Doctors in Thailand are fighting to save the life of an Australian man who spent 11 days lost in a Laos jungle.

40-year-old Hayden Adcock went missing during a trek in Laos on July 31 and was rescued 11 days later and flown to a hospital in Bangkok.

His father Stan Adcock lives at Yandina on the Sunshine Coast and he says his son's condition has deteriorated in the last few days.

"It is a difficult time for me but I don't suppose it is as difficult as it is for Hayden,"

"He's in quite a bit of trouble and Lyn my former wife she's also feeding me information so, that's Hayden's mother, so it's the most updated information that I can give you at this point in time."
