Giving Birth in Chiang Mai

[babyexplore]

My husband and I are Americans living in China wanting to come to Thailand to have our first baby. I want to have a natural birth with no interventions we'd prefer a water birth. I would like my doula to be there as well as my husband in the room with me for delivery. Good speaking doctors and nurses. We really want to have the baby in Chiang Mai. I heard about a medical visa for 60-90 days. Does Sriphat offer visa services for their expat patients? How has your experience been with this hospital? Also, is Lori Rowe still in Chiang Mai? What are the average costs?

The Docs and nurses are good speaking in Chiang Mai. The doulas tend to be blind or mute. Let the buyer beware.

i would suggest the Ping River as being the most auspicious place for a water birth. 

The whole family might wish to join the Chernobyl Garden Club for fresh veggies.
