If I’m entering Bangkok as a UK national at 11.05pm on the 29th January do I have 30 days from that point of entry - so I’d have to leave by 27th February before 11.05pm ?
Answer summary
As a UK national entering Bangkok at 11:05 PM on January 29th, you would technically have 30 days to stay in Thailand. However, while you counted your departure day as February 27th, it's important to remember that both your arrival and departure days count as full days. Thus, you would need to leave by 11:59 PM on February 27th. To maximize your stay, you could wait until after midnight on January 30th to pass through passport control, which would allow you to extend your stay until February 28th.

Be curious to know what entry date was stamped in your passport.

The exact time is not accounted for. But unfortunately it is rounded to your disadvantage. Your arrival and departure days both count in full.

Luckily you also made a counting error, counting only 29 days instead of 30. You can indeed leave by 23:05 on February 27th, and you even have a few minutes left at that point, until midnight.

No, the 55 mins youll spend in thailand will count as one full day same as if youd entered 23 hours earlier. If its important wait until after midnight to go through passport control

You have the days right, but there's no time restriction. You'd have to leave by 11:59pm on the 27th.

If your flight is arriving at 11pm and you are trying to absolutely maximize your time, hang around the airport until after midnight then head to passport control. You'll get stamped in on the 30th and then will be able to stay until the 28th.
