American in a Pattaya Hospital in need of "A" negative blood
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.

Just out of interest do the Thai authorities accept blood donations from gay people - or men who have sex with men to be more precise I guess ? I just ask as the UK (rightly or wrongly) certainly dont unless you've abstained from sex for about a year I believe ?

I found this old link to say men who have sex with men are not invited to donate blood in Thailand but things may have changed

And this recent link says there is a shortage of donated blood so it is worth advertising that there is a need
