Although we have yet to find anyone who fits the criteria I would like to say thanks to all.

In just about 3 hours 329 people have read their emails and gone to see the post.

I will assume it is in an effort to help.

This group of Thai Visa Forum members is always great with their responsiveness to the needs of the community as a whole and I commended you all.

At least our little corner of the world is functioning today.

Regards,

mtnthai

F'n amazing to all responding, I hope all who are in BKK can help with this. This is how the expat's are supposed to work, not this patpong, banging chicks bulllshwag stereotype... I would love to help, but here in Los Angeles, i'm a bit far from what needs to be done... good luck-

Will send e-mail to my friends in Thailand. Hope can find somebody and help.

Will also want to point out how beneficial can be this Forum for westerners and the public.

I am aware that thopics can not be multiposted however I would suggest that in cases like this, that require urgent and wide coverage, perhaps the ThaiVisa Moderators should be able to post them in varios other areas of the Forum (exceptions to the rule exists everywhere).

[dunkinto_farang]

Wish I could Help, but I am Type O positive.

Good Luck!!

[FarangYaayYaaw]

All I know about my blood type is that I am B+, is that what they are looking for?

[lissy]

I'm AB- up in Chiang Mai (In Sukhothai at the moment). Let me know if I can help.

Actually , unsure of the AB part, but definitely Rh negative.

[GuestHouse]

I've just sent an email to a friend who is has a rare blood type and is a member of a registered group who help out with these matters.

I've asked him to contact the hospital.

[Bizz]

[jingjingna]

I am blood group AB ...Anti D positive...don't know if I can help. I have tried contact the hospital but nobody seems to know what I am on about and were more interested in where I got the information from!

If I can help let me know!

[bklyngal]

I am in Bkk visitong from the US. I dont know if I can give blood or not but I am going to call the hospital to check the criterier. I am rh- I belive universal. I would be happy to help if I can.

[Nick_GR]

I have before given blood where it has been send overseas by plane in urgent matters due to the rareity of this bloodtype. I will furthermore try to call the above number.

I live in BKK and I'm blood type B...but I just experienced minor vertigo 2 days ago and was on medication(stop taking them today as the doc told me I can stop as soon as I feel better...), would love to help if they can use my blood...contact me if necessary...

[jingjingna]

I have just rec'd a thank you message from mtnthai who states that "she is okay and will have new blood in a few days"..

You have my warmest wishes and I pray your aunt gets well soon !

[thatguy]

hi guys,

perhaps,

it would serve the community well if all members that cared to,

registered their blood type with the forum.

this is not the first call for blood that i've heard here.

the logistics of contact, etc, among these far flung members is problematic,

but

AB-

[damnaam]

Hello. I am a blood donor in the U.K - blood group B RH Negative. I will be in Bangkok from 29th October if this is any help. Best of luck.

[rundmw]

I, too, am blood type B+, currently in Phuket, no plans to be in BKK soon, though.

Feel free to contact me if I can help: [email protected]

[jingjingna]

I agree with "thatguy" who suggests in his post that we should register as blood donors on this forum. Perhaps someone from Admin or one of the Mods could get it organised for us.

[george]

Just got this email, hope it can be of any help:

No wonder so many people die.

Is it a joke?

[-  the best  is  to  enter such  requests,    to  :

Yes, and furtermore that number is the "official" number and closed on weekends and the number written is also wrong ! 001 is area code for the US.

Correct number is : +41-227346001

I agrre with "thatguy" also on his point of view. Maybe it can be done with the help of Red Cross in Bangkok ? Or that information could be entered into a sort of bloodbank database, of course this should be with members full consent !

Regards

**Edit** Content to consent LOL was a little fast on the keyboard there

[damnaam]

Or that information could be entered into a sort of bloodbank database, of course this should be with members full content !

I'd give my consent don't know if I'd stretch to full content though...

001 is the international dialling code from Thailand - ie, what you have to press if you don't have a '+' button. Though it's much cheaper to dial 009 .....

I got another email on this subject.

Dear Thai Visa:

In response to your lastest urgent plea for rare blood types.

There continually seems to a recurring problem with a shortage in Thailand of 2 rare blood types;which are: type O negative and type B. May I suggest that all of you copied please but your egos aside and find some way to solve this problem. Find a way to have a constant supply of these types on hand in the major cities of Thailand. It is a life or death matter for the Farang Community which should supercede the prices of beer at Nana or Cowboy. All of you are leaders in this community please collectively take and action.

Sincereley

Joe Miller

[lingling]

Anyone interested in donating blood should go and register with the Thai red cross. Then you can help anyone - thaivisa.com member or not - that needs blood. These ideas of some "farang blood registry" sounds a bit weird...

[man]

My blook group is B+ ( am not sure for the other traits) and would be in Bankok from 23rd till 25th. Would be ready on 09-9375749. good luck and warm regards

Here's a quick FYI - The Bangkok Red Cross is located on Thanon Henri Dunant(sp?), not far from the Sala Dang BTS Station. Sorry not to be more specific, but I don't have a map in front of me at the moment.

I've taught a few classes there and know that they have nurses, technicians, etc.. who speak at least some English.
