What should I do if I'm overstaying my visa in Thailand and need to change my flight?

Question

hello !
Unable to find relevant and especially recent information related to overstay. This is my first trip outside of my country, I have not thought about it and I am exceeding my 3 day visa.
What is it?
I checked to change my plane ticket on the site of thai airways but the site explains that you have to go to at office for that. And I do not know where they are in Chiang Mai.
I arrived on Thai territory on June 2nd, my visa is one month, so July 1st.
But my return flight is scheduled for July 3rd.
Thank you for helping

The user is concerned about overstaying their 30-day visa exemption by three days and is seeking advice on how to address this issue. They need to change their flight with Thai Airways but are unsure of the airline's office location in Chiang Mai. Several commenters suggest options including extending the visa at the immigration office for 1,900 baht, changing the flight date with Thai Airways, or paying a daily fine of 500 baht for overstaying.

when you showed up and were stamped in for 30 days you didn't come in on ANY visa :/

You were stamped in on a 30 day visa exempt entry <- it has that catchy name because you didn't BUY a visa from a thai consulate before hand and when you showed up you were stamped in for free for 30 days :P

Be that as it may you have three choices,

A - make it to the airline and change your departure date

B - go to the immigration office and get a 30 day extension for 1900baht

C - pay 500 baht a day and get an overstay stamp in your passport for the days you overstayed.

I reckon you get a 500 THB a day fine for overstaying, so 3 days would be 1500 THB. You should have the option to extend your Visa (or exemption), that would set you back about 1900 THB.

I googled the Thai Airways office in Chiang Mai for you. This is the location on google maps. [url redacted] I am not sure if they are open in the weekends though.
