VAT refund but flight leaves 1 am after customs stamp is from day before naturally

[OKF]

Hi@all,

 

I would like to claim some higher sum of VAT back but I read “Vat refund for tourist” website that customs stamp need to be same day then departure. My flight will depart at 1 am, so naturally the customs stamp cannot be same day. Has anyone ever had that experience? Sounds so ridiculous for me (I know this is Thailand). 

 

However, is the customs stamp really dated and does someone really pay attention to it?

 

Some swift answers would be appreciated.

I would try to get the refund. At worse they will say No. Are they there 24hrs a day?

they are there at opening hours

 

To try is not an option, as I will not buy if unsure, that why I seek advice/opinion/experience here.

I don't see the problem, but just do it anyway, as they are not stupid, and will allow for your situation IMO. The worst that can happen is you miss out on a few baht if they say no.

 

Up to you.
