What couples seeking IVF, donor gametes, or surrogacy in Thailand should know.
✍️ By Dr. Patsama Vichinsartvichai, MD, MClinEmbryol, EFOG-EBCOG, EFRM-ESHRE/EBCOG, FACOG — Reproductive Medicine Specialist · Updated August 2026
Thai law regulates how assisted reproductive technologies can be used, including consent, eligibility, donor anonymity, and embryo handling.
Treatments are restricted to married couples in most cases. Donor egg and sperm use is permitted under strict conditions. Surrogacy is highly regulated and limited to specific situations.
We provide a clear walk-through of regulations relevant to your situation and refer to legal counsel where appropriate.
