Hi all.. my visa expires on 12 Oct so heading to Cambodia for a few weeks then back to Thailand.  I’ve read that Customs frown upon you leaving on the day the visa expires (which I want to do) - is this true? Should I leave the day before? Thanks in advance for any info

TLDR : Answer Summary

The consensus among commenters is that it is acceptable to leave Thailand on the same day your visa expires. Customs regulations allow travelers to exit until 11:59 PM on the expiration date. Some advice stresses ensuring that flights are not cancelled or delayed.

Just make sure your flight isn't cancelled or delayed at the last minute

You didn't read it here. It isn't true and doesn't even make any sense.
