IVF Cost in Thailand

With the prices of IVF skyrocketing in the US, Canada, Australia, Europe, and the UK, especially for people whose insurance doesn't cover for fertility treatments and gestational surrogacy, traveling abroad for medical care is becoming an affordable option for many people. How much cheaper, you ask? On average, getting fertility treatment in Thailand costs about 1/3 to 1/2 as it does back home.

All the fertility hospitals and clinics are located in the bustling capitol city of Bangkok. I've visited several Bangkok hospitals during some previous vacations. The level of knowledge and care I received was the same or better than I received in the United States. Additionally, the beauty of Bangkok and Thailand's beaches are another reason one should consider fertility treatment there.

IVF is the most common fertility treatment sought by foreign patients. Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, or PGD, also has attracted many people to Thailand, in part because the procedure is prohibited in many countries. However, clinics in Thailand can perform PGD because the country's Medical Council only has advised against the procedure. Many people seeking PGD come from Australia, which does not allow sex selection, and others come from China and India.

So Why Go To Thailand for IVF?

Thailand has a long history of what is known as modern medicine. Western medicine was introduced to the Kingdom of Siam in 1686. The first hospital was built in 1878 in Petchaburi province and in 1887 the first hospital was built by the Thai Government (Siriaj Hospital). Chulalongkorn University was established with the Faculty of Medicine in 1916, and the Ministry of Public Health was established in 1942 to regulate medical services and public health for the people of Thailand.
