Choosing a fertility clinic for preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) involves more than comparing treatment prices or looking for the highest success rate.
For international patients, the decision also involves laboratory standards, PGT expertise, doctor experience, genetic testing pathways, communication, treatment timing and follow-up care.
Bangkok has fertility clinics and hospitals offering IVF, ICSI treatment and different forms of PGT. However, not every clinic provides the same testing options or follows the same treatment pathway. PGT can include PGT-A, PGT-M and PGT-SR, depending on the medical reason for testing.
The right clinic is therefore not necessarily the one with the lowest package price or the highest advertised success rate. Before choosing a provider, use this guide on how to choose an IVF clinic in Bangkok to evaluate specialist experience, laboratory standards, success-rate definitions, package inclusions, and international-patient support.
What Should You Compare When Choosing a PGT Clinic in Bangkok?
Start with these eight areas:
- Clinical experience and PGT expertise
- Laboratory standards and accreditation
- Types of PGT available
- Embryo biopsy and genetic testing pathway
- Success-rate reporting
- Treatment costs and package inclusions
- International patient support
- Communication, timing and follow-up
Using the same questions with every clinic makes the comparison more meaningful.
1. Does the Clinic Have Experience With PGT?
PGT is not a standalone procedure. It is part of an IVF pathway that may include ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo culture, embryo biopsy, genetic analysis, embryo freezing and a later frozen embryo transfer.
Ask the clinic:
- How many IVF and PGT cycles does the team perform?
- Which types of PGT are routinely handled?
- Who will manage your treatment?
- Who performs the embryo biopsy?
- Who reviews the genetic results with you?
- Does the clinic have reproductive specialists and experienced embryologists?
The doctor you meet during the consultation may not personally perform every laboratory procedure. Ask who will actually manage each stage of your treatment.
For international patients, this is particularly important because treatment may involve several appointments over a limited period in Bangkok. Patients who are unsure which treatment or testing is appropriate can begin with fertility counseling and treatment planning. A consultation can help review age, ovarian reserve, treatment history, and personal fertility goals.
2. How Strong Is the Embryology Laboratory?
The laboratory should be one of the most important factors in your comparison.
PGT depends on the embryo laboratory, because embryos must be cultured to the appropriate stage, biopsied and handled correctly before genetic analysis.
Ask about:
- Laboratory accreditation
- Embryologist qualifications
- Embryo culture systems
- Witness or identification systems
- Embryo biopsy procedures
- Cryopreservation procedures
- Quality-control systems
Some international and laboratory accreditation standards you may encounter include JCI, ISO 9001, RTAC, CAP and UK NEQAS. However, an accreditation name alone does not tell you everything about a clinic’s PGT pathway. Patients should verify the clinic’s current certification and what it actually covers.
3. Which Type of PGT Do You Need?
PGT is not one single test.
The type of testing depends on the medical question.
| Type of PGT | What It Tests |
|---|---|
| PGT-A | Chromosome-number abnormalities |
| PGT-M | Specific single-gene or monogenic disorders |
| PGT-SR | Certain structural chromosome rearrangements |
For example, PGT-M may be considered when a couple has a known inherited genetic condition. PGT-SR may be relevant when one reproductive partner has a structural chromosome rearrangement.
PGT-A is different because it evaluates chromosome copy number. Learn more about PGT-A genetic testing by NGS, including what the test evaluates, when it may be considered, and how results affect embryo-transfer planning.
4. Where Is the PGT Testing Performed?
This is an important question that international patients sometimes overlook.
Ask whether:
- Embryo biopsy is performed at the fertility clinic
- Genetic analysis is performed in-house
- Samples are sent to an external genetics laboratory
- The laboratory is located in Thailand or overseas
- The clinic manages sample transportation
- The clinic coordinates communication with the genetics laboratory
An external laboratory is not automatically a disadvantage. What matters is whether the clinic can explain who performs each part of the process and how samples are identified, transported and tracked. For additional information about the transfer procedure itself, see the guide to embryo transfer in IVF and ICSI.
5. How Does the Clinic Report PGT Success Rates?
Be careful when comparing fertility clinic success rates.
A clinic may advertise a high pregnancy or embryo-transfer rate, but that number may not represent the same outcome reported by another clinic.
When comparing clinics, ask:
- Is the figure a pregnancy rate or live-birth rate?
- Is it calculated per embryo transfer or per treatment cycle?
- Is it specific to PGT-tested embryos?
- Is the data separated by patient age?
- What year does the data represent?
- Does it include all patients or selected cases?
For example, a clinic may report an embryo-transfer success rate, while another reports live birth per started cycle. These figures should not be compared as if they measure the same outcome.
Patient age, diagnosis, embryo quality, number of embryos available and treatment selection can also affect outcomes. For context on how GFC presents and explains its reported outcomes, read the clinic’s guide to IVF success rates in Thailand. Success figures should be compared only when the patient group, embryo type, outcome definition, and denominator are similar.
6. What Is Included in the PGT Package?
Do not compare prices until you know what each package includes.
A PGT package may involve several separate costs:
- Initial consultation
- Fertility assessment
- Ovarian stimulation medication
- Monitoring
- Egg retrieval
- IVF or ICSI
- Embryo culture
- Embryo biopsy
- Genetic testing
- Embryo freezing
- Embryo storage
- Frozen embryo transfer
- Additional consultations
- Genetic counseling, when required
Some clinics publish package prices, but the exact inclusions can differ significantly. Review GFC’s current ICSI packages and pricing for package tiers, eligibility criteria, medication limits, and additional services.
7. Can the Clinic Support International Patients?
International patients have additional practical considerations.
You may need to arrange:
- Online consultation before travelling
- Medical-record review
- Blood tests before arrival
- Ultrasound monitoring
- Medication instructions
- Appointment scheduling
- Airport and hotel arrangements
- Embryo transfer timing
- Medical records after returning home
Ask whether the clinic provides:
- English-speaking coordinators
- Translation support
- Remote consultations
- Written treatment instructions
- Assistance coordinating medical records
- Digital communication during treatment
- Post-treatment follow-up
Clear communication is not simply a convenience. International patients can review the guide to IVF in Thailand for foreigners before arranging travel, testing, and follow-up.
8. How Long Will You Need to Stay in Bangkok?
Your treatment timeline depends on the protocol, ovarian response, embryo development, PGT pathway and whether you are planning a fresh or frozen embryo transfer.
PGT generally requires embryos to be cultured to the appropriate stage, biopsied and frozen while the genetic analysis is completed. A later transfer may then be scheduled depending on the treatment plan.
Ask the clinic:
- Can some tests be completed before travelling?
- How many monitoring visits are expected?
- When would egg retrieval take place?
- When would embryo biopsy take place?
- When should PGT results be available?
- Will the embryos remain frozen after testing?
- Can the frozen embryo transfer be performed during a later visit?
- Can follow-up monitoring be done in your home country?
Do not book flights based only on a standard treatment timeline.
Your actual dates should come from the clinic after reviewing your medical history and treatment plan.
What Should International Patients Ask About PGT Results?
Receiving a PGT result is not simply a matter of receiving a “normal” or “abnormal” label.
Ask the clinic:
- What results can the laboratory report?
- What does each result mean?
- How are mosaic results handled?
- What happens if there is no result?
- Who explains the results?
Is genetic counseling available? - How does the result affect embryo-transfer decisions?
PGT-A, for example, evaluates chromosome number but does not test for every possible genetic condition. A favorable PGT-A result also does not guarantee implantation, pregnancy or live birth. For a detailed explanation of what PGT-A can and cannot detect, read the complete PGT-A embryo-screening guide.
Patients should therefore understand the limitations of the test before deciding how to use the results.
How Important Is the Clinic’s Technology?
Advanced laboratory technology can be useful, but technology alone should not determine your choice of clinic.
You may encounter clinics offering technologies such as:
- Time-lapse embryo monitoring
- Advanced embryo incubators
- AI-assisted embryo assessment
- Electronic embryo identification systems
- Advanced sperm-selection techniques
- Next-generation sequencing (NGS) for certain PGT workflows
Genesis Fertility Center, for example, describes the use of advanced genetic sequencing technology within its PGT-A service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is PGT available at fertility clinics in Bangkok?
Yes. Fertility centers and hospitals in Bangkok offer different forms of PGT, including PGT-A, while some centers provide additional PGT pathways. The exact services available should be confirmed directly with the clinic.
Which type of PGT should I choose?
That depends on the medical reason for testing. PGT-A evaluates chromosome number, PGT-M is used for specific single-gene conditions, and PGT-SR addresses certain structural chromosome rearrangements. A fertility specialist should determine which test is appropriate.
How much does PGT cost in Bangkok?
There is no single price because the total cost depends on the IVF treatment, number of embryos tested, testing method, medication, biopsy, freezing and transfer. Some international-care sources estimate Thailand PGT treatment at around US$5,000–$8,000, but these are estimates rather than a universal clinic price.
Always request a case-specific written quotation.
How long do international patients need to stay in Bangkok for PGT?
The required stay varies according to the IVF protocol, monitoring schedule, embryo development, PGT laboratory timeline and whether the embryo transfer occurs during the same trip or a later cycle.
The clinic should provide an individualized treatment timeline before you book travel.
Is the cheapest PGT clinic the best option?
Not necessarily. A lower package price may exclude medication, genetic testing, embryo biopsy, freezing, storage or embryo transfer.
Compare the total treatment pathway, not just the advertised starting price.
Does PGT guarantee a healthy baby?
No. PGT can provide important genetic or chromosomal information, depending on the test, but it does not test for every genetic or developmental condition and does not guarantee pregnancy or a healthy baby.
