Answer summary
If you find yourself with a return ticket from Bangkok to Rome that is 10 days after your visa expiration, it is critical not to overstay your visa. Instead of paying the daily overstay fee at the airport, which could lead to serious consequences like arrest or deportation, it is advisable to visit a local immigration office to apply for a 30-day extension of your visa. Several commenters highlighted that planning for an overstay is unwise and emphasized the importance of adhering to visa regulations to avoid issues with future entries into Thailand.

OPI went yesterday to the government visa center, I followed the procedure and the employee took my papers and the money.
After she went to her manager for the final approval that was rejected with the motivation that I had been too little time in Thailand to ask for the visa and come later!!!!?!!?!

A few people on her giving horrible advice. Do not listen to them. Do it legally and go to immigration and extend your stay 30 days.

My advice..
Do not deliberately overstay your visa exemption entry as this could effect future entry to Thailand.
Go to a Thailand immigration office and extend your visa exemption for another 30 days.

500? More like 5000, it's 500 per day you overstay so why do you want problems in the future? Go to your local immigration and extend

Extend it at immigration. Overstay is not a good idea.

@Katrin ******
once it's passed a couple of days. In any case you just signal it and pay the fine (like a big boy/girl/..). Buddhism is forgiving 😉

@Dimitri ****************
why would he pay ฿5000 fine when he could pay only 1900 to extend?Wayne ********
@Dimitri ****************
he’s not talking about a couple of days he’s talking about 10 days big difference!Dimitri *****************
@Wayne *******
agreed

@Dimitri ****************
Unless you get pulled over or stopped by police or immigration and then paying a fine won't be the issue and getting deported and banned willDimitri *****************
@Robert **********
I explicitly said to signal it/to give yourself up to the authorities. You don't allways overstay on purpose (at least I didn't).Maksym ***********
@Robert **********
ban is not worst, immigration jail is not the mustsee place at all

Extend your visa (entry stamp) for 30 days (depending on passport) or do a border run.
You can pay overstay at airport but if you get stopped and found without a valid entry stamp during those ten days. You can be arrested, deported and banned from entering Thailand
