The Planned Parenthood Association of Thailand
The Planned Parenthood Association of Thailand under the Patronage of Her Royal Highness the Princess Mother (PPAT) is the first non-profit organization and a pioneer in family planning in Thailand. We were officially registered in 1970 and it was our great honour to receive the kind consideration of Her Royal Highness the late Princess Mother in receiving PPAT under her patronage. PPAT is the only agency in Thailand that is a member of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF).
We are a private, non-profit and non-political organization.
We do not work for particular benefit of anyone, individual, or group, but aim to educate and serve the entire community for a better quality of life, to promote the right to reproductive health information and services. Also, to empower individuals, families and communities by encouraging their participation in campaigning for, responding to, and preventing population problems for a better and stronger society.
