Max Mansfield on Monday morning go to Thai Immigration office and apply for the 30 days extension of stay. It's 1900 Thai baht Plus a fine of 500 Thai baht per Day OVERSTAY.

Do NOT 🚫 delay as Thai Immigration Officers are ready to assist you NOW. But if you wait you run the Risk of being ARRESTED, fined and worse.

THESE are the common found requirements for the 30 days extension of stay at Thai Immigration office...be sure to have a TM30 address registration on file with Thai Immigration office.

so you are already on 2 days overstay (500 baht a day). If you can/have time, go to immigration today and apply for a 30 day extension(1900 baht). else when you get to Pattaya , file a TM30 (notice of residence of a foreigner) and then go pay at least 3 days overstay and apply for a 30 day extension.
