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 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
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.
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)
