Thailand is a leading destination for IVF combined with advanced genetic screening (PGT). Through preimplantation genetic testing, fertility specialists can screen embryos for chromosomal health and sex-linked genetic conditions before transfer, supporting healthier pregnancies.
PGT runs alongside a standard IVF cycle. Once eggs are retrieved and fertilized, the embryos are grown to the blastocyst stage, and a few cells are gently sampled from the outer layer that will later form the placenta. These cells are analyzed to confirm the embryo has the right number of chromosomes (PGT-A) and, where there's a known family history, to check for specific inherited conditions such as sex-linked disorders (PGT-M).
Because only embryos with a healthy chromosomal profile are chosen for transfer, screening can improve implantation rates, lower the risk of miscarriage, and reduce the chance of passing on a serious genetic condition.

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.
Preimplantation genetic testing examines all chromosomes, including X and Y. This is clinically relevant when preventing or identifying sex-linked and sex-chromosome conditions, such as:
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.

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. One for egg collection and one for embryo transfer. Your complete IVF gender selection journey in ThailandPreparation Preparation begins 2-3 months before the procedure and includes:

OPTION B: Frozen Embryo TransferSeparate trip (2-3 weeks later) • Bangkok (5-7 days) Uterine lining preparation with medications, embryo of desired gender thawed and transferred, 10-minute procedure (no sedation), rest for 1-2 days, return home 10
Pregnancy TestDay 35-37 • Thailand or home Blood test (beta hCG) to confirm pregnancy 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 embryo. Benefits: Less time away from work/family, better uterine receptivity with frozen transfer, flexibility to schedule transfer when convenient.

This is approached within a medical context and is available to married couples with a valid marriage certificate. Selecting an embryo's sex for non-medical or personal reasons isn't permitted, so the best first step is a conversation with a specialist who can explain what applies to your circumstances. Our care team can connect you with the right partner clinic at no cost. How long do I need to stay in Thailand?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. How accurate is gender selection with PGT-A?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. Can I choose to have twins?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. What if I don't get embryos of my desired gender?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.

Here's what they had to say about their experience with Konkai Health Running Knight 🇺🇸Hip Replacement Pam van Wissen, was my representative. She was fantastic. She helped me in every way to find the best hospital for my hip replacement. She included all information with hospital name and doctors name so I could see their reviews. She even set up an appointment for me to see the surgeon. I could not have asked for better service or received better service. 5 Stars is not enough for her performance in this matter. Please I highly recommend them. Saved me a lot of time. February 5, 2026 Brennan Foti 🇺🇸Rhinoplasty The service has been great facilitating and making arrangements for my procedure. They are very quick with responses and answering questions. September 28, 2025 John Wade 🇳🇿Hip Replacement Many thanks to Konkai. After an online inquiry Konkai guided me to Praram9 orthopedic for a consultation on a hip injury. I had the consultation, clearly a femeral head collapse and needing the hip joint replacement. The beauty was in a half day full consultation, x-ray, ekg, blood work, chest exam ... everything needed to proceed with surgery was done. This was so professionally and efficiently done, all questions answered, no consultants, no referrals etc., all in house, all guided around the hospital. A friendly caring class act. So I then came back to Konkai to setup for the operation, with the same orthopedic team led by Dr. Peerapong that made the assessment. I returned 2 weeks later, admitted, had the replacement operation stayed 5 days with the hospital team, and quite frankly, it was a privilege to be in their care. Now after 10 days recovery in Bangkok i am ready to return home. Why Thailand, well in my country New Zealand, you get passed around to specialists, consultants, it all takes time, does not engender trust, and i think the profit motive is primary like the American system. Further, there are less facilities so more waiting for slots. Thailand has a care culture, and the expertise and professionalism with Konkai and Praram9 is superb. They have top quality facilities and capacity to fit your schedule. If i ever need any major surgery, this will be my first stop. Thanks again October 26, 2025 Brian Batchelor 🇬🇧Cataract Surgery "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." May 1, 2024 Chanelle Brown 🇳🇿Cosmetic Surgery Outstanding. The most safe, amazing communication these past couple of months with Pam from Konkai health. I asked soooo many questions there must be around 80+ emails from me and every single one has been replied in full. Even now 2 weeks after surgery. Super professional, and the surgeon Dr Thawatchai Boonpadhanapong, at Yanhee Hospital that Pam recommended to me for a breast implant removal, were just incredible. No money deposits asked for…just pure care. The service and systems at Yanhee were out the gate. I am so glad I travelled all that way and didn’t do it in New Zealand as I don’t think it would’ve been as good haha. I was so looked after by the amazing nurses, anaesthetist, Dr Thawatchai and my interpreter Mr Wing. It’s overwhelming looking for the right fit and if it wasn’t for Konkai Health and Pam I wouldn’t be feeling as happy as I am now 2 weeks after my surgery. I cannot thank you enough for what feels like a life transformation :) September 11, 2025 Karmann M. 🇺🇸Liposuction I came to Thailand from America for a liposuction in last week. In a Google search, back in May, I came across Konkai Health and decided to reach out to them.For my surgery Pam, recommended Rattinan Clinic out of Bangkok. Pam was able to connect me with the clinic to set up a consultation. The process was very easy.I recommend Konkai Health and Rattinan Clinic. Both are 10/10 July 9, 2025 Ana C. 🇳🇿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." April 5, 2024 Ricardo de Bies 🇳🇱Cataract Surgery "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." June 23, 2024 Laura Napolitano 🇱🇺Cosmetic surgery Pam from Konkai just made the right match for my plastic surgery, not only did it make me safe time, but the chosen doctor was just exceeding my expectations!
