VAT refund at land crossing?

[garyk]

Is there a crossing into another country that offers a VAT refund for good purchased in Thailand. I want to travel to Malaysia and stay. But I do not want to fly. Is there a way to do this?

I searched and can only find international airports that offer the VAT refund.

Thanks, G

From customs department website (bold by me):

Travelers is qualified for a VAT refund if you meet the following conditions:

• You are a non-Thai resident and not staying in Thailand up to 180 days in a current tax year;
• You are not a pilot or a cabin crews of any airline departing Thailand on duty;
• You purchases goods from stores displaying a "VAT REFUND FOR TOURISTS" sign;
• VAT refund only applies to goods taken out of Thailand with the traveler within 60 days from the date of purchase; and
• You leave Thailand via an international airport.

That answers that, thanks for the help.
