ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi, my parents are visiting and leaving on the 11th Jan. Their tourist visa expires on the 9th. Do we need to extend at Immigration or can they just pay the 2 days overstay at airport? Guy in Phuket town immigration said they "may" get an overstay stamp. Anyone have any experience or advice please? TIA
