TLDR : Answer Summary
The post calls for blood donors across Thailand, highlighting the critical need for Rh-Negative blood, which is very rare within the Thai population and primarily found among expats. Specific locations in Thailand are mentioned for needed blood types, alongside donor eligibility requirements which include age, health status, dietary restrictions before donating, and a special note for donors from the UK, France, and Ireland regarding previous vCJD exposure.
