I also posted this in the Bangkok Forum....

I can only find info on getting refunds on articles purchased in Thailand...has anyone gotten back the 7%?

And, how late is the VAT counter open? Where can I find info in English?

That baht 3k sure looks like Thai Customs duty to me, not VAT, sorry.

FYI, here's the VAT rules, looks like they're only for items purchased here by selected people, such as short term tourists:  http://www.rd.go.th/vrt/howwill.html

So is import/customs duty not refundable even though I'm a tourist??

Thanks for your response
