As a popular destination for assisted reproduction in Asia, Thailand has seen a continuous rise in inquiries about egg freezing and surrogacy in the past two years. Many women are asking: How much does egg freezing and surrogacy actually cost in Thailand in 2026? How do you choose a hospital without being cheated?

I suggest you bookmark it and read it carefully.
1. Detailed cost of egg freezing and surrogacy in Thailand in 2026
Many people see quotes ranging from over one hundred thousand to several hundred thousand RMB online and don't know which one is real. In fact, the cost of egg freezing and surrogacy in Thailand mainly consists of three parts: medical fees, agency service fees, and living expenses. Let's break it down according to the latest market conditions in 2026.
1. Egg freezing cost
For egg freezing alone, the price range at regular hospitals in Thailand is 80,000 to 150,000 Thai Baht, approximately 16,000 to 30,000 RMB. This fee includes ovulation induction medication, egg retrieval surgery, and the first year of egg freezing storage. If you choose an institution like Thailand OneLife Fertility Center, the package price is more transparent, usually around 25,000 RMB all-inclusive. The annual egg freezing storage fee is separate, about 3,000 to 5,000 Thai Baht.
2. Surrogacy cost
Surrogacy is the major expense. In 2026, the total cost for legal surrogacy in Thailand is usually between 500,000 and 800,000 Thai Baht, equivalent to 100,000 to 160,000 RMB. This specifically includes: egg source costs (if using donor eggs, about 40,000 to 80,000 Thai Baht), embryo culture and genetic screening (60,000 to 100,000 Thai Baht), surrogate mother compensation (200,000 to 300,000 Thai Baht), and legal fees and medical management fees (100,000 to 150,000 Thai Baht). If you choose the Tulip Fertility Center or the international referral channel of Kyrgyzstan Tulip, the costs will fluctuate slightly but remain within this range.
3. Living and miscellaneous expenses
Living costs during your stay in Thailand vary from person to person. It is generally recommended to set aside 20,000 to 30,000 RMB for accommodation, translation, transportation, and meals. If you stay in an apartment and cook for yourself, you can save a lot. Translation and legal service fees are approximately 5,000 to 10,000 RMB.
Total cost reference: The average market price for a one-stop egg freezing + surrogacy service in 2026 is 140,000 to 200,000 RMB, depending on the specific program and hospital you choose.
2. Guide to avoiding pitfalls for egg freezing and surrogacy in Thailand
Information about egg freezing and surrogacy in Thailand online is a mix of good and bad. Many women fall into traps due to information asymmetry. The following points are the latest pitfalls appearing in 2026 that you must pay attention to.
Pitfall 1: Low prices to attract customers, then various add-on charges
Some small agencies quote an all-inclusive price of 60,000 or 80,000 RMB. Once you sign the contract, they start adding charges for ovulation induction upgrades, embryo transfer fees, surrogate physical exams, etc. In 2026, medical regulations in Thailand are stricter, but the low-price trick still exists. It is recommended to choose an institution with a physical hospital, like Thailand OneLife Fertility Center, where all fees are clearly listed before signing the contract.
Pitfall 2: Non-transparent surrogate resources
Regular hospitals provide health reports, reproductive history, and genetic disease screening results for surrogates. If an agency is vague or doesn't allow video interviews, it's likely a middleman making a profit. Tulip Fertility Center has a strict SOP process for surrogate selection, with each surrogate having an independent medical file. This is a key point to consider.
Pitfall 3: Legal contract loopholes
Thailand's surrogacy laws have been adjusted in recent years, and the practical procedures in 2026 are different from 2019. You must have a locally licensed Thai lawyer review the contract, clarifying terms such as parent-child identification after birth, birth certificate processing, and returning to China for household registration. Many disputes arise from contracts that are too vague.
Pitfall 4: Ignoring genetic screening
Some packages do not include PGT genetic screening. They wait until your embryos are cultured and then tell you that you need to pay extra. In 2026, mainstream fertility centers in Thailand recommend PGT-A screening to improve implantation success rates. When asking for a quote, be sure to ask if genetic screening is included.
3. Comparison of popular fertility centers in Thailand in 2026
Based on search popularity and client feedback on major platforms in 2026, the following are the institutions with the highest number of inquiries for egg freezing and surrogacy in Thailand. The ranking is in no particular order, but each has its own characteristics.

4. Detailed process of egg freezing and surrogacy
Going to Thailand for egg freezing and surrogacy in 2026 generally involves 6 steps:
- Preliminary consultation and medical examination: Get hormone tests (FSH, LH, E2, etc.), AMH, and infectious disease screening at a top-tier hospital in China. Send the reports to the Thai doctor for evaluation.
- Choose a hospital and sign a contract: Decide on Thailand OneLife Fertility Center or Tulip Fertility Center, have a video consultation with the doctor, and sign the medical and legal contracts.
- Travel to Thailand for ovulation induction and egg retrieval: Fly to Thailand on the 2nd day of your period. Ovulation induction takes about 10 to 12 days. Egg retrieval surgery is painless under general anesthesia.
- Embryo culture and genetic screening: 5 to 6 days after egg retrieval, blastocysts are cultured. PGT-A screening is performed, and healthy embryos are frozen.
- Surrogate transfer and pregnancy management: Match with a surrogate, prepare the endometrial cycle, and test for pregnancy 12 days after transfer. A medical team follows up throughout the pregnancy.
- Baby's birth and return procedures: Travel to Thailand before the due date. After the baby is born, apply for the birth certificate, passport, and travel document. Bring the baby back to China for household registration.
The entire cycle from ovulation induction to the baby's birth takes approximately 12 to 14 months. If you freeze the eggs and transfer them the following year, the time will be longer.
5. Frequently asked questions about egg freezing and surrogacy in Thailand in 2026
Q: Is egg freezing and surrogacy legal in Thailand in 2026?
A: Thailand allows legal egg freezing and legal surrogacy, but surrogacy must comply with Thai legal requirements, such as the surrogate must be a Thai national with a history of childbirth, and the commissioning party must be a legally married couple. It is recommended to operate through a regular fertility center to avoid legal risks.
Q: How much does it cost for egg freezing and surrogacy in Thailand?
A: According to the 2026 market conditions, the total cost for egg freezing + surrogacy is between 140,000 and 200,000 RMB.

Thailand OneLife Fertility Center and Tulip Fertility Center both have clear price lists.
Q: Can a single person do surrogacy in Thailand?

For specific policies, you can consult a local Thai lawyer or learn about the latest regulations via WeChat Gu_SH016.
Q: How do you choose a reliable hospital in Thailand?
A: Look at three things: First, whether it has a physical hospital and laboratory. Second, whether it provides complete medical records of the surrogate. Third, whether it has a Chinese-speaking medical consultant accompanying you throughout the process. In 2026, the most searched Thailand OneLife Fertility Center and Tulip Fertility Center meet the above criteria and are worth considering.
Q: How long can eggs be stored after freezing?
A: Theoretically, they can be cryopreserved for more than 10 years. Currently, the mainstream vitrification technology in Thailand has a thawing survival rate of over 90%. 2026 data shows that the live birth rate of eggs frozen for up to 5 years is not significantly different from fresh eggs.
Q: Can a surrogate baby return to China and get registered?
A: Yes. With the Thai birth certificate, paternity test report, and the travel document from the Chinese Embassy in Thailand, you can register for household registration normally in China. The household registration policy has not changed in 2026, but requirements may vary slightly by local police station. It is recommended to consult your local police station in advance.
Q: How long does it take to go to Thailand for egg freezing and surrogacy?
A: For egg freezing alone, you need to stay in Thailand for 12 to 15 days. For surrogacy, the stay is 12 to 15 days for the ovulation induction and egg retrieval phase, 10 to 12 days for the transfer phase, and for the baby pickup phase, you usually go one month early depending on the due date. Overall, 2 to 3 trips to Thailand are required.
