Son of world's richest monarch pleads to come home for emergency brain surgery
Dr. Chakriwat Vivacharawongse, the estranged third son of Thai King Maha Vajiralongkorn, is appealing to return home from Malaysia for emergency surgery on two large brain tumors.
In a desperate plea for help, the son of Thailand's second wife and one of the world's wealthiest monarchs has implored his family to allow him to return home for emergency brain surgery. Chakriwat, a 43-year-old physician, claims he suffered a seizure recently, leading to weakness in his arms and legs. The neurologists have warned that delaying his treatment could leave him bedridden or dead, according to the Bangkok Post.
Despite the severity of his condition, the young physician insists on receiving treatment at home, as he believes Thai doctors are highly capable. His brothers, Vacharaesorn, Juthavachara, and Vatchrawee, have expressed alarm at his condition and have offered their support, stating they would help whenever he gets in touch. Chakriwat, who severed ties with his family years ago, has urged the public to verify any fundraising appeals through his official social media accounts, as he has never received any donations for his treatment.
