If I were you, I would not send the thank you note.
As an interviewer, I am not interested in how polite you are or what. In fact, sending me a thank you note only tells me that you are pretty desperate. I mean I should be the one who is thanking you for making the special trip all the way to the company and risking not getting the job therefore making a fruitless trip. So if you are sending me a thank you note what does this tell me. That something went wrong in your current company and that you are desperate to leave. And also that you are not very capable and have to rely on a thank you note to gain my favor.
If you really want to impress your interviewer, you should maintain cool. In other words, let the interviewer know that you are interested in the position but then at the same time also give the interviewer the impression that not getting the job is not going to affect you in anyway. You should only try to impress the interviewer during the interview. What happens after the interview is that maybe you could probably clarify the wrong things that you perhaps said in the interview. But then you should not be agressively pushing the interviewer after that.
The only person you should sound desperate to is to your job agent. Leave the desperateness to your job agent. Be very subtle so as not to expose yourself. Between the person who send me the thank you note and the person who did not send me the thank you note, I would choose the person who did not send me the thank you note.
The purpose of the interview is to identify the best candidate. So you only need to woo the interviewer about what you can contribute. Other things would be just a waste of time and may even be detrimental. You do not want to leave a sour taste with the interviewer right?

For me, thank you note is just a simple note to thank the interviewer for their busy schedule to meet you, after filtering tonnes of application.
It also to reinforced into the interviewer mind to remember you, imagine easily they interview 5-10 candidates just for 1 role. The interview last for 1-2 hours only, and, you need to impressed them within this short time, to a complete strangers who meeting multiple persons, on top of their usual day to day job.
And, sometime, the thank you note can be deciding factor in hiring, imagine if they have 2 similar qualified candidates, the one who send in the thank you note, will show that this person is seriously want eager for this job, thus, landing him/ her for this role.
