In 1924, King Vajiravudh, accompanied by Suvadhana, visited the Federated Malay States. The reconciliation with European powers on unequal treaties progressed gradually, while the financial crisis was taking a great toll on Siam as another loan was taken from Britain and the firing of numerous government officials occurred. In 1925 Vajiravudh had to dissolve his Nakorn Sri Thammarat Regiment and merged provinces into larger units to lower maintenance costs.

In November 1925, it was announced that Vajiravudh fell ill.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kingvajiravudh.org/main/index.php/2009-01-09-07-31-48/2009-01-05-08-35-11 |title=พระราชประวัติพระบาทสมเด็จพระมงกุฎเกล้าเจ้าอยู่หัว |access-date=April 26, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090408215205/http://www.kingvajiravudh.org/main/index.php/2009-01-09-07-31-48/2009-01-05-08-35-11 |archive-date=April 8, 2009 }}</ref> Princess Consort Suvadhana was then pregnant. Vajiravudh then announced his succession instructions: if Princess Suvadhana gave birth to a son, the throne would go to him. If not, the throne would pass to his surviving brother, Prince [[Prajadhipok]] of Sukhothai. He barred Princess Inthrasaksachi from being interred with him in the future and instead granted that right to Princess Suvadhana. Vajiravudh also barred his uncle, Prince Damrong, from the government.

On the night of 25 November, Princess Suvadhana gave birth to a princess only two hours before Vajiravudh's death. Vajiravudh glimpsed his sole daughter for the first and only time before his demise on the 26 November 1925. The throne passed to his brother, Prajadhipok, who named Vajiravudh's daughter as Princess [[Bejaratana]].
