Bangkok-Phuket-other (tax refund and telephone) (July 2006)

This two-part I did not experience, because the purchase of goods is not a tax rebate, phone collected content more scattered, hope you all can also be useful.

Tax refund

1. in Thailand, only marked VAT refund for tourist shopping centre, on the day of the same stores, consumer exceeds the 2000B in Thailand's total consumption exceeds 5000B can tax rebates. In a shop to buy more than 2000 baht a day all over again to buy vat return counter application or later cannot fill in the day in the shopping centre; fill in the form of VAT refund-tax refund application form (PP10 form).

And then taken to the airport before you check in to the airport security check out of the Customs Office of VAT refund tax office to review the documents under seal, and security in the duty-free shops rebate Department duty refund office for tax rebates.

2. valuables rebate has 7%, other 6.5%.

3. the revenue of every exit 100B a handling. can choose cash, or credit card, if you return to the credit card to charge.% as much as you do not remember, because we do not refund the money, so do the cash.

4. you can put all of the documents placed in a passport following do refund.

5, food is not refundable, individual stores is marking the cashier does not refund, discount merchandise will no longer refund; BOOTS is not a tax rebate;

6. in the duty refund desk of the fill list fear take Passport ticket is lost your passport number and flight number to cut down with.

7, 7% rebate is equivalent to discount, attraction or quite large drops, but this is only a stimulating consumption means, in fact, the less cost-effective.

First of all, PP10 form requirements must be a single day of shopping full 2, 000B, together with the rebate's bottom line, it is very likely to buy a bunch of originally and don't want to buy the pod. Secondly, some shopping discount greater than 7%, so it is better than direct discount, rebate money-saving free from worry. Get rebate forms to fill, the airport to the baggage prior to customs, in accordance with Chapter confirm at instruction above said is also out of the box, and then to frequently check out passport before going to the VAT refund office collar rebate money. However, each person to be out of service charge! so 100B if there is a better discount, or you did not meet the rebate's bottom line and want to throw together something hard, advise you to give up, tax rebates as imagined so convenient and cost-effective.

Phone

This time not with a cell phone, is our biggest mistakes before you leave that the two of us will not be lost, so use the phone.

But in fact rows with travel agents, car rental, you will need to contact, etc. Also if you encounter can go friends, can also be convenient to contact.

If you only need to hit Thailand phone call in phone booth is very cheap, 1-2b/min, enough money, so when prompted for a long time on the phone don't stop coin.

Telephone booths, but a payphone.

Airport the best selling phone cards shop child at the airport, opposite, 711 711 at 2/f, until you come to a conclusion, there are signs, followed by a foodcentre 711.

Orange99b SIM seems to have a child in the shop to buy in! cheapest to 199b, 60b calls than orange 99b-60b calls for very effective! as a long distance call, 711 door often see international gateway, however it was to long distance calls the face value of the card, and is, 500b 300b 7b/min, price is good, but the nominal value is too large! there is a cafe, a many Internet bars can make long-distance calls, but the price is not very cheap, I asked is 25b/min. So, make a long distance call the most cost-effective way is in the city of orange shop or buy a phone card shop 99b of orange SIM card, playing with 009 7b/min.

Airport house phone card shop towards 9AM-late 6PM can buy orange card.

Reprint a section of the Hong Kong friend on orange that 99b card describes:

General reports and many Thai people reflect:

Orange only in large cities of Bangkok & City area or tourist Federation features telecommunications, OK

Other provinces in the rural area sometime connected telecommunications, are not

If you go south as Phuket in sea 釣 緊 魚,

For example, in the city to the suburbs of the city's Highway

You use the best communications, most 12call huaqiang

Cutting records, different companies have time so difficult to get through

Used by sawadee to 12call d (baht 2.5/min), 12call with ordinary plan baht 300.-/30dyas but with money back short with date 駛 soon expired

eg. baht 300.- /15dyas only

Happy 200 baht dprompt relationships.

– Only 50baht call time.

-If you fight back to Hong Kong 009, just 7 baht/min.

-Thai country accept telephone touch free

Three hours with an archive. I think the sound quality was general reports-, telecommunications, and charges (per minute a 銖/first minute 2.5-5 銖), like the most is dPrompt. and there location display. well, fear of getting lost. There are only part of the SIM one-2-call this feature.

Orange so your communications (2004 year after), Bangkok, internal corners too much, Bangkok júbilo is inhibiting effect of inhibiting effect.

General visitors commonly used is happy and the orange card, call Basic is the same, Thailand's domestic 1b/minute, if China or Hong Kong, then dial 009 + 86 + area code + number, calls are also very cheap, I called back to Shenzhen also 7b/minute, or roughly $ 2 RMB, but using a mobile phone to make international long distance!
