OVERVIEW
Contraception
Laws & Social Stigmas
In Thailand, you can buy birth control without a prescription. It is estimated that 72-78% of women (of fertility age) are on some form of modern birth control. According to one study in 1998, 23% were on the pill, 17% had an injectable/implant and 22% had been sterilized. In the last 25 years, the government has heavily campaigned for sex workers to use condoms under the 100% Condom Program. But it has not so heavily focused on condom use in the general population. This has lead to many people outside of the sex worker community not using condoms.

Costs
A one month supply of birth control typically costs between 60 and 300 baht, which is about $2 - $10 (as of 2016).
