Thailand’s Medical Council set surgery ages.

The official ข้อบังคับแพทยสภา พ.ศ. 2565 (Medical Council ethics regulation on treatment to change sex, published in the Royal Gazette 23 November 2022) says a person receiving sex-reassignment surgery under that regulation must be 20, or 18 but not yet 20 with the consent of the person with parental authority.
