TLDR : Answer Summary
A South African citizen who has overstayed a Non-B visa by a few days is considering a visa run to Cambodia to obtain a 30-day entry back into Thailand. Responses indicate that they can indeed get a 30-day visa exemption upon their entry into Thailand, and it's possible to resolve any overstay fines at the border. Suggestions include utilizing a travel agency to handle the border run and ensuring payment in U.S. dollars for the Cambodian visa on arrival.

Somebody renting a condo here last year went from Pattaya. If I remember it was 2800 baht. No idea what it included but I know he had to wait a while as they never went everyday. It's pretty quiet with people now so I doubt they are busy to go everyday anyway.

I've no idea who the agency was other than they were Russian.

you are posting duplicate content. I have already advised you that South African citizens qualify for visa exempt on your other thread.

okay you can just do a border-bounce with a company to the cambodian border and they'll charge you 500Baht a day for the overstay, stamp you out of thailand, stamp you in and out of cambodia and stamp you back into thailand.

Use a company so that you don't have any problems.
