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.

I requested a cheque, the cheque that was sent was only able to be paid into krugthai account, I didn't have a account there so they opened one for me at branch no questions asked, easiest account I ever opened 10mins and done ๐Ÿ˜€

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

Use your phone number.
