Anyone that are O- or O+ are extra needed for donations in Thailand so that include us foreigners living here.
I'm O+ and I donate regularly every 3 months as O and and especially O- is always in demand. I see two good things by donating blood regularly, first of all I help my fellow humans and secondly I get a mini check-up every 3 months as they check your BP and screen your blood for infections and so on!

I would gladly donate, and used to regularly, but no longer can.  Diagnosed and treated for a blood cancer, Hodgkin's Lymphoma.  Puts me on the 'Unable to donate list.'

I went to the last blood donor session in Karon.  I was a donor in the UK and the middle east.

On a recent trip to Cambodia I gave blood there also.

Sadly i was not allowed to do so here as I lived in the UK between 1986 -1998 and so I might have mad cow disease! (Some people think I am crazy, I know).  Then they said no as they were concerned for my health!!!

I am 62 and go everywhere by pushbike, no medications and no contra-indications noted - other than living in the UK.

 

The crazy thing about all of this is if were under 55 I COULD donate despite living in the UK in the aforementioned years.

 

It's a crazy situation.
