PHUKET: The Phuket Regional Blood Centre (PRBC) is calling for blood donations from April 9-16 to boost blood stocks for victims of accidents that could occur during this year's Songkran celebrations.

 

The PRBC is inviting both Thais and foreigners to donate blood during April 9-16 at the PRBC in a blood-donation campaign that will see donors receive a complimentary limited edition T-shirt.

 

PRBC Chief Pornthip Ratchak, said, “I would like to invite all Thais and foreigners in Phuket to donate their blood, especially as there will be a lot of tourists coming to the island over the festival period and it is likely that a lot more accidents will occur due to the increased number of people on the island. We will be delighted if foreigners in Phuket join us for this blood-donation campaign.

Not required as I understand it since the aggressive road safety campaign by the BiB and Military over Songkhran coupled with the driving public studiously obeying traffic regulations will prevent any road traffic accidents.

Driving during songkran is self harm.
