Bangkok:- Thailand is no longer a paradise for foreigners who want to rent a womb thanks to a new law that was passed by the National Legislative Assembly (NLA) last Thursday.

“We don’t allow a foreign couple to get surrogacy services here anymore. Otherwise, Thai women’s wombs will become the wombs of the world,” NLA member Wallop Tangkhananurak says. He believes many problems will arise if Thailand serves as the world’s surrogacy hub.

The NLA had pushed hard for the Act to Protect Babies Born Through Assisted Reproductive Technologies in the wake of several scandals related to Thailand’s surrogacy services last year.

It broke out last July that an Australian couple left one of their twin babies, who was born through a Thai surrogate mother, behind because the surrogate son Gammy had Down Syndrome.

Soon later, authorities also found out that a Japanese man suspiciously hired more than 10 Thai women as surrogate mothers. His motive has raised concerns that surrogacy can be vulnerable human trafficking and various other unethical practice such as the use of the surrogate babies for stem-cell treatments.

This is in addition to the fact many fertility clinics were found to have violated the Medical Council’s rules that ban commercial surrogacy.

The recently-passed law on surrogacy has now allowed only a Thai couple or a Thai-foreign couple to get surrogacy services if the couple has had a fertility problem. In events of a Thai-foreign couple, the two must be married for at least three years before they start getting surrogacy services too.

Surrogate mothers, according to this law, must be at least 25 years and have given birth to baby/babies before.

Thailand: Hub of wombs.

for a minute there when I read the headline I though it was a crack down on prostitution in the making

Or so I have been informed.

No obviously Thailand still sees no problem with remaining the hub of supply for other parts of the female anatomy.

A good move.

I am wenting a wery nice woom for 4k thb per month............

What? They've banned marriage?

It will stop the practice, merely drive it underground and make another feeding trough for organised crime.

That's right, they've banned woom wentals, but the passageways leading to said wooms are still available for short term parties and entertainment.

Thainess at its best.

Shhhhhh. Be wery, wery quiet, we're wenting wooms.

So lame, no need for the govt to get involved. Women should be free to do what they want with their bodies.

no u dingbat it's go ur loom u loon ?

Well !

You have all had your fun.

Now think about the ethics and morality associated with wealthy Westerners "renting" poor, ill educated 3rd world women for the purpose of "surrogacy".

Those people who wish to secure a "surrogate" should do so within their own counties.

I thought they misspelled room !!!!

And I was worried the price of rent was going up

Well !

ethics and morality work both ways, so why no remarks about the so called poor ill educated 3rd world women, which BTW Thailand is not, and the cash they take for providing the "service" ?

Surrogate mothers, according to this law, must be at least 25 years and have given birth to baby/babies before.

So if a married woman is over 25 and never has had any children, she's out? <deleted> with this line???

Well !

Absolutely correct.

If people can't conceive themselves, plenty of needy babies to adopt. Enough people in the world already.

An adopted baby will never feel the same as your own child, not to everyone anyways.

Plenty of needy babies is a different subject to discuss, maybe those who can, just need to stop making unwanted babies???

Not in out lifetime... or the next... or the next... or the next !!!

We dont allow a foreign couple to get surrogacy services here anymore. Otherwise, Thai womens wombs will become the wombs of the world, NLA member Wallop Tangkhananurak says.

Thailand: Hub of wombs.

The best Farang is a Farang that has never been born.

Thailand no longer paradise for hell.

A good move.

maybe for you but for me with no kids aged 51 wife 38 its made it A LOT harder, her niece wa s willing to have it for us but now all the hospitals are running scared............thanks all the other selfish gits who as usual went crazy/greedy in making babies.

About time they banned surrogacy tourism. Australia bans this practice at home but is more than happy to encourage its citizens to come to Thailand and other developing countries to do it and provided full back up at the embassy, including instant citizenship for the progeny. Is the Australian government thinks its a good idea for its citizens, it should allow them to do it at home where it can be properly regulated and free of the disgusting corruption and criminal types operating in Thailand which guarantees the exploitation and ill treatment of the surrogate mothers.

This has been a latter day extension of the racist "White Australia" policy. Australian couples are encouraged to travel abroad, even if they are on the sex offenders registers to exploit poor, brown skinned surrogate mothers in third world countries. No need for this messy type of business to take place in politically correct Australia. Let's export the problem and turn a blind when the Australian sex offenders start abusing their surrogate produced daughters or just leave any sub-standard product behind.

It will stop the practice, merely drive it underground and make another feeding trough for organised crime.

Never a truer word spoken.

Requiring stricter checks by independent child welfare agents at couples own expense, would have fixed these problems.

TV If you carry on publshing such rubish,you will lose it. That is for sure.

Yeah ok, The Thai government cant even control people on a beach what chance have they got to control this.

I think it would be impossible to control any pussy, whether from Thailand or the rest of the world.
