: the process of tax refund in Bangkok

Not all shops in Bangkok can get tax refund. If you want to refund the tax, there is also a premise that the store where you shop needs to have the following sign of "VAT refund for tourists". This is the first premise, and the second premise is that the quantity of goods you buy must reach a certain standard. If you spend more than 2, baht in a store with the sign of "VAT refund for tourists", you can get a tax refund.

when you are ready to check out after shopping, there are two ways to get the P.P.1 tax refund form:
1. tell the clerk to "refund the tax" when checking out. At the same time, something will happen to your passport. The passport photo in the mobile phone is also ok. The staff will help you fill out the PP1 form and sign it. After that, your back room receipt and this yellow P.P.1 form will be bound together. Here is your tax refund voucher.

Credit card
When the tax refund is made, the staff who refund the tax will brush the deposit with the credit card with the same name as the passport. This is to ensure that the goods bought by tourists when they leave the country are duty-free, and the details are handed over to the customs. The amount of the deposit will be brushed according to the "amount that the airport will refund".
For example, the average airport tax refund is 8 baht, while the urban tax refund is only 4 baht, and the deposit will be 8 baht instead of 4 baht. This deposit will be refunded to the credit card you swiped at that time within 14 days after your departure.
