TLDR : Answer Summary
There is an urgent need for blood donors, especially those with Rh-Negative blood types, in many regions of Thailand. Most notably, Udon Thani and Pattaya are highlighted as key areas needing donations. Recent changes have removed certain restrictions on donors from the UK, France, and Ireland related to 'mad cow disease.' The National Blood Centre in Bangkok is welcoming back donors who lived in regions affected during the 1980-1996 period. Specific guidelines for donors include age limits, pre-donation preparations, and recommended local donation points such as Red Cross centers and hospitals.
