TLDR : Answer Summary

The question concerns a friend's recent visa situation in Thailand, where he needs to extend his visa but is currently on overstay. Comments indicate that immediate action is required since being on overstay can lead to fines, jail, deportation, and future entry bans. It is recommended that he pays the overstay fine and applies for an extension with the immigration office as soon as possible.

He is currently on overstay. If caught by Immigration or the police, he faces large fine, jail, deportation and ban from entering Thailand in the future. He needs to go to Immigration ASAP and pay his overstay fine of 500 thb per day and apply for an extension.

I try just one time: Do you know the official name of Immigration, it is: Royal Thai Police Immigration Bureau, this makes them all Police officers. And you try to tell us, sorry I deleted all those nonsense, that Police does not care if you overstay and Immigration Office advice to go in Overstay. Take this as your first warning, next time I not only delete your comments but also delete your membership of this page.

He should not wait. A real problem if they catch him before he goes to Immigration. Why take the risk? And YES. They can refuse to extend his visa. If so, they will give him 7 days (including that day) to leave Thailand.

Yes, he is going to do it, but only after three days, a week has passed, can they refuse to extend the visa?
