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 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. You'll need approximately 2-3 weeks in Thailand (though some clinics offer split-cycle options).
Please note that the prices provided are estimations and may vary based on various factors. Additionally, these prices do not include flights or accommodation.
All prices are in USD, unless otherwise indicated.
Gender selection (also called family balancing) is legal in Thailand for both medical and non-medical reasons. This makes Thailand one of the few countries in Asia where couples can legally choose their baby's gender through IVF and PGT-A testing.
Gender selection through In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) with Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A) allows couples to choose their baby's gender with over 99% accuracy. Thailand has become a sought-after destination for this procedure, offering advanced reproductive technology combined with competitive pricing and experienced fertility specialists.
Family balancing: Parents with multiple children of one gender who want to experience raising a child of the opposite gender. This is the most common reason, accounting for approximately 60-70% of gender selection cases globally.
Cultural or personal preferences: In some cultures, having at least one male heir or balancing sons and daughters holds deep significance.
Medical reasons: Preventing sex-linked genetic disorders like hemophilia (affects males), Fragile-X syndrome (more severe in males), or Duchenne muscular dystrophy (affects males).
Secondary infertility with gender preference: Couples struggling to conceive naturally who want to ensure their next child is a specific gender.
The price difference between Thailand and Western countries is substantial—and it's not about compromising quality. Thailand's lower operating costs, high-volume specialty clinics, and competitive market create genuine value.
IVF with gender selection uses Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A), a genetic screening technique that analyzes embryos' chromosomes before transfer to the uterus.
The science: Every embryo is composed of cells with chromosomes. Females have XX chromosomes, males have XY chromosomes. PGT-A examines a few cells from each embryo (typically 5-10 cells from the trophectoderm—the outer layer that will become the placenta) to determine:
Accuracy: PGT-A gender determination is over 99% accurate—far more reliable than older methods like sperm sorting (MicroSort), which offered only 70-90% accuracy.
Timeline: The entire process from starting stimulation medications to embryo transfer takes approximately 2-3 weeks, though some couples split this into two trips.
Preparation
Preparation begins 2-3 months before the procedure and includes:
Split-cycle option: two shorter trips
Some patients choose to split their IVF cycle into two trips:
Trip 1 (2 weeks): Stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo biopsy. Return home while embryos are frozen and tested.
Trip 2 (5-7 days): Return for frozen embryo transfer of selected gender embryo.
Benefits: Less time away from work/family, better uterine receptivity with frozen transfer, flexibility to schedule transfer when convenient.
Ideal candidates for gender selection IVF should meet these criteria:

Yes, gender selection through IVF and PGT-A is fully legal in Thailand for both medical and non-medical reasons (family balancing). However, the procedure is only available to married couples who can provide a valid marriage certificate.
Full cycle: 2-3 weeks from starting stimulation to embryo transfer.
Split cycle option:
Most couples choose the split-cycle approach for flexibility and better success rates.
PGT-A gender determination is over 99% accurate. The technology analyzes the actual chromosomes of the embryo (XX for female, XY for male), making it the most reliable gender selection method available.
Many clinics will transfer two embryos if you request it, which increases the chance of twins. However:
It is best to discuss this wish early on with your doctor so they can work with you towards the desired outcome while balancing risks.
This is a risk with gender selection. On average:
Important: Always ensure you have adequate ovarian reserve before traveling. Most clinics require an AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) test and antral follicle count beforehand.
No. Thai law requires a valid marriage certificate for all IVF procedures, including gender selection. This requirement is strictly enforced at all licensed fertility clinics.
Family balancing (also called "gender balancing") refers to using gender selection to balance the gender composition of children in a family. For example:
Family balancing is the most common reason for non-medical gender selection and is fully legal in Thailand.
Most clinics recommend waiting 2-3 months between cycles to allow:
Some women can do back-to-back cycles, but this is decided on a case-by-case basis.
We are clients from Australia and we could not recommend Konkai health any more!
We are so pleased with the level of service from Pam in helping us organise a surgery for my husband which took place in Thailand.
We had to change a few appointments here and there (life happened on our end) and Pam was all too willing to help with no problems.
Pam helped me find both a doctor and a surgical team for my heart surgery during a time when I was struggling to get any responses from the hospitals I contacted directly. She located everything I needed and was invaluable in overcoming language barriers. I highly recommend her assistance!
I am extremely happy with the service provided by this page. It made it so easy for me to find and appoint doctors for my children and wife. The process was smooth, fast, and hassle-free. The interface was user-friendly, and I felt assured knowing I could get the best care for my family quickly. I highly recommend this service to anyone looking for a reliable way to book medical appointments. Thank you!
"Whilst searching for information on getting my cataracts done, I found that most websites do not provide sufficient information. I was fortunate enough to find Konkai.Health and connect with Pam.
She and other members of Konkai go far and beyond to do everything possible to give you the best advice.
I highly recommend this company for health related matters whilst you are in Thailand. Real five star assistance."
I made the decision to undergo cosmetic surgery in Bangkok, Thailand due to the high prices in Australia, Unsure about choosing the right hospital and doctors in Thailand, my friend suggested Konkai Medical Tourism Agency, they guided me through everything and their professional team, with strong medical connections in Thailand, made the process smooth.
The surgery went well, and I’m very happy with the results.
I highly recommend Konkai to anyone considering to come to Thailand for medical treatment 👍
"Konkai helped me with what was becoming a confusing process. After contacting Konkai they quickly found a doctor that specialized in the procedure I requested and helped set up an appointment during my trip to Thailand. I will definitely contact them again if the need arises."
"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 can say that the whole medical journey was very pleasant. The information given before the actual start was good. The meeting and intake with the doctor was clear.
Konkai Health was always responding fast and helpful if I came up with questions. And the actual surgery had a good outcome also. Now I just ended my last check-up, and I am very delighted how everything went."
"The customer care at Konkai Health has been great. I was looking at treatment options for my back. They got back to me fast and gave me options to connect with some top doctors and surgeons in Thailand. The doctors assessed my condition, did a video call, and gave me recommendations to fix it. Thank you. I recommend them for anyone interested in medical tourism to Thailand."
"I will say you made it so easy to get everything scheduled. I expected it to take much longer trying to find doctors waiting on responses etc. I was happy with the doctor just going ahead and getting it done on the same day as the first procedure. Everything went well and all the nurses were great. Thanks!"
