TLDR : Answer Summary
There is a call for A- (Rh-Negative) blood donors in Bangkok, as this blood type is rare in the Thai population. Western expats, who have higher Rh-Negative rates, are encouraged to donate, particularly at the National Blood Centre on Henri Dunant Road. It is recommended that donors abstain from alcohol for 24 hours prior to donating and that first-time donors be under 60. However, there are mentions of difficulties regarding eligibility for UK citizens due to regulations, as indicated by user comments.
