Surrogacy Australia has said Thailand's crackdown on commercial surrogacy will hit up to 200 couples.
TWO Australian couples have reportedly been stopped from leaving Thailand with their surrogate babies amid a crackdown on surrogacy laws in the country.
The ABC reported that the two homosexual couples were prevented from leaving Bangkok's international airport on Thursday afternoon after Thai police ordered that no surrogate babies be allowed out of the country without a court order.
Two American couples were also stopped, the broadcaster reported.
The news comes as the South East Asia country looks to overhaul its commercial surrogacy laws following the case of a West Australian couple accused of abandoning a baby with Down syndrome.

Thai surrogate woman, 21-year-old Pattaramon Chanbua, accused the couple of abandoning the boy, known as Gammy, and taking his healthy twin sister back to Australia.
Surrogacy Australia says it knows of up to 200 would-be Australian parents who could be affected by Thailand's planned crackdown, but that the number may be higher.
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop last week requested that Thai authorities allow for a "transition period" to allow for Australian couples who had already paid for surrogates to receive their children.
