How we built this page for you
Everything here comes from what each clinic says about women's health and OB-GYN services 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:

The Women's Center shares the North Wing's 2nd floor in Building B with the fertility clinic, which can make the step from fertility treatment to antenatal care a short one. It deals with check-ups and menstrual problems as well as pregnancy, delivery, infertility and menopause, and the hospital says 97 specialists work with it, including subspecialists in urogynaecology, reproductive medicine, gynaecologic oncology and maternal-fetal medicine.
Prenatal testing includes NIPT, chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis, and the obstetric team also performs cervical cerclage and blood transfusion to the baby in the womb; newborn intensive care is on site. Listed operations include myomectomy, hysterectomy and laparoscopic surgery, and linked clinics cover IVF, menopause, perinatal care, breastfeeding and breast care.
It may suit women with a high-risk or twin pregnancy who want specialist obstetric and gynaecological care in one department.

Worth confirming: No delivery packages or prices are given; ask for a written estimate covering the birth, your room and any NICU stay.
For a pregnancy that follows fertility treatment, Building D's 2nd-floor Women's Health Center provides care from early advice through birth, recovery and breastfeeding under its 'Quality Pregnancy Program', and runs a Breastfeeding Clinic as well. Gynaecology is handled in the same centre.
Higher-risk pregnancies, including those in women over 35, twin pregnancies and mothers with existing medical conditions, are looked after by maternal-fetal medicine specialists who screen for pre-eclampsia and preterm labour. NIPT can be done from week 10 to week 20, scans use 4D ultrasound, and neonatologists staff a NICU day and night. Gynaecological operations can be done laparoscopically or with robotic assistance.
A handful of packages appear, for example an RSV vaccine for pregnant women and a laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy.

For patients moving from fertility treatment into pregnancy, the Women's Health Center is in the same building as the Fertility Center, on the 1st floor of the Sukhumvit Wing, and keeps the same daily hours. Its services run from antenatal classes and check-ups through delivery to postpartum care, plus general gynaecology, urogynaecology and gynaecological oncology.
Samitivej is a designated UNICEF Baby Friendly Hospital and offers water baths for natural births. Gynaecological care includes hysteroscopy, laparoscopy and other minimally invasive surgery, as well as pelvic floor reconstruction, treatment for stress incontinence and urodynamic testing. A baby needing intensive care would go to the NICU in the campus's own Samitivej Children's Hospital.
This may suit women who would like a water-birth option, or who want bladder and pelvic floor care handled within the same team.

Worth confirming: No birth packages or prices are listed; ask for the current delivery package and how much a NICU stay would add.
Care at the Women's Health Centre starts before pregnancy, with pre-conception checks and family planning, and continues to menopause. Obstetricians work alongside maternal-fetal medicine specialists, anaesthetists and nurses, and antenatal screening includes tests for Down syndrome and thalassaemia.
The labour unit is staffed around the clock, with four delivery rooms plus rooms for caesareans, a nurse for each mother, and an obstetrician, a neonatal paediatrician and an anaesthetist available. A partner or relative can stay until the baby is born, and babies needing intensive care go to the NICU. Cancers of the cervix, ovary and endometrium are diagnosed and treated at the hospital's Gynecology Centre (4th floor), including by laparoscopic and robotic surgery.
Antenatal and Birth & Care packages are published. To use a delivery package you must be at least 36 weeks pregnant (35 with twins) and have had your pre-delivery tests at BNH.
Worth confirming: Delivery packages carry conditions on gestation and testing; read the current terms and ask what is charged for an early birth or a NICU stay.
MedPark's Obstetrics and Gynecology Center, on the 7th floor at Counter D by the west lifts, is set up for pregnancies that need more than routine care. Screening and diagnosis include first-trimester screening, NIPT, chorionic villus sampling, amniocentesis and cordocentesis, and the delivery rooms lead straight into the neonatal intensive care unit.
Where a problem is found before birth, the centre lists fetoscopic laser for complications in twins, transfusions given to the baby in the womb, fetal shunts and surgery for spina bifida before delivery. For labour itself, women can use a birthing pool or a yoga ball, and gas is offered to ease pain.
On the gynaecology side the range runs from Pap smears and colposcopy through minimally invasive hysterectomy and surgery for endometriosis and prolapse to gynaecologic cancer treatment, HIPEC included. It is most relevant to women facing a complicated pregnancy or a diagnosis in the baby.

Worth confirming: There are no birth packages or prices on the centre's page; request a cost estimate and check whether fetal procedures or time in the NICU are charged on top.
On its published page, women's health care at this hospital is mostly outpatient work: contraception and family planning, check-ups before marriage and during pregnancy, obstetric and gynaecological ultrasound, cervical screening alongside HPV vaccination, minimally invasive surgery and menopause care. PCOS, fibroids, endometriosis, abnormal bleeding and sexually transmitted infections are among the conditions named.
The only prices given are for three STI screening packages, costing between 6,500 and 9,300 baht. The clinic keeps longer hours on weekdays, until 20:00, and closes at 16:00 on Saturdays and Sundays.
Delivery, a labour ward and neonatal intensive care are not mentioned. Women living in Chiang Mai who need gynaecological care, screening or pregnancy check-ups may find it convenient, and the hospital's case coordinators can arrange help with language.

Gynaecology and obstetrics at Chiangmai Ram are run by doctors you find through the hospital's directory, which includes maternal-fetal medicine specialists for pregnancies that need closer watching. There is no separate women's centre page, so expect to ask the hospital directly about clinics, scans and screening rather than reading about them online.
Pregnancy and early parenthood get the clearest coverage. Birth packages are listed in the site menu, and once the baby arrives the paediatric team includes a newborn specialist and babies can be vaccinated from day one. There has also been a course for parents-to-be that paired obstetricians' and paediatricians' talks with hands-on baby-care sessions from the nursery staff.
This is a practical option for a woman already living in Chiang Mai who wants an obstetrician or gynaecologist at an accredited private hospital and is happy to request an interpreter in advance.

Worth confirming: Package details for births were not online when checked; ask for today's prices and whether there is a neonatal intensive care unit on site before you commit.
Maternal-fetal medicine physicians lead the 1st-floor Women's Health Center, with an emphasis on high-risk pregnancy, prenatal diagnosis and assessment of the baby before birth. Gynaecology, screening and family planning are offered too.
Among the listed services are amniocentesis, first-trimester screening, genetic testing, 2D to 4D ultrasound, colposcopy, LEEP, HPV vaccination and endoscopic surgery for conditions such as endometriosis and ectopic pregnancy. There is a fully equipped labour room, every newborn is assigned a paediatrician, newborn specialists provide neonatal critical care, and the breastfeeding clinic can be reached at any hour. Birth certificates are issued for babies of foreign parents as well as Thai ones.
The 'Kiss my Baby Sabaijai' childbirth packages are all-inclusive and range from 67,000 to 166,000 baht.
Vachira Phuket opened an infertility clinic in 2023, based in the OB-GYN examination room on the outpatient building's 2nd floor, where the antenatal clinic is also based. For Phuket residents this offers a public-hospital starting point for fertility questions.
If you are pregnant, delivery and recovery take place on the 3rd- and 4th-floor obstetric wards, which have private rooms at published daily rates. A baby needing intensive care is moved to the Baan Khun Phum building's NICU, where there is also a sick-newborn ward. Because this is the province's referral hospital, specialist teams such as the Andaman Heart Centre and surgery are on site if complications arise.
English information about maternity and fertility care is limited on the website. It may suit island residents who want public maternity care with neonatal intensive care in the same hospital.
Worth confirming: There is no English information on the antenatal clinic, infertility clinic or labour ward; phone first about registration, charges for non-Thai patients and English-speaking staff.
The Women's Health Center, on the 2nd floor of Building B, groups subspecialists in reproductive medicine, maternal-fetal medicine, minimally invasive surgery and gynaecologic oncology. Some procedures can be booked for after 19:00.
Pregnancy care runs from the early weeks to delivery, with risk assessment, lab tests, and ultrasound in 2D and 4D. Where a pregnancy involves twins, pre-eclampsia, high blood pressure, diabetes, or kidney or heart disease, care is shared with neonatologists. On the gynaecology side are screening for cervical, ovarian and breast cancer, colposcopy, digital mammography, cancer surgery, menopause care including bone density scans, and laparoscopic treatment of cysts, fibroids and endometriosis.
There are no published packages or prices. Women in Pattaya facing a complicated pregnancy or a gynaecological condition may value having several subspecialists in one place.
Maternal-fetal and reproductive medicine subspecialists
Worth confirming: A delivery suite and NICU are not described on the centre's page; ask whether labour rooms and a NICU are available if you intend to give birth here.
Much of what this department lists is everyday women's health: cervical cancer screening, STD testing, contraception and family planning, premarital check-ups and menopause counselling. For pregnancy it offers antenatal and postnatal care, ultrasound screening, fetal monitoring and care for complicated pregnancies.
The surgical work named on the page is limited to diagnostic laparoscopy and abdominal hysterectomy, and the department emphasises that consultations and treatment are kept confidential. The wider site has a packages and promotions area, but nothing specific to this department or its prices.
For a woman based in Pattaya who wants screening, contraception advice or antenatal check-ups near the city centre, this is a convenient choice, and interpretation can be booked through Expat Care.

Women researching fertility will find that Siriraj's obstetrics and gynaecology department has units for reproductive medicine, infertility and gynaecologic endocrinology, with maternal-fetal medicine, family planning, oncology, endoscopy and female pelvic reconstructive surgery alongside.
The simpler route for an appointment is the Gynaecology Center at the private SiPH wing, open 07:00–21:00 every day on the 2nd floor of Zone E. Services include transvaginal ultrasound, saline sonohysterography and hysteroscopy, which are often part of a fertility work-up, plus laparoscopic or open operations on the uterus and ovaries and reversal of tubal sterilisation. It also covers Pap smears and HPV tests, colposcopy, contraception, prolapse and stress incontinence surgery, and menopause and bone density care.
This suits women who want university subspecialists but need appointments in the evening or at weekends.

Worth confirming: The SiPH centre covers gynaecology only; if you will need antenatal care or delivery, ask where that is provided and what it costs.
Bangkok Public teaching hospital (Thai Red Cross Society)
Pregnancy care here is organised through the Antenatal Care Clinic (Bhor Por Ror Building, 10th floor), which follows low-risk and high-risk pregnancies through to delivery. Services include counselling on genetic conditions and thalassaemia, screening for gestational diabetes, assessment for complications and checks on the baby's wellbeing.
Behind the clinic the department has a delivery room, inpatient beds, operating theatres and an intensive care unit for obstetric and gynaecological patients, which matters if a pregnancy becomes complicated. A reproductive health clinic appears in the department's listings too.
The antenatal clinic works weekdays only. For appointments outside those hours, a fee-paying after-hours OB-GYN clinic, five floors higher in the same building, runs on weekday evenings and weekend mornings. This setting may appeal to women in central Bangkok who value having intensive care on hand during pregnancy.
Antenatal clinic for low- and high-risk pregnancies
Worth confirming: Delivery packages and prices are not published; request an estimate and ask whether after-hours fees will be added to any of your appointments.
Ramathibodi's obstetrics and gynaecology department, on the 4th floor of Building 1, is divided into subspecialty units, and each has its own published phone line. For anyone exploring fertility, the Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility unit is the one to contact; the department also runs Maternal Fetal Medicine, Gynecologic Oncology, separate obstetric and gynaecology clinics, and Reproductive Health and Family Planning.
Being able to dial the right team directly is useful in a hospital of this size. If a baby needs intensive care after birth, the Somdech Phra Debaratana Medical Center lists 12 neonatal units among its 34 intensive care units.
The English page is a short version of the Thai site, so you will not find clinic times, antenatal programmes or birth details in English. The department is better suited to women with a complex pregnancy or a gynaecological cancer who want university subspecialists than to someone looking for a private, English-led service.

Worth confirming: Clinic times and the cost of a birth are only in Thai, if at all; phone the obstetrics clinic about registering and what delivery would cost.
The Women's Health Center is on the 12th floor of Building B and opens daily from 07:30 to 19:30. During pregnancy it offers care for normal and high-risk cases, 2D and 4D scans, a blood test that screens for Down's syndrome, amniocentesis, checks on the baby and antenatal classes, then postpartum care and a breast milk clinic; there are more than ten delivery rooms.
For gynaecology the centre covers check-ups and pre-marriage consultations, cervical screening by Pap smear, ThinPrep, HPV DNA or colposcopy, digital mammography, bone density scans and menopause care. Fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, prolapse and ectopic pregnancy can all be treated with endoscopic surgery, and the directory lists fetomaternal, gynaecologic oncology, reproductive medicine and pelvic floor specialists.
With an infertility centre two floors below, it suits women who would like fertility treatment and any pregnancy that follows to be managed in one hospital.
Worth confirming: The centre's page shows no birth packages or prices and says nothing about neonatal intensive care; ask about both before you plan to deliver here.
Sriphat's OB-GYN clinic, up on the 13th floor, handles menstrual and hormone problems, menopause, and care from early pregnancy to birth. The doctors listed come from the university's Faculty of Medicine and include specialists in obstetric ultrasound, menopause, gynaecologic oncology, and pelvic floor and laparoscopic surgery; the Faculty's own department also has a maternal-fetal medicine unit.
One floor down, obstetricians staff the labour room, and the adjacent nursery looks after babies up to 28 days old who need help with jaundice, early birth or low weight. Before pregnancy, Sriphat offers a premarital and pre-pregnancy check-up, and it provides the RSV vaccine to pregnant women.
Women in Chiang Mai who want to give birth privately under university specialists, with interpreters through the Foreign Center, may find it a good fit.
Worth confirming: Birth package prices are not in English online; get an estimate in writing, and check whether a newborn who becomes unwell would be transferred to intensive care in the main hospital.
Infertility assessment and menopause care both appear on the Women's Center's list, though most of its published detail concerns pregnancy and gynaecology. Pregnancy care covers family planning, antenatal visits, obstetric ultrasound, fetal monitoring and management of high-risk pregnancies, with normal and caesarean births in dedicated labour rooms and caesarean suites, followed by postnatal care and a newborn nursery.
Gynaecological services include ThinPrep cervical screening, colposcopy and mammography, and treatment for bleeding problems, endometriosis, fibroids and ovarian cysts by laparoscopy, hysteroscopy or hysterectomy.
Delivery packages cost between 51,900 and 130,800 baht; there is also a 4,500-baht maternal-fetal medicine package. International parents-to-be can join a mother class and look round the facilities beforehand.
Weighing up women's health and OB-GYN services in Thailand
For many people reading this site, women's health care sits either side of fertility treatment: gynaecology and screening before a cycle, then antenatal care and a birth once a pregnancy is under way. The provider that suits a quick screening visit may not be the one you want for months of pregnancy appointments and a delivery, where the hospital's round-the-clock cover matters.
Below we look at the specialists you may meet, screening, antenatal care, choosing a delivery hospital, insurance and the paperwork for a baby born in Thailand. This is general information only; your own doctor or midwife should guide your care.
Screening and gynaecology checks
From 30 onwards, the WHO advises cervical screening every five to ten years using a high-performance method like HPV testing, on a different timetable for women living with HIV. In Thailand, Thai women aged 30 to 60 can have HPV screening through the universal coverage scheme, with self-sampling kits handed out free at public hospitals and clinics. If the scheme does not cover you, ask the provider which test it uses and the price.
For breast checks, find out which methods are available (clinical examination, mammography or ultrasound), which age groups they are offered to, and how you will receive the results. Take earlier reports with you so changes can be spotted.
Who looks after what
Obstetricians care for you during pregnancy, birth and the weeks that follow. Gynaecologists deal with everything else in the reproductive system, from periods and contraception to menopause, screening, fibroids and endometriosis, and many doctors do both as OB-GYNs. For higher-risk pregnancies, for instance where the mother lives with a long-term illness or the baby must be watched more closely, there is a further sub-specialty called maternal-fetal medicine.
You can look up a doctor's licence and recorded specialty using the Medical Council of Thailand's public search. If a sub-specialist is recommended, check that they work at the hospital where you plan to give birth.
Pregnancy appointments and what packages cover
WHO guidance is for at least eight antenatal contacts, with the first in the opening 12 weeks, and a single ultrasound scan by 24 weeks. Hospitals set their own schedules, so ask how many appointments to expect and who will see you.
Private hospitals in Thailand commonly sell combined pregnancy and birth packages. Get the terms on paper and look for:
How many doctor appointments are included, and whether you keep the same obstetrician
The scans and blood tests that are covered, and those charged on top
Separate prices for a vaginal birth and a caesarean, and how an unplanned caesarean is billed
The room, the number of nights and the newborn care after delivery
How the price changes if complications bring extra tests, more nights or neonatal care
Picking the hospital for the birth
Find out who is physically in the hospital overnight. Ask whether the obstetric, anaesthetic and paediatric doctors are in the building at all hours or called in from home, and how fast an emergency caesarean can happen. The WHO describes caesarean birth as potentially life-saving when there is a medical need and says that need should be the reason for it, so ask how the hospital reaches that decision and how it supports a vaginal birth.
The neonatal unit deserves equal scrutiny if your baby might need specialist care. Hospitals often quote a level for their unit, but the scales are not uniform, so ask what care it gives in practice, which babies it usually treats, and where it sends those it cannot.
Insurance before you conceive
Maternity cover differs widely between policies, so check yours before a pregnancy begins or before you relocate. Ask whether there is a waiting period before maternity benefits start, whether payments are capped, and whether a pregnancy that started before the policy is excluded. A travel policy may exclude everyday pregnancy care and an overseas birth entirely, so confirm before relying on it.
Check whether your policy covers the newborn, including any neonatal unit stay. If you are paying yourself, ask what deposit the hospital takes when you are admitted to deliver and how charges beyond the package are billed.
Registering a baby born in Thailand
Every birth in Thailand must be recorded with the Thai civil registration authorities; according to the National Statistical Office, the Civil Registration Act allows 15 days for this. Under a Ministry of Public Health order from September 2026, hospitals may no longer register births at district offices for families, so parents must go themselves. Ask the hospital which documents it provides and the district office what else it requires.
Foreign parents also have their own country's process to follow; the UK, for instance, recognises the Thai birth certificate and offers UK registration as an option. Look up your embassy's rules for the baby's passport well before the due date.
On the ward itself, ask whether night-shift midwives and nurses can communicate with you, and whether your partner or an interpreter may stay throughout labour.
Questions worth asking the clinic
Which cervical screening test do you use, and what does it cost if I am not covered by the Thai scheme?
Which breast checks do you offer, and how will I receive the results?
Will one obstetrician look after me through pregnancy and be there for the birth?
Which scans and blood tests are inside the package, and which cost extra?
If I need an unplanned caesarean or stay longer, how is that charged?
At night, are an obstetrician, anaesthetist and paediatrician in the building or on call?
What care can your neonatal unit give, and where would my baby be transferred if needed?
How do you decide a caesarean is necessary, and how do you support a vaginal birth?
May my partner or an interpreter be with me for the whole of labour?
Will you deal directly with my insurer for the birth, and is the baby covered?
Which documents will you give me to register the birth myself?
Can I have my notes and scan reports in English?
Things to be wary of
A pregnancy or birth package with nothing on paper about what is and is not included.
No straight answer on who staffs the labour ward and anaesthesia at night.
Evasive replies about the neonatal unit or where an unwell newborn would go.
Being steered towards a planned caesarean or additional scans with no reason given.
Reluctance to hand over your results, scan reports or antenatal notes.
When should I move from my fertility clinic to an obstetrician?
It differs between clinics and pregnancies, and your fertility doctor will tell you when. Ask early how the handover works, especially if the women's centre is at a different hospital.
Can a gynaecologist look into fertility before I go to an IVF clinic?
Several hospital women's centres list reproductive medicine specialists or infertility assessment, and university departments have dedicated reproductive endocrinology units. A gynaecologist can explain which tests are relevant and when a referral to a fertility clinic makes sense.
Will insurance cover my pregnancy after IVF?
That depends on your policy. Ask your insurer whether maternity benefits start only after a waiting period, whether there is a limit on what it pays, and whether your baby's care, including any time in a neonatal unit, is included.
How do I check an obstetrician's registration in Thailand?
Search the Medical Council of Thailand's public lookup for the doctor's licence and recorded specialty. You are entitled to ask a subspecialist where they did their further training.
