Gender Selection in Thailand

With many countries like Canada, Australia, China, India and United Kingdom not allowing gender selection, Thailand has become a popular destination for couples who would like to do family planning or balancing.

Thailand leads the way in gender selection through PGT-A/PGT-M technology, offering world-class care at a fraction of Western costs. Our partner fertility centers in Thailand combine the latest genetic screening capabilities with compassionate care, delivered by internationally trained specialists.

For families seeking gender selection, we assist with IVF with gender selection packages starting at approximately $12,000 USD, including genetic counseling, IVF procedures, and PGT testing. Our JCI-accredited facilities maintain rigorous international standards while offering significant savings - typically 40-60% less than US or European prices.

Each patient receives personalized care coordination, from initial consultation through to embryo transfer, with dedicated English-speaking staff helping navigate every step. With direct flights from major cities and luxury recovery accommodations, Thailand makes advanced fertility treatments both accessible and comfortable.

Gender Selection IVF in Thailand

Gender selection through In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) with Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) allows couples to choose their baby's gender with high accuracy. Thailand has become a sought-after destination for this procedure, offering advanced reproductive technology combined with competitive pricing and experienced fertility specialists.

Understanding Gender Selection

Gender selection IVF combines traditional IVF treatment with genetic testing technology. The process involves creating embryos through IVF, testing them for chromosomal gender, and transferring embryos of the desired gender. The most common method used is Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A), which provides over 99% accuracy in gender determination.

Eligibility and Requirements

Ideal candidates for gender selection IVF should meet these criteria:

  • Female partner under 43 years of age
  • Good ovarian reserve
  • Normal uterine cavity
  • No major medical conditions
  • Valid marriage certificate (required by Thai law)

Preparation

Preparation begins 2-3 months before the procedure and includes:

  • Comprehensive fertility assessment
  • Medical history review
  • Hormonal profile testing
  • Semen analysis
  • Lifestyle modifications (including diet and supplements)
  • Stopping certain medications if necessary

The Procedure

The gender selection IVF process typically takes 2-3 weeks and involves several steps:

  1. Ovarian stimulation through hormone injections (10-12 days)
  2. Egg retrieval under light sedation
  3. Fertilization of eggs with sperm in the laboratory
  4. Embryo development (5-6 days)
  5. Genetic testing of embryos
  6. Transfer of selected embryo(s)
  7. Pregnancy test after two weeks

Treatment Timeline

Most patients stay in Thailand for 2-3 weeks for a complete cycle. The typical schedule includes:

  • Day 1-2: Initial consultation and tests
  • Day 2-12: Ovarian stimulation and monitoring
  • Day 13-14: Egg retrieval
  • Day 14-19: Embryo development and testing
  • Day 19-20: Embryo transfer
  • Day 21: Return home
  • Day 34-35: Pregnancy test

Costs and Considerations

A complete gender selection IVF cycle in Thailand typically costs between $12,000 to $15,000, which includes:

  • Initial consultation
  • Medication for ovarian stimulation
  • Egg retrieval
  • Laboratory procedures
  • PGT-A testing
  • Embryo transfer
  • Initial pregnancy monitoring

This represents significant savings compared to Western countries, where the same treatment can cost $20,000 to $30,000 or is legally not allowed.

Legal Considerations

While gender selection for non-medical reasons is legal in Thailand, patients should be aware that:

  • Treatment is only available to married couples; you'll need to provide a marriage certificate to proof that you are legally married
  • Both partners must be present for the procedure
  • Some clinics and hospitals may require additional documentation
  • Treatment must be performed at licensed fertility centers

This procedure represents a significant investment in both time and resources, but many couples find that Thailand offers an excellent balance of quality care, advanced technology, and competitive pricing.

Common Questions

Is gender selection IVF legal in Thailand?

Arrow down

Yes, gender selection through IVF and PGT is legal in Thailand for both medical and non-medical reasons. However, the procedure is only available to married couples who can provide a valid marriage certificate. The treatment must be performed at licensed fertility centers by qualified medical professionals. This makes Thailand one of the few countries in Asia where non-medical gender selection is permitted by law.

How long do I need to stay in Thailand for the complete treatment?

Arrow down

A complete IVF cycle with gender selection typically requires a stay of 2-3 weeks in Thailand. This timeline allows for all necessary procedures, from initial consultation through egg retrieval, genetic testing, and embryo transfer. Some patients may choose to split their stay into two visits, with the first visit for stimulation and egg retrieval, and a second shorter visit for embryo transfer, though this depends on individual circumstances and clinic protocols. Always wait to finalize booking your travel and accommodation until you have confirmation on the timeline from the clinic or hospital.

Emergency operation and post-surgery checkup

"I live in New Zealand, and my partner and I went on a holiday in Laos (Asia). I became sick and needed an emergency stomach operation. I reached out to this company, and they have been nothing but helpful.

They helped us with translating in Laos; they organised a taxi driver who was waiting for us at arrival and drove us to the hospital, where they organised a scan for me. I only needed to show my passport and an email when I arrived. I was already in the system for the appointment.

Everything went really smoothly. The company is professional and reliable, and the staff is super friendly too. I would highly recommend this company. I am grateful for the great service this company offered when I was in need."

I would like to say thank you to all staff, nurses and especially to Dr. Keerati Pungpapong who all did an absolutely excellent job and I felt from the first moment in best hands. Thank you again Khun Pam from Konkai Health for a great job.

Sex Reassignment Surgery

I am very happy with the results. I cannot thank the people at Asia Cosmetic Hospital enough for their help and service while I was in the hospital and my stay at the hotel. I feel fine with very little if any pain and I am bringing my strength back up to before surgery.  I know it will take many months for everything to heal but right now I feel strong both physical and mentally.

Thank you Konkai for all the work on your part to bring this all together for me. You don’t know what this means to me.
