They said they submitted online. You can check the tax dept website or call them. But the forms are in thai.

@John ****

thanks John. So only fill in one form “PND1” and hand in to the bureau and that is good enough right? Or online submit, can I ?

Yea if complete the check up I can request to receive by prompt pay system.

i think you mean the VAT "value added tax" which you will get back inside the airport if you can present them all receipts you got for your purchases. You can only apply if you are on a tourist visa, though
