Healthcare Discounts for Blood Donors, including Child-Birth, at Government Hospitals throughout Thailand and at Thai Red Cross Affiliated Hospitals in Bangkok.

In-patient Discounts only.

These Discounts are on a sliding scale depending upon number of donations. Offered to the International Community.

The Admin of Thailand Citizenship Facebook Group, wrote an article. Attached in Comments.

He makes an excellent point about people who will live here long term, that health insurance increases as we get older, and often covers less. This can fill the Gap or Cover up to 100%

Be a Donor while you are young and able!

Letter and Chris' Article in Comments. Excellent Article, worth reading. Please note that Thailand reduced residency requirements from 180 days to 90 to donate blood.

TLDR : Answer Summary
In Thailand, blood donors can receive healthcare discounts on in-patient services at government hospitals and Thai Red Cross affiliated hospitals, with the percentage of discount depending on the number of donations made. This program encourages long-term residents and the international community to donate blood, providing a potential alternative to rising health insurance costs. Recent changes have made it easier for blood donors, with residency requirements lowered from 180 days to 90 days to qualify for donations. Additionally, the National Blood Centre has lifted previous restrictions regarding donors from the UK, France, and Ireland, welcoming all blood types, especially the rare Rh-Negative. A comprehensive list of donation locations across Thailand is available, ensuring easy access for willing donors.
