Thanks trawler.

 

When you say "tax return" are you talking about the  sales tax refund offered at the airports?      I'm unclear about  this.

 

"nobody bothered with it except as others have mentioned in the bigger hotels."

They certainly bother about it now, I'd say.

 

 

 

 

 

No in the older days you needed a tax return clearance certificate if you lived in Thailand and wanted to leave(every time).

Watcharacters what is your interest? Curiosity or are you writing a book or something? Be good to know.

 

Sorry, Blue. 

 

I just saw your post and want to answer.     Primarily you're correct in that I'm personally curious and I had therefore searched Google for information on it for  myself   That search came up empty  and since I  know Google archives forums I thought what better way to provide that information for the future than directly from those people who experienced it.

 

Thanks for any contribution you can make.
