What are the current blood donation requirements and available locations in Thailand for Rh-Negative donors?
🩸🩸🩸 Blood Donors Needed at many locations in Thailand.
If you do not know your blood type, please donate. Most people do not know their blood type.
Rh-Negative is EXTREMELY Rare in the Thai population. Relatively common in the Western population. It's up to us to help ourselves.
Massive number of Emergencies.
In Udon Thani a German Man was hit by a car and lost his leg. The Udon Thani Government Hospital blood bank has removed the Age Restrictions and the vCJD Restrictions "mad cow disease".
The National Blood Centre in Bangkok on Henri Dunant Rd has Welcomed Back Donors who lived in the UK 🇬🇧 France 🇫🇷 and Ireland 🇮🇪 during the mad cow disease time-frame from 1980 to 1996.
Donate at your nearest Red Cross. They can transfer blood.
- Under 60 if first-time donor in Thailand, 70 if previously donated
- No alcohol 24 hours prior
- Healthy low-fat meal at least 3 hours prior
- 48 hour wait on Aspirin. Aspirin is a blood thinner.
We need to donate here as we would in our home countries with special attention to Rh-Negative. If you are Rh-Negative, please donate every 90 days.
If you do not know your blood type, please donate. Most people do not know their blood type.

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.

Chiang Mai has the First-Time Age limit of 60. UK, France and Ireland donors are not accepted** there is a special blood drive on 26 October where UK donors are accepted. Special processing for blood. "Mad Cow Disease"
If age or region does not apply,
You may donate at the Regional Blood Centre.

Hi PeterThere is a blood drive this Friday at Bangkok Hospital Pattaya. More details here:

OP@Pétur **********
I was told that it is urgent. It is reasonable to assume that there is Zero available blood for him. The Thai population simply doesn't have Rh-NegativeThailand *********************************
OP@Pétur **********
We have a new patient. He is at Banglamung Hospital in Pattaya.Thailand *********************************
OP@Pétur **********
Banglamun Hospital blood bank or the Chonburi Red Cross mobile blood van comes to Pattaya. I recommend donating at a Red Cross as they transfer throughout the country. Let me find the Chonburi Red Cross mobile van scheduleDavid ***********
I'm over 60 but I'm willing to donate A- I'm in Kantharalak Sisaket
Thailand *********************************
OP@David **********
Thank you David. The age restriction is to protect the donor's health. As we age our ability to replenish red blood cells reduces.Thailand has set 60 as first-time donor, 70 if previously donated in Thailand. They want the data on the previous donations. They don't want someone donating at 70 for the first-time, as an example.
I'm an Expat Volunteer.
