己可能卧床不起甚至死亡。接着，他表示自己急需脑部手术。随后，他说自己脑子里有两个巨大的肿瘤。之后，他描述了自己严重的身体症状、经济压力以及失去美国医疗保险的困境。

最后，他明确表达了自己的意愿。查克里瓦特医生希望返回泰国。他说泰国医生拥有所需的专业知识，并且之前成功地治疗过他。他新近获得的泰国身份证也进一步佐证了他的这一请求。据报道，这张身份证是在他滞留在马来西亚寻求回国治疗的途径期间办理的。

与此同时，他的兄弟们表示愿意提供帮助。据他们所述，他们的母亲也已寻求医疗救助。然而，查克里瓦特医生周二表示，手术仍未进行。因此，他最新的通报表明，这一核心医疗问题仍未得到解决。

眼下的问题依然严峻。一位患有终身神经系统疾病的43岁医生表示，他的健康状况急剧恶化。他说，脑部有两个巨大的肿瘤，需要立即手术。此外，他还说，几位神经科医生警告他，如果继续拖延，后果将不堪设想。据他描述，这些后果包括卧床不起甚至死亡。

随着查克里瓦特医生等待手术，他的经济选择越来越少，他仍在紧急呼吁回家。

与此同时，他在海外的治疗选择似乎越来越少。查克里瓦特医生表示，马来西亚的医疗费用太高。由于失去了医疗保险，去美国治疗对他来说也遥不可及。因此，他现在选择在泰国接受治疗。他说，泰国的医生有能力为他提供所需的治疗。

作为这项努力的一部分，他已公开展示了他的新泰国身份证。然而，接收他的泰国医院尚未公布。手术团队和手术日期也未公开确认。同样，也没有任何公开记录表明王室就此次危机采取了任何干预措施。

也没有证据表明王室曾正式请求援助但遭到拒绝。与此同时，他的兄弟们表示愿意提供帮助，并描述了他们母亲为寻找医生所做的努力。这些事实留下了一些重要的实际问题悬而未决。但这些都无法改变查克里瓦特医生所述情况的紧迫性。

最重要的是，他的诉求变得越来越直接。这位43岁的国王三子表示，他的积蓄即将耗尽。他说他急需进行脑部手术。此外，他还表示，如果治疗继续拖延，他将面临严重的后果。他现在的目标很明确：他想返回泰国接受治疗。

周二，查克里瓦特医生简要地通报了病情。经过数周病情日益严重的披露，手术仍未进行。他的健康状况依然危急。他最后的话语清晰地表达了他当时的处境：“我很害怕……”
