TLDR : Answer Summary
In Thailand, after initially extending a 30-day exemption for another 30 days, you may receive a 7-day extension, which is essentially an "application for extension denied" stamp. This allows you an additional week to exit the country. The cost for this stamp is 1900 baht. It's important to note that receiving this stamp does not lead to any special treatment during future entries into Thailand; it simply indicates that your visa extension application was not approved.

For sure you do not get any VIP treatments if you like to cross the border depending on this stamp. But is it nothing more than it says: your application is not approved, nothing more, nothing less. No special actions at borders in the future.

Is this a “bad thing”? Will you get special treatment when you re-enter another time? Like more in depth border control or sth?

nope, it doesn't count against you at all.

The 7 day extension is actually an "application for extension denied" stamp and gives you a week to get out of the country, it costs 1900baht.

, nope, depending on the immigration office you can go a couple weeks early (or if it's a picky one a week before).
