Answer summary
The user is facing an issue with their Thai visa that is valid until February 1st while their return flight is scheduled for February 5th. Users in the comments clarify that the visa validity date is the last date for entry into Thailand and not for departure. They suggest that the user can enter Thailand before February 1st and then receive a 60-day stamp, which would cover their stay until April 1st. Other advice includes considering changing the flight or being aware of visa overstay penalties.

It's a multiple entry visa.
It should be valid for 180 days, not 90.
Didn't anyone notice that?

You can ask for a 7-day extension if you have not asked for one in the last year. In case you want be sure just go to an immigration place near you and ask for it. This is in case this is the stamp you have until 1 Feb in your passport.

VIetnam issues visas like that. But not Thailand and most other countries give you a 3 month period to enter for the first time and then you get 60 days stamp from your arrival date.

pas d’inquiétude c’est la date d’entrée dans le pays qui fera que vous pourrez restez 60 jours !
l’indicateur du 5 février c’est que pour rentrer dans le pays vous devez le faire avant le 5 février c’est une date d’utilisation
le visa délivré est valable 3 mois Pour l’utiliser…d’où ces dates !!!

When do you arrive Thailand ?
You can stay 60 days before you need to get an extension or leave.
You can enter until 1 of February.

Many people get this wrong.
That date is only the date until you can enter.
You will get the visa when you enter.
So 60 days from the day you enter Thailand if you enter before 1 February

You can enter Thailand any time during the period 4 November through 1 February. Your 60 days starts on entry. So, make sure your 60 days includes 5 February.
Thaimer ******
You’re reading it wrong. That’s latest date you need to enter Thailand. Once you enter you’ll get 60 days stamp
Steve******
Validation until only means your visa expires then. If you enter before you will get the 60 day stamp irrespective of the validation period of the visa.
But you could have googled it or any AI search engine would have told you that too. Or just using the search function of the group. This kind of question is asked every second day.

Michael *****************************
If you cross a border, let’s say 31 January and come back the same day, you will get 60 days more than after approximately 40 days you can visit the nearest immigration office and extend with 30 days more,…
I know it wasn’t your question, but this scenario is an option..
