In " Japan and blood types; Does it determine personality?", Ruth Evens reports that Japanese have been influenced their society by personalities interpreted from blood types since the beginning of the discovery of the ABO's blood type; in other words, many Japanese people have been catered according to blood types such as military, sport, work, politics, or even food products.
This picture shows when each blood types; A, B, O, and AB have an appointment at 3 o'clock, and their responses differ from each others depending on their blood group characters. This cartoon can infer that some Thai people are curious about personality of each blood type as Japanese believe. However,this issue in Thailand is less popular than Japan.
Personally, there is a wondering question that it is true that blood types relate with our personality. In the article above, Evens does not mention any study to support this relationship; however, he just mentions about some popular Japanese books.
However, according to "Blood type and personality", Rogers and Glendon conclude their study that there is significant irrelevance between blood type and personality.

I don't know about blood type and personality, but I do know that some people believe that there is a link between blood type and diet.
