A friend who is a volunteer US Embassy Warden received a request from the US Embassy in Bangkok to let folks know that there is an American expat in a Pattaya hospital who is in dire need of "A" Negative blood, and it seems that there is almost none available in Thailand.

Normally, blood donors in Pattaya must go to Bangkok or Chonburi to donate, but the Embassy has advised that the Chonburi Blood Bank will be in Pattaya this Wednesday, Dec 5., at the Big C Extra on Pattaya Klang(Central Road) on the second floor from 11 am to 2 pm.

No appointments are necessary. All blood types will be accepted, but the Embassy especially encourages donors with "A" Negative or "O" Negative blood to help a fellow expat. For more information, call 038-278-905 and speak to either Khun Aoy or Khun Ploy.
