I'm sorry, my app isnt notifying me of replies, abd I've her really hectic driving to and from hospital each day with meals, other jobs, etc. 

I've found that Thai Red Cross keep the list of donors, it's countrywide. That's where donors must apply. 

Thank you for the response. ????????

I’m also A- but at 61 unsure if I qualify for donation ?.

 

Maybe the op is in Phuket ?

 

 

Thank you. Thai Red Cross keep the list of donors, for such a rare blood type it would be wonderful if you could get on it, it's health dependent, not age as far as I know. 

Thank you for the response. ????????

Where are you, I'm pretty sure I'm A- ?

Thai Red Cross arrange with donors it's a country-wide network. You would need to contact them as they keep the list of donors. 

Thank you for the response. ????????

My wife urgently need a blood transfusion as her platelets are at danger level (low) also red cells in general. Bone marrow has been depleted due to heavy radiotherapy. A small brain bleed or other haemorrhage could quickly turn into a deadly one, and she's at risk until she can start to produce platelets at a healthier rate again. 

It seems she has a rare blood type A negative. Even Thai Red Cross say there is none at all in the country, and a top hospital  (Bumrungrad) say the same. 

How should I go about making an appeal for donors? I hate being the centre of attention, but maybe would the media (newspapers, radio, etc.) help? We are not Thai speakers and are struggling to know what to do. 

Thanks for any kind advice. 

Completely ridiculous story. She's obviously too embarrassed to tell you how she really got scammed.

In Thailand, sometimes it's not even easy to identify the sex of people who are alive.

You need to stay home more

You used the word 'Same" that means no difference but ok whatever.

did you pick up the nice doggies already?

 

Not really. The morality is the same, the difference in scale I refer to is the penalty exacted by society for different immoral acts. Stealing a million as against stealing a fiver. Chopping off a person's head as against deliberately stepping on a bug . Do you see now?

It's not birds, it's burds and a valid description of young females. Try and keep up.

More sadness. A lot of men are a waste of air. 

It's kinda sad to see the kind of bloke who refers to women as 'birds' coming to Thailand too. I hope they go home soon.... .

Of course you do. 

 

Dog lovers care only for themselves.  

 

Your a neighborhood pest.  Too many dogs barking all night and biting the passing children. 

 

I know you're type. 

 

Hope you get deported sooner than later. 

 

Oaf.

Aggressive like a rabid dog. Nice. I knew from the start your position was just hating/being scared of dogs in totality. Stick to your hamster, child. Geese can be pretty nasty too, be careful out there. ????????????

If you can not see the difference between people killing each other and dogs killing people then i feel sorry for you.

We are not in Kansas ,we are in Thailand.

How am i brainwashed?

Where would you send a dog in Thailand for rehabilitation?

Why don't you take in these 3 sweet little dogs?

The owner is willing to give them away and you would do such a good thing.

Oh,yes, do not forget to make your will if you do.

 

I didn't say there wasn't a difference in scale, but the morality of killing a living entity is the same, particularly when one is supposed to have control over its decisions and the other obviously isn't. If you can't understand that then it's me who feels sorry for you.

Two year old pitbulls,3 of them like a loaded gun waiting to be used.

Terrible but there will be more stories like this every week or so.

Also a story about an 8 week old puppy that "attacked' some one.

Clueless people and the mai pen rai attitude.

No reason to look for the why any further.

They have never killed anyone before,what a comment!

The laws need to be changed and in a hurry!

Dog bites? bullet in the head.

Yes i can also not understand why the village people did not shoot them,

the fact is there are many guns around.

You can not talk reason with brain washed people,sad.

 

 

And bullet in the head for drunks who batter people for no reason? They can't control themselves. Same, right? Your comment lacks all good sense. Shame that others have approved it really. How about instead fining AND jailing the owner and sending the dogs for rehabilitation. But I can see you're brainwashed. And you're happy for illegal guns to be around if they can be used for your vigilantism. Yes, sad.

Insane. 

 

Thailand didn't have this love for dogs 20 years ago. 

 

Definitely misplaced.

No. I think you are 

These dogs are no different to other dogs originally bred for fighting instinct. 

If you want a perfect family pet get a terrier (Pitbull, Staffie, any terrier really) but get one direct from a small breeder who can show you their pedigree and whom you are comfortable breeds for temperament. I speak from my own experience and that of a couple of friends, as well as my son. All good, honestly. 

Who cares about that? What drives me freaking crazy is the way they stick the Thai sticker carefully and precisely on each packet over stuff like the cooking instructions. How stupid do you have to be to do that? 

Why not just mind your business?

If you are offended by babies crying, dogs barking or a rooster cucking. You haven't lived  enough on this planet yet.

If I was as old as the vampire Lestat I'd still want to suck them all dry if they disturb my sleep. That's why I don't live in a Thai village.

Not sure your suggestion that such actions are a local custom doesn't do that.

Honesty should not be called out as being divisive, although yes I was being ironic. I know many more Thai women who have been beaten or otherwise assaulted by men than Western women back home. And that's just in 6 years living here. I feel sometimes that it seems almost accepted. 

Come on, he was only following local custom. What on earth difference does it make to label him foreigner in the headline other than to further ingrain divisions?

What percentage of citizens of most nations are expats? That's a pretty low percentage. And what percentage of those expats earn their pay in the currency of their homeland as opposed to where they work? Most expats are actually migrant workers or undocumented aliens, and they earn their pay in the country they labor in.

I don't know why, but you're ignoring the fact that my comment was about foreign exchange. I'm not going chew over expats statistics. Crypto is a currency, as I said I won't go down a rabbit hole with you. Thanks.
