Finding Hope After 14 Years: Komal’s Journey to IVF Success in Thailand
For couples facing complex fertility challenges, pursuing IVF abroad can feel like both a leap of faith and a renewed beacon of hope. When standard treatment protocols do not yield the desired results, intending parents worldwide increasingly turn towards high-quality Medical Tourism and Fertility Tourism destinations that offer advanced reproductive technologies and personalized care.
Thailand has established itself as a leading global hub for assisted reproductive technology (ART). Among the many international families who have found success here is Komal Appleby—an Indian patient residing in New Zealand—whose 14-year path to parenthood finally reached its joyful outcome at SAFE Fertility Clinic.

The Long Road: Navigating 14 Years of Fertility Setbacks
Every fertility journey is unique, but for Komal, the road was an extraordinarily long emotional and physical marathon:- 14 years on her journey to building a family.
- 4 previous IVF cycles in New Zealand.
- 9 heartbreaking pregnancy losses prior to seeking care abroad.
Recognizing that her case required specialized attention and a fresh clinical perspective, Komal began researching international fertility centers, which led her to SAFE Fertility Clinic in Bangkok, Thailand. 6 months of research —starting with 10 clinics in Thailand before choosing 4 to visit in person. SAFE stood out!
Overcoming Doubts: Choosing Fertility Tourism in Thailand
Making the decision to undergo IVF abroad often comes with understandable hesitation, especially when navigating advice from friends and family back home:
"When I first talked about it with other people in my country... other people were more concerned than I was. 'How do you know the clinic is a good clinic? How do you know you're not going to a little tin shed clinic?'" — Komal
Despite initial concerns raised by others, her arrival in Thailand immediately put those worries to rest. Thailand’s welcoming environment, paired with SAFE Fertility Clinic’s modern, internationally accredited facilities, provided the reassurance she needed from the very first visit.
Why SAFE Fertility Clinic Made the Difference for IVF in Thailand
After years of setbacks, what stood out to Komal wasn’t just the advanced technology, but how SAFE Fertility Clinic approached her care as a unique, deeply personal journey. Here are the key factors that made all the difference:
1. In-Depth Clinical Evaluation and Dedicated Leadership
Komal’s treatment began with a comprehensive consultation with Wiwat Quangkananurug, M.D., The Founder and CEO of the SAFE Fertility Group PCL, The Medical License Number: 14960.
"His knowledge just truly amazed me. The way he talked to me, the way he coached me to understand the different points around IVF was really remarkable. He was very bold in the way that he looked at my case and the way that he worked with me." — Komal With decades of clinical experience, SAFE’s medical team specializes in assessing complex, recurrent-loss cases to design tailored treatment strategies —It’s not a “One size fit all” approach. Treatment is tailored to patients' individual cases.

2. World-Class Embryology Laboratories & Transparency
A fundamental element of successful IVF in Thailand lies in laboratory standards and embryology expertise. At SAFE Fertility Clinic, all critical laboratory procedures take place within our dedicated In-house Laboratory, ensuring strict quality control, optimal environmental stability, and direct collaboration between embryologists and fertility specialists:
- Advanced In-house Lab Infrastructure: Utilizing cutting-edge incubation and culturing technology.
- Embryology Transparency: Open communication regarding laboratory procedures and embryo development stages.
- Specialized Care: Close collaboration between clinicians and embryologists to optimize outcomes.
- Direct Scientific Collaboration: In-house embryologists work side-by-side with clinicians to closely monitor every stage of embryo development.
"I wanted to know just about every single thing... and SAFE were very kind and helpful in helping me understand how the lab worked, how the embryologist worked, and how the specialist worked." — Komal
3. Dedicated Personal Assistant (Multilingual)
Undergoing fertility treatment in another country can be an emotionally exhausting and vulnerable experience. What transformed Komal’s journey was never having to navigate the unknown alone.
To provide continuous, seamless care, SAFE Fertility Clinic assigns a dedicated Personal Assistant (multilingual) to walk alongside each international patient throughout their entire stay. Having a single point of contact to explain upcoming steps, manage schedules, coordinate with your hometown doctor, and provide continuous reassurance significantly reduces the emotional stress of the journey.
