The cost of childbirth in Thailand typically ranges from $3,000 / ฿102,000 to $4,000 / ฿136,000. Prices vary depending on the hospital, whether you choose a natural birth or C-section, the doctor’s experience, and if there are complications. In the United States, the average cost is $18,500 / ฿629,000 (according to AHRQ). Childbirth in Thailand is usually about 81% less than in the U.S.
Thai maternity packages often cover prenatal checkups, delivery (vaginal or C-section), hospital stay (usually 2–4 days), medications, newborn care, and basic postnatal care. In the U.S., separate bills are common for the hospital, doctor, anesthesia, and nursery care. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your chosen clinic or hospital.
