Sea-Hawks Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Could someone explain what the VAT rebate/refund is? And whom it would make sense to? And the step-by-step processes to take advantage of that? thank you, Todd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_B Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I bought a Seiko watch at the King Power shop on Sukhumvit Pattaya and filled out a form at the shop. Wore it for 3 months and went home to UK with the watch. I showed the paper in the Suvarnabhumi airport Departures lounge at the relevent customs counter and they gave me the cash back. I can,t remember the exact figures but it was worth the little trouble it was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john luke Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 A couple of points from me: When making the original purchase, you should have your passport with you. Your passport number is required on the form. Some shops insist on passport being produced; others not bothered. Keep the item you have purchased in your hand luggage; the Thai authorities have a right to ask you to produce the item. The pay out desk is after luggage check in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
