Can I still claim a VAT refund in Thailand after returning and without following the correct exit procedure on my first departure?

The user inquires about the possibility of claiming a VAT refund in Thailand after failing to get goods inspected before their initial departure. They have since re-entered Thailand and plan to leave again in 30 days. Responses indicate mixed experiences regarding whether a refund can still be claimed, particularly due to the stipulation that goods must be presented for inspection prior to initial departure.
