Extensions of stay are not automatic (even awaiting a court case or in custody) they have to be applied for at Immigration.

It doesn't matter, she will not be charged with overstay if she is in police custody.

Does she have any kind of travel insurance? I would contact them and they will likely contact their office or agent in Thailand and they will likely have experience with cases like this. You should be able to get reliable information from them about a lawyer.

 

Above someone suggested not to contact a local lawyer. Personally I guess a lawyer who knows the police and other influential people in that area might be very useful. An insider should be able to do things which an outsider, not from that region, will not be able to do.

How does one do that, if in custody?

With difficulty !

A few years back but one guy I knew had the police escort him to immigration to do an extension and another that had his lawyer do it on his behalf.

There have been reports on this forum of people being charged overstay after court cases.

A few years ago saw a documentary about weed busts on KPG.  They put the culprit in jail, it has to go through court, folks back home dig up the cash, and after a week or two it's over.  I think the total cost of the fine was around UD$3,000 in most cases.  Everybody on the Thai side gets their nose wet, and it's a good day in LOS.  Meanwhile culprit and family are so glad he/she is out of jail no one dares question the practices, just get me the hell out of this country!

Do you know her for more than a couple of days?

Be careful that you don't support someone with a past you don't know.

There might be bad surprises for you...
