Explanation

คืน means “return” and เงิน means “money,” so คืนเงิน is literally “return money.” To say who receives the refund, use คืนเงินให้... “refund to...” Common phrases include คืนเงินเต็มจำนวน “give a full refund” and คืนเงินบางส่วน “give a partial refund.” In policies and notices, the nominal form การคืนเงิน is very common.

Usage

It is commonly used when returning products, canceling online orders, requesting refunds for hotels, flights, or tickets, handling service problems, and in payment or customer support notices.

Caution

Use คืนของ or คืนสินค้า for returning an item. คืนเงิน is specifically about returning money. For paying back money borrowed from a friend, คืนเงินที่ยืม makes the context clearer.
