How does maternity care work in private hospitals?

Asked 223 hours ago • Updated 204 hours ago
What should I expect for prenatal care and delivery?

TL;DR:Antenatal care in Thailand follows regular visits and standard scans/tests; choose public (cheaper) or private (English, packages). Expect private delivery packages ~40k–300k THB depending on type and hospital; get insurance and bring ID/insurance documents.

Expect standard antenatal care (regular check-ups, blood tests, ultrasound scans, gestational diabetes testing) and a choice between public hospitals (lower cost, Thai-language services, thorough care) and private hospitals/clinics (English-speaking staff, packaged antenatal+delivery care, private rooms). Typical pathway: 1) routine visits about every 4–6 weeks early, more frequent in third trimester; key tests at ~12 and ~20 weeks (anomaly scan), bloodwork early, glucose test at 24–28 weeks. 2) Delivery options: vaginal birth, assisted birth, or planned/emergency C-section; private hospitals offer packaged care and shorter stays. 3) Costs: public-hospital vaginal delivery can be low-cost (subsidised for Thai nationals; modest fees for foreigners), private hospital packages commonly range from ~40,000–150,000 THB for normal delivery and ~80,000–300,000 THB+ for C-section depending on hospital and room level (see Bangkok Hospital, Petcharavej packages; public-cost overview: KTC summary). Arrange maternity or travel health insurance that covers neonatal care and bring passport/visa/insurance documents when admitted. For official guidance see Ministry of Public Health and hospital package pages.
