You can wait until they reopen on the 17th and apply for an extension then, there will be no overstay charges, but it will be mobbed. A visa run will only get you 15 days since it is by land.

so i wont have to pay overstay charges if i go 3 days late?

thank you

am i correct in thinking If you visit on first working day after holiday there will not be any overstay charges and extension can take place normally?

really dont want to sit 10 hours in a minibus if i dont have to.

worse case scenario is they charge you 1500 baht for overstay but unlikely if first day opening because of holiday.

You won't be charged overstay as long as you do it on the first day that they are open after the holiday.

per above. No overstay charge if you visit first day they are open again (Tuesday).

Extension will cost 1,900 baht plus passport size photo and it is going to be very busy, so go early (before they open).
