ORIGINAL POSTER

I am here on a non-imm B visa as a visiting university professor. My visa and work permit expire shortly. I would like to stay an extra 1-2 weeks, more or less just as a tourist, after that. Is there anyway to get a short extension like that, on a non-tourist and non-imm visa?

What if one just overstays their visa a week? Pay 3,500 baht fine at airport? Is it a problem?
