Thailand plans to lift its decade-old ban on foreign surrogacy, potentially allowing same-sex couples post-legalization.

Thailand plans to lift its decade-old ban on foreigners using commercial surrogacy services to boost medical tourism, and may allow same-sex couples to access the services once same-sex marriages are legalized later this year. The Health Ministry is preparing to revise the law that bans surrogacy for foreigners and aims to make it fair for all Thai couples regardless of their sexual preferences. The revision is set to be submitted to parliament as early as July.
