They should offer the downtown expats an free beer if they come and donate blood. The donation centre will be flooded with expats....

There was Saturday also a blood donation event in BigC South Pattaya.

Sorry but what does asthma. Allergy and history of sexual diseases such as gonorea chlamydia to do with not giving blood? These diseases when cured and not transferable or staying in blood.

Or they simply don't run tests on blood and this is their way of limiting bad blood?

These rules are writtten by the Red Cross and used at all blood drives

Phew...there for a moment...I thought the Pattaya Mafia had gone on a rampage...

Any drive in Pattaya can increase blood pressure so it is a great idea.

In BKK the Red Cross wouldnt accept blood from me on the grounds of having lived in UK in the Eighties because of fears about mad cow disease
