Fertility treatment in Thailand

Thailand has become the most popular fertility destination for Australian, Middle Eastern and Southeast Asian patients. High medical standards, English-speaking staff at major clinics, and a regulatory framework that allows services restricted elsewhere.

Who should consider Thailand?

Legal framework

Thailand's Medical Council Notification on Assisted Reproductive Technology (most recently updated 2022) is among the more permissive in the region. Key points:

  • Sex selection is allowed for medical reasons or family balancing โ€” most clinics offer it routinely.
  • Anonymous egg and sperm donation is permitted, though clinics must maintain donor registries.
  • Surrogacy has been prohibited for foreign couples since 2015. Thai citizens may pursue altruistic surrogacy under strict rules.
  • Egg freezing for social reasons is allowed without a medical indication.
  • Embryo sex selection through PGD is widely practiced.

Information current as of August 2026. Fertility law is an active area in Thailand โ€” confirm with a fertility lawyer before committing.

Travel & logistics

Bangkok is served by two international airports with direct flights from all major Australian cities (7-9 hours), Singapore (2 hours), Dubai, Doha and most Asian capitals. Major fertility clinics typically provide airport pickup, on-site translation (Thai/English/Mandarin/Arabic), and can assist with medical visa extensions. Average stay for an IVF cycle is 14-21 days.
