With an air exit the 500 baht fine has not been collected in the past but passport may get the overstay stamp. This is not normally a problem for entry into Thailand but some other countries don't like it (and it could change for Thailand). Although you would have to be extremely unlucky you could get stopped by police on overstay status and in that case you could be processed and meet a judge. It is especially unwise if departing from a land border as transportation to border areas is often spot checked.

Thanks for the advice. Just to be sure I understand correctly: I do not have to make a quick cross border trip out of Thailand to get the extension. There is an immigration office located in Bangkok?

I just realized my Thailand visa expires on 28 September, but my flight out is on 29 September. What would be the easiest way to get another day added? I am currently in Pattaya and will be going to Bangkok in one week.

I'm gay and a nudist, but it seems that in Thailand you cannot be nudist although gay is okay. I went to Babylon in Bangkok and was shocked to see that everyone wore towels, even at the pool. My next stop is Pattaya, but it does not look to promising from what I can find on the internet. Isn't there anywhere that gays can get together in the nud_e?

Oh great! I am scheduled to fly into Bangkok from Europe on the morning of Sept. 20. Maybe I should go to New Orleans instead.
