Go to the border, stamp out, then stamp back in on a Visa exemption. Why risk paying fines for overstay, you can easily get to the border and stamp out in 2 hours with a cheap 500฿ flight from Don Mueng to Udon Thani

I think like Ann says you may be able to get the 7 day extension denied extension. Otherwise, you should be able to do a border bounce for a visa exempt, not necessary to get a new visa. Mae Sai from Chiang Mai, Kanchanaburi from Bangkok, etc. Just avoid Aranyaprathet, it has a not great reputation for it.

You might be able to get a seven-day extension at the Immi, can someone confirm?
