Okay, so I'm a donut, flight to UK is on the 21-Sep from BKK. So entered Thailand 22-Aug...stamped in until 20-Sep😟(forgot to count the day I entered the country🤦‍♂️). Anyway need to extend by just one day. What do you think my best options are?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user has a flight from Thailand to the UK and realized they overstayed their visa by one day, mistakenly not counting their arrival day. They are seeking options to address this overstay. Comments suggest doing nothing and departing as there is typically no fine for overstays of less than 24 hours, with the process being straightforward at the airport.

You're not the first one to not count the arrival day as Day #1

If you one day over .. Just do as Tod Daniels said in reply above

do nothing, show up at the airport to fly out

as a rule with an overstay of under 24 hours they waive the 500baht fine and they only put a small stamp next to your departure stamp in thai that says "overstay under 24 hours fine waived"

nope, no issues at all, you think you're the first foreigner who didn't know that the day you stamp in is day ONE, no matter what time you arrive and mis-counted by one day?
