I have flown pets in cabin with these airlines:

Lufthansa, Turkish Airlines, Austrian Airlines

There are more Airlines that allow Pet in Cabin. Air France, KLM, Korean air.

Total weight is 8kg including carry-on

Otherwise, you will have to fly cargo.

You will need export documents from the departing country. And import (you can do upon arrival)

Thailand requires Rabies, Leptospirosus, and external/internal deworming (Nextgard)

Each departing (exporting) country has it's own requirements.

Here is the official website for Thailand.

You will need ID. All countries ask for ID.

A passport is fine. You can just show up. Since you are new, please give yourself an hour.

Thank you 🙏 Thank you 🙏

Here are the hours of the National Blood Centre on Henri Dunant Rd. Near Sam Yan metro stop or Silom.

If you are from the UK, France or Ireland and lived there from 1980 to 1996, the National Blood Centre is the only location due to vCJD " mad cow disease". Special processing required for blood.

The other popular Bangkok location is at the Emporium Mall. Please Google this... I am not familiar with this location. I think there is a recent post where someone gave specifics, I will look for it.

Hi Ayush

You can only donate every 90 days. You need to replenish red blood cells.

Please donate every 90 days as we always need Rh-Negative donors.

Thailand RH- Blood Donation

Hi Cj. We now have three B- requirements. A 9 year old child, a father of three and a woman.

Please donate at the nearest red cross. I am familiar with the National Blood Centre in Bangkok. They have an Rh-Negative button to bring you to the front of the line, if there is a line.

I spend a lot of time at the National Blood Centre and usually there is no line or waiting.

Registration Form is pinned on my Page.

No alcohol 24 hours prior

Eat a healthy low fat meal at least 4 hours before donating

Drink plenty of water prior to donating.

Thank you 🙏

Every blood type is needed.

I focused on the Rh-Negative as the Thai population simply doesn't have Rh-Negative (extremely rare) and Westerners do.

The Thai Red Cross will take plasma and platelet donors who have donated whole blood previously. Plasma/platelets take longer and they desire that the donor has the experience of Whole Blood. Less than 15 minutes in the "Chair of Life" , as we call it, for whole blood.

Yes, you can donate at any local Red Cross.

I am not familiar with Saraburi... I Googled it and it appears there is a Red Cross in Saraburi.

I'm an expat... A volunteer to spread Rh-Negative awareness in our communities.

Hi Johnny

Currently only at the National Blood Centre on Henri Dunant Rd in Bangkok. They are accepting the packed red blood cells only. Requires special processing. It's the most in-demand part.

(The UK was sourcing plasma, a component of blood, from outside the UK up until 2021)

Hi Russell. Thank you for responding. And for asking about the Samui Blood Bank. Thank you for your help.

Currently only the National Blood Centre in Bangkok on Henri Dunant Rd is accepting previously deferred donors from the UK.

They are taking the Red Blood Cells only, which requires special processing.

Blood is made up of Red Blood Cells, Plasma, White blood cells and platelets. The UK was sourcing plasma from outside the vCJD (mad cow disease) impacted areas up until 2021.

I don't know if Samui Nathon Government Hospital will be able...

I posted this on our Rh-Negative Facebook Group. (Its fine that you called 👍🙏, we didn't want hundreds of Group members calling)

This is Preeda... you have spoken to me before
