Overview
- The Bureau of the Royal Household said on Thursday that Princess Bajrakitiyabha’s condition has worsened with an abdominal infection from large‑intestine inflammation that has become difficult to control.
- Palace doctors reported unstable vital signs including low blood pressure, an irregular heartbeat and abnormal blood clotting as the infection began affecting other organs.
- Medical teams continue to provide intensive support with devices and medication to assist her lungs and kidneys and they said they will maintain close monitoring and treatment.
- The 47‑year‑old princess has been in a coma since collapsing during a dog‑training session in December 2022 after suffering a severe blood infection and other complications.
- Her illness has political weight because she was widely seen as a likely successor, succession rules favor men, and Thailand’s strict lese‑majeste laws limit independent reporting and public discussion.
