IVF and Fertility Clinics in Thailand: 17 compared
Every IVF clinic and hospital fertility centre we cover in Thailand, from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, Phuket and Pattaya, to help you plan treatment with care. Programmes, doctors and package prices can change, so please confirm them with each clinic before you plan treatment.
You are not limited to Bangkok: fertility care is also available in Chiang Mai, Phuket and around Pattaya, though the choice there is smaller.
Some fertility groups run several branches; it is worth asking which lab your eggs and embryos would actually go to.
Thai law sets who can be treated, and a 2026 draft may widen access, but for now the 2015 Act still applies.
Think ahead about frozen embryos: storage fees, reminders and whether you could ever move them home.
How we built this page for you
Everything here comes from what each clinic says about IVF and fertility clinics in Thailand on its own website; if we could not trace a claim to a source, we left it out. The order is not a judgement of quality, and no clinic paid to be included. These are the points we looked for:
Published IVF and ICSI services
Embryology lab details
Published package prices

IVF and fertility clinics in Thailand, at a glance
An IVF cycle at Bumrungrad takes four to six weeks, according to the hospital. Before reaching IVF, patients may be treated with medication, hysteroscopy or laparoscopy, or IUI; IVF and ICSI then use either day-3 or blastocyst transfer. The clinic names its doctors, each listed in both reproductive medicine and obstetrics and gynaecology, within a team of more than 20.
The laboratory options published are EmbryoScope time-lapse monitoring, MACS for choosing sperm, and two forms of embryo genetic testing: PGT-A using NGS, and PGT-M, which looks for single-gene disorders like thalassaemia. Couples can also have carrier screening before pregnancy with a medical genetics specialist.
The clinic opens seven days a week, and a round-the-clock contact centre, online enquiry forms and teleconsultation make it possible to start the conversation from abroad. Prices for IVF are not published.

Fertility Center & IVF Clinic, Building B (Main Building), 2nd Floor, North WingMonday–Saturday 07:00–20:00; Sunday 07:00–17:00+66 2 066 8888
Worth confirming: With no IVF prices published, ask for an itemised quote, and check your eligibility under Thai law: the hospital's egg-freezing page says eggs are fertilised with a legal spouse's sperm.
Couples starting out here are assessed first, and treatment follows the cause that is found: ovulation drugs, keyhole or robotic-assisted surgery for problems such as endometriosis, chocolate cysts or pelvic adhesions, or IUI. IVF and ICSI come next when those are not suitable, with embryos grown to the blastocyst stage.
On the laboratory side, the centre points to an embryology lab of its own built to cleanroom standards and a dedicated male laboratory where sperm is analysed and selected. Genetic testing of embryos is sold as a PGT-A package at 96,000 baht, which also covers freezing two embryos; the test is carried out when the doctor advises it.
There is no published price for a complete IVF cycle, so budgeting means asking for a quote. The team can be contacted by phone, email or LINE (@BHQFertility). It is a reasonable fit for couples who would like reproductive surgery and IVF available within one private hospital.

Samitivej's Fertility Center may appeal to patients who want techniques beyond standard IVF. Alongside IUI, IVF and ICSI with blastocyst culture, it offers in vitro maturation (IVM), with a cAMP-modulator version as well, an approach that avoids hormone stimulation for women such as those with PCOS; the hospital says it first offered IVM in Thailand. Other listed options are calcium ionophore after poor fertilisation with ICSI, uterine receptivity testing, mitochondrial DNA testing, and PGD or PGS by array CGH or NGS.
A newer embryology laboratory sits in the hospital's Critical Care Complex. Samitivej says it has treated patients from more than 38 countries, and runs a second centre on the 4th floor of Samitivej Srinakarin, open 08:00–17:00 every day.
Long opening hours, every day of the week, make early-morning or evening monitoring scans possible. Package details sit on a separate page that did not load when checked.

Worth confirming: Package prices could not be seen online; get a written quote, ask which branch performs each step, and confirm you are eligible under Thai law.
The centre covers each stage, from the first investigations (a consultation, a hysterosalpingogram and semen analysis) through IUI to IVF and ICSI with embryos cultured to blastocyst. Sperm can be retrieved surgically, and both embryos and sperm can be frozen.
Where a structural problem is found, the centre lists surgery including tubal reanastomosis, laparoscopic tuboplasty, cystectomy, adhesion release and hysteroscopy, plus a Golden Age Clinic, family planning and care for endometriosis. Its facilities page highlights imaging (4D ultrasound, spectral CT, 3 Tesla MRI), but says nothing about the embryology lab.
Apart from a pre-pregnancy check-up priced at 5,100–9,000 baht, no costs are published; IVF itself is not priced, and no overseas-patient programme appears on the centre's pages. Couples living on or near Phuket may find it saves trips to Bangkok.
Worth confirming: Egg freezing does not appear among the services; ask about IVF costs, whether embryology is carried out on site, and whether Thai law allows your treatment.
Couples who have been trying for a year without success are encouraged to come in for assessment. The centre tests both partners and then offers IUI, IVF or ICSI. Where a man has blocked ducts or problems with ejaculation, sperm can be retrieved surgically (TESE) and used for ICSI, and diagnostic laparoscopy helps find causes such as endometriosis or blocked tubes.
Embryology is handled in the centre's own laboratory, which it says meets international standards. If treatment succeeds, the same hospital's maternal-fetal medicine specialists, trained nurses and NICU can take over pregnancy, birth and newborn care.
Egg and embryo freezing, genetic testing of embryos and prices are not covered on the centre's page. It may suit couples living along the Eastern Seaboard who would like fertility treatment and maternity care under one roof.

Worth confirming: The centre is closed on Mondays and Sundays and says nothing about freezing or embryo testing; ask about both, about the cost, and whether Thai law permits your treatment.
The fertility centre on the 10th floor of Building B opens every day and keeps its embryo culture lab and an operating room on site. If tests show a problem, its doctors can treat it laparoscopically before a cycle begins. Treatments listed are insemination, IVF and ICSI with embryos grown to blastocyst, and chromosome screening of embryos by NGS or array CGH.
Phyathai 2 says the centre has Joint Commission International Clinical Care Program Certification, and it aims part of its service at expatriates in English, including a second-chance programme for those whose IUI, IVF or ICSI elsewhere has not worked, and it can be contacted on LINE and WeChat as well as by phone.
Prices for IVF are not published. The centre may suit people living in north-central Bangkok, or anyone wanting a new assessment after earlier cycles failed.
JCI Clinical Care Program Certification for the centre
Eligibility is the first thing to check here: the FAQ says IVF is only for heterosexual couples who are married and can show certified proof, and surrogacy is not arranged. For couples who qualify, the pathway is built around ICSI, with embryos grown to blastocyst on day 5–6 and tested by NGS-based PGT across all 24 chromosomes. On quality, it cites ESHRE clinical embryologist certification, ISO 9001:2015, and the laboratory standards ISO 15189:2022 and ISO 15190:2020.
Couples from abroad typically make two trips: a stay of 3–4 days for egg collection when the stimulation scans are done at home, or as long as 15 days if stimulation begins in Bangkok, then a shorter visit for transfer. Paid phone consultations, Mandarin-speaking staff and a visa support letter are available.
The FAQ prices its all-inclusive ICSI with PGT-A package at THB 495,000; the promotion page shows THB 498,000, with embryo testing, freezing and twelve months' storage of as many as eight embryos included.

For couples who want the lab work under one roof, Jetanin keeps its embryology, genetics and andrology in separate in-house laboratories and has two staff witness every step. IVF and ICSI are standard, with IMSI for severe male-factor cases, blastocyst culture, EmbryoScope time-lapse imaging and MACS sperm selection. Genetic testing runs on NGS and covers PGT-A, PGT-M and PGT-SR; a PGT-M case begins with a review, genetic counselling and saliva samples from both parents.
The hospital dates its JCI accreditation to 2017 and RTAC to 2018, lists ISO 15189 for lab processes, and says its embryologists hold ATE, TSRM and ESHRE certification. Each year the genetics lab joins UK and European external quality schemes.
International patients are directed to a coordinator on WhatsApp and told of a dedicated package, though no figures appear online.

Worth confirming: Neither prices nor eligibility criteria are online; get the international package in writing with its exclusions, and check which marriage papers you will be asked for.
For an overseas couple, the practical draw at SAFE's Gaysorn Amarin clinic is the support. Each international patient gets a named, multilingual assistant for translation, reminders, documents and WhatsApp messages, and the team prepares visa paperwork. The group's guide is 10–14 days in Bangkok split over two visits, and early scans can be done at home.
Stimulation lasts roughly 8–10 days of hormone injections, with monitoring two or three times, before eggs are collected under general anaesthesia. Laboratory options include EmbryoScope Plus time-lapse incubation, PGTseq-A chromosome testing (NGS with SNP), MACS and IMSI for sperm selection, and TESE/PESA. Acupuncture and ovarian rejuvenation are offered as extras. The group reports RTAC accreditation, an ISO 9001:2015 mark, ESHRE-certified embryologists and cryostorage watched around the clock.
The ICSI brochure covers four monitoring visits, medication, anaesthesia for collection, laser-assisted hatching alongside ICSI, a single EmbryoScope slide, and up to three embryos frozen. It does not state a price.

Beyond IVF sets out its prices before the first appointment, though all of them are starting figures. A pre-IVF health check costs from 4,900 baht, from 5,900 baht with thalassaemia screening added, or from 8,900 baht with hormone tests as well. ICSI is priced from 175,000 baht as a package; freezing and thawing embryos and chromosome testing are not included and would be added to the bill.
Treatment options include ovulation induction, IUI, IVF and ICSI, with laboratory add-ons available as extras. Beyond standard IVF the clinic covers donor treatment, surrogacy information and a pathway for LGBTQIA+ patients, and it works in partnership with Fertility Associates, founded in New Zealand in 1987.
The single permanent clinic is on Rama 2 Road in Chom Thong. A free nurse consultation is available for newcomers. The site does not name a laboratory accreditation or describe a service for patients travelling from abroad.

If screening embryos before transfer is high on your list, this clinic builds its IVF offer around exactly that. Cycles use IVF or ICSI with PGS, and PGD is also named. Found on the 13th floor of PS Tower, close to Asoke, the clinic covers the wider work-up too: fertility check-ups for women and men, semen analysis, sperm washing, TESE, TESA or PESA when sperm must be retrieved surgically, hysteroscopy, IUI and embryo transfer.
You can see who leads the clinic, since the medical and laboratory directors are named, but there is little published about lab accreditation or equipment. Couples coming from abroad are assigned a personal assistant and supported by staff who speak several languages, and there is a Chinese version of the website.
The packages page describes an all-inclusive arrangement but leaves out prices, so plan to request a full breakdown before you travel.

This clinic does nothing but fertility care. It is led by Professor Teraporn Vutyavanich and staffed by obstetrician-gynaecologists who also teach. Treatment options are IUI, IVF, ICSI and embryo transfer, with PGD for couples carrying an inherited condition, PGS screening and embryo banking. It says it accepts patients from Thailand and overseas, including foreigners living locally.
Its facilities include cleanroom egg-collection and culture rooms and incubators controlled by computer and protected by back-up power, and hormone results come back on the same day. RTAC accreditation is stated to run to November 2026. The doors are open daily, until 20:00 on weekdays, and the doctors' sessions are mostly on weekday evenings and at weekends, which may help people who work.
Prices are not shown online. For couples in the north, it offers IVF without the journey to Bangkok.
Apichart IVF quotes one all-in figure for a cycle of IVF or ICSI: THB 200,000. That sum covers stimulation drugs with no cap on the number of days, monitoring scans, egg collection under anaesthesia, the laboratory work, freezing of every embryo, storage of up to ten embryos for the first year, and up to two transfers carried out back to back.
Further frozen transfers from embryos already in storage cost THB 30,000 each, and medication to support a pregnancy after a positive test is charged on top. IUI is also offered, at THB 6,000, 9,000 or 12,000 depending on whether tablets, injections or both are used.
Patients are seen by the specialist who runs the practice, on Huay Kaew Road near Kad Suan Kaew. Married couples living in or near Chiang Mai who can attend during the short afternoon opening window are the likeliest fit; single women and same-sex couples are not accepted.

For couples based in Phuket, this branch means monitoring, egg collection and transfer can stay on the island. You will find the clinic on the Bangkok-Siriroj Building's 4th floor, and SAFE offers frozen embryo transfer, ICSI and IUI packages there. According to the group's brochures, the RTAC accreditation mark applies to this branch and to the Bangkok head clinic.
Inside the ICSI package you will find four monitoring visits with bloods and scans, the stimulation, suppression and trigger drugs, anaesthesia for egg collection, sperm preparation, laser-assisted hatching alongside ICSI, a single EmbryoScope slide, and up to three embryos frozen. Visitors from abroad are given a personal assistant who helps with translation, scheduling and visa documents.
Neither prices nor opening hours are posted for Phuket, so contact the branch directly to plan your dates.

Couples living around Pattaya, Sriracha or elsewhere in Chonburi may find this SAFE branch on Sukhumvit Road easier to reach for repeated scans than a Bangkok clinic. Of SAFE's five branches it is the one on the eastern seaboard, with packages for ICSI, IUI, frozen embryo transfer and a couples' health check.
The ICSI package includes four monitoring visits with blood tests and ultrasound, stimulation, suppression and trigger medication, egg collection under anaesthesia, sperm preparation, laser-assisted hatching alongside ICSI, a single EmbryoScope slide, and up to three embryos frozen. Patients from abroad can have a personal assistant for translation, appointments and visa papers.
The group's brochures make clear that its RTAC accreditation mark does not cover Sriracha. No prices or opening hours appear for the branch, so it is worth asking directly how its laboratory is accredited and what the package costs.

If knowing the price before you start matters to you, Jintabutr publishes it. A foreign patient pays THB 150,000 per cycle, split into three payments: THB 70,000 when the cycle begins, a further THB 60,000 when the eggs are collected, and the last THB 20,000 when the embryo goes back. Included are stimulation drugs (a maximum of 2,400 units), the doctors' fees, every scan and blood test during the cycle, the egg collection itself, ICSI, culture to blastocyst, the transfer, and a fortnight of pregnancy-support medication afterwards.
The clinic is in Bang Phlat on Bangkok's Thonburi side, on the 7th floor of Thanalongkorn Tower. Its founders came from medical schools and its doctors trained in Australia and the UK. Beyond the package it offers PGT-A, TESE and frozen embryo transfer.
Opening hours run every day of the week, though the website is Thai-only, so arranging an interpreter may be part of your planning.
Worth confirming: Check the extra cost of embryo freezing and storage, additional medication and PGT-A, whether English-speaking staff are available, and what paperwork Thai law asks of you.

Many couples arrive at a fertility clinic without a clear diagnosis, and Praram 9's IVF Center is set up to find one first. Both partners are assessed, using semen analysis, vaginal ultrasound, hormone tests and, if needed, diagnostic laparoscopy. Where a fibroid, polyp, adhesion or endometriotic cyst is found, the hospital can treat it surgically before moving on to assisted conception.
From there the published options are IUI, then IVF or ICSI ending in embryo transfer, with preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) and assisted hatching available as additions. The centre names four physicians, and an initial discussion by video is possible through the hospital's Praram 9 V service.
Plan your questions in advance: the page does not give clinic hours, prices or any egg-freezing option. It is a reasonable fit if you live on the eastern side of Bangkok and would prefer diagnosis, surgery and IVF to sit within the same hospital.

Worth confirming: Request the centre's hours and an itemised written quote that covers embryo screening and freezing, and check which papers Thai law asks of you.
If you are planning IVF in Thailand, you are really weighing up three things at once: the doctors who will guide your cycle, the embryology lab that will look after your eggs and embryos, and the paperwork that decides whether you can be treated at all. Prices and pregnancy figures are the first things most people compare, yet they are also where clinics differ widely in what they include and how they count.
We have arranged this guide in roughly the order you will meet each decision, starting with whether Thai law lets you be treated and ending with what happens to any frozen embryos once you fly home. Your own plan should come from a fertility specialist who has seen your results.
First, check you can be treated
Before comparing clinics, confirm you qualify. In its current form, Thailand's Protection of Children Born from Assisted Reproductive Technologies Act B.E. 2558 (2015) allows treatment only for legally married couples. It also prohibits commercial surrogacy and any buying or selling of eggs and sperm, and every surrogacy arrangement needs a committee's approval.
Change may be coming. The Department of Health Service Support began consulting the public on a revised bill in July 2026. According to reports, the draft would open treatment to same-sex spouses, in line with the marriage equality law passed in 2024, let some foreign married couples use surrogacy, and allow eggs, sperm and embryos to be exported once a committee approves. Until it is passed, the existing Act applies, so ask each clinic in writing which rules it will follow on your start date and which documents it wants, such as your marriage certificate and a translation.
Planning the trip around your cycle
An IVF cycle takes several weeks from the first injection to embryo transfer, and if all embryos are frozen first, the transfer becomes a second visit. Ask early which baseline tests and monitoring scans a clinic will accept from a doctor at home, and exactly how many days you need to be in Thailand for each stage.
Keep copies of every result and report as you go. The UK regulator, the HFEA, points out that your home regulator has no power over a clinic abroad, so find out before you pay how the clinic deals with complaints.
What happens behind the lab door
You will spend little time in the embryology lab, but your eggs and embryos spend days there. Ask who heads the embryology team, roughly how many cycles the lab runs a year, and what double-checks it uses so that samples cannot be confused.
Some labs carry outside accreditation, for example RTAC certification (a scheme run in Australia and New Zealand) or the ISO 15189 standard that applies to medical labs. Where a clinic quotes one, request the current certificate and confirm it names the IVF lab rather than another part of the hospital.
Find out whether the lab freezes by vitrification, a rapid method, or by slow cooling, and what share of embryos survive thawing there. If you are offered time-lapse incubation, the HFEA's current rating is that it makes no difference to the chance of having a baby.
Hospital unit or dedicated fertility clinic
In Thailand you can be treated in a fertility unit within a general hospital or at a clinic that does nothing but fertility care. A hospital unit has emergency, anaesthesia and maternity teams in the same building, which can help if you have another medical condition or develop ovarian hyperstimulation and need admission. A dedicated clinic can mean seeing the same small team throughout.
One is not automatically better than the other. What counts is knowing who you will see at each appointment, who carries out egg collection and transfer, where you would go if you became unwell, and how to reach someone at night.
Making sense of the numbers
Before you set one clinic's rate against another's, find out three things: whether it measures positive tests, scan-confirmed pregnancies or live births; whether the base is each cycle begun, each collection or each transfer; and which age band it describes.
Regulators advise care here. The US CDC warns that clinic-to-clinic comparisons may not be meaningful because patients and methods differ. The HFEA suggests treating published rates as a rough guide, not a forecast, and reading the multiple birth rate next to them. Ask your specialist about your own likely chances instead of relying on a clinic average.
One embryo or two
Carrying twins or triplets raises the risks for the pregnancy and for the babies, which is why ESHRE's guideline leans towards transferring one embryo at a time. The HFEA says single embryo transfer is standard for most UK patients, though practice in other countries varies.
Ask what the clinic normally advises for patients of your age, whether that advice can be given to you in writing, and what proportion of its births are multiples.
Reading a quote line by line
Because packages leave out different steps, a low headline figure can end up costing more. Request a written breakdown based on your own test results, then line the clinics up item by item.
Read the conditions as well: whether the package is restricted by nationality or residence, when it expires, what you get back if the cycle stops early or no embryo can be transferred, and whether insurance can be used alongside it.
Be cautious with extras. PGT-A, which screens embryos for chromosome problems, is often promoted as raising success rates, yet for most patients the HFEA rates it red on raising the odds of a baby, and green for lowering the risk of miscarriage. The HFEA expects clinics to show you the evidence behind anything they offer.
Consultations and tests before treatment
Stimulation drugs, including any extra doses beyond the package
Scans and blood tests during monitoring
Egg collection, the anaesthetic and ICSI
Embryo culture, time-lapse and PGT-A
Freezing, yearly storage and each frozen embryo transfer
Frozen embryos after you go home
If embryos are stored, read the storage contract before treatment begins: what it costs each year, how the clinic will remind you, and what it will do if it cannot reach you or payments stop.
Taking embryos or eggs out of Thailand is controlled, and the 2026 draft would require committee approval for export. Ask what the current requirements are, who organises the shipping, and whether a clinic in your own country is legally able to accept them.
Questions worth asking the clinic
Under the law as it stands today, do we qualify for treatment, and what paperwork will you need?
Which scans and tests can I have done at home, and how many days must I spend in Thailand for each stage?
Will one doctor follow my whole cycle, and who carries out collection and transfer?
Who heads the embryology lab, and which outside accreditation covers that lab specifically?
Is freezing done by vitrification, and what share of embryos survive thawing in your lab?
For my age band, what are your live birth figures per cycle started and per transfer, and from which years?
How many embryos do you usually advise transferring for someone my age, and what proportion of your births are twins or more?
Could you give me a written breakdown of every cost, from drugs and monitoring to storage and a frozen transfer?
Which extras are you suggesting for me, and what is the evidence for each?
If my cycle is stopped or there is no embryo to transfer, what do I get back?
What does storage cost each year, and what happens to my embryos if you lose touch with me?
What would it take to send frozen embryos to a clinic in my home country?
Things to be wary of
A success rate quoted on its own, with no years, no age band and nothing to say what it counts.
Talk of guaranteed results, or a personal success estimate before anyone has reviewed your tests.
Being nudged towards transferring two or more embryos, or no clear answer on the clinic's usual policy.
A package figure the clinic will not break down on paper, or hazy replies about extra charges.
Extras such as genetic screening treated as standard without any explanation of the evidence for you.
Uncertainty about whether Thai law permits your treatment, or suggestions for getting round it.
Many people start with practicalities: flight connections, how long you can stay, and whether you would like a hospital setting or a smaller clinic. Bangkok offers more choice, while Chiang Mai, Phuket and the Pattaya area each have a smaller selection. Wherever you go, compare the doctors, the laboratory and an itemised quote rather than the location alone.
Can we bring embryos home after treatment in Thailand?
Moving embryos out of Thailand is controlled, and the 2026 draft would require a committee's approval for each export. Please ask the clinic what is needed under today's rules, who would organise the shipping, and whether a clinic in your own country can legally take them, before you begin.
What if something goes wrong after we fly home?
Agree an aftercare plan before you leave: who will advise on medication, how you will report a pregnancy test, and how early scans will be arranged at home. The HFEA points out that your home regulator cannot step in over treatment abroad, so ask the clinic how it handles complaints and keep full copies of your records.
Are same-sex couples able to have IVF in Thailand?
Not clearly, at the moment. Thailand's 2024 marriage equality law changed the legal wording to spouses, and the revised bill under consultation in 2026 would extend access to married same-sex couples. Until that bill becomes law, ask each clinic directly what it can offer you.
