Tax refund

Hi all, I have just filed my taxes and it looks like I'm getting a small amount back. They require promptpay for this, but I can't link that to my Thai ID because I'm not Thai. How does this work?

TLDR : Answer Summary
An expat filed their taxes in Thailand and is expecting a refund, but cannot link PromptPay to their Thai ID. The community advises that PromptPay can be connected to a Thai mobile number instead. If not set up, it is necessary to link it through a bank. Alternatives include receiving the tax refund via cheque, which can be deposited into a Krung Thai Bank account. One user even shared an experience of having a Krung Thai account opened easily for this purpose.

PromptPay is linked to your Thai mobile number. You need to set it up with your bank first, if not done so already.
