STORK A.R.T. Clinic — Bangkok IVF & PGT Center
About STORK A.R.T. Clinic
STORK A.R.T. Clinic is a dedicated fertility center on the 21st and 22nd floors of Srijulsub Tower on Rama I Road in Bangkok’s Pathum Wan district. The clinic was founded in 2014 by Shen Yang, a Yale-trained public health administrator with 15 years of experience in gynecological care and international ART cooperation (official website, Founder page).
The center operates as the STORK Center for Genetic and Infertility Counseling, built around a European-standard embryology laboratory. It treats routine infertility as well as complex cases — patients who have failed cycles at other clinics and families carrying hereditary disease genes. According to the clinic’s official website, its overall success rate is 68%, with transfer success quoted at 60–70%. This is a clinic-reported figure: STORK does not publish age-specific results, and its 2015–2017 annual outcome charts are shown only as images. Some packages carry a full-refund guarantee if treatment fails, per the clinic’s marketing.
The clinic’s academic lineage runs through its founding medical director, Dr. Chanin Asvadhares, who in 1988 delivered Thailand’s first — and the world’s fourth — ICSI baby (official website, Chinese-language pages) and taught reproductive medicine at Mahidol University for more than 30 years.

Fees & Packages
STORK publishes package names but not medical prices. The Chinese-language site lists tiered programs for fresh cycles (three IVF/PGT packages) and for freezing programs (two egg/embryo preservation packages); current pricing requires contacting the clinic.
- Living-cost comparison published on the clinic’s PGD page: a 5–7 day Thailand stay costs roughly 6,000–8,000 CNY in accommodation and daily expenses (
$850–$1,100 USD), versus 20,000–30,000 CNY ($2,800–$4,200 USD) for a traditional 25–30 day stay — medical fees excluded in both cases. Exchange rate assumption: ~7 CNY per USD, 2026. - Some packages include a full-refund guarantee if treatment fails, under package terms (clinic marketing).
- Contact the clinic through ProIVF or its international desk for a current, itemized quote in USD.
Patient Journey
STORK’s signature process front-loads most steps outside Thailand:
- Home-country consultation — submit medical records through a STORK coordination office (Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Nanjing) or an online inquiry; genetic counseling for hereditary-disease families is free
- Telemedicine video consultation — a Thai specialist reviews the case and designs an individualized medication and stimulation protocol
- Preparation at home — baseline testing and early stimulation steps can be completed at partnered Chinese hospitals through the clinic’s green-channel agreements
- Bangkok cycle visit (3–5 days) — VIP airport pickup, interpreter accompaniment, egg retrieval, IVF/ICSI fertilization, embryo culture and PGT biopsy
- Transfer or freezing — embryo transfer in the same visit, or cryopreservation of embryos while PGT results are finalized
- Home-country follow-up — remote pregnancy monitoring, genetic counseling and early-pregnancy support continue after departure
Local Legal Framework
Thailand governs assisted reproduction through the Protection of Children Born by Medical Assistance in Reproduction Act B.E. 2558 (2015). IVF, ICSI, PGT-A/PGD, and egg, sperm and embryo freezing are all legal with written informed consent. Egg donation by Thai donors is permitted through compliant channels, while egg donation for foreign patients is restricted. Commercial surrogacy is illegal; surrogacy is limited to non-commercial arrangements between relatives with at least one Thai spouse. Fertility clinics and physicians are licensed by the Department of Health Service Support (DHSS) and certified within the RTCOG system. Chinese patients typically travel on short-stay medical tourism visas, which fit STORK’s 3–5 day core protocol.
