TLDR : Answer Summary
A one-day overstay in Thailand is generally manageable, especially for departing travelers. Most users advise that at airports, the fine for a single day of overstay is often waived, and you will receive a 'fine waived' stamp instead of an overstay stamp. However, while leaving, it's wise to ensure you go through immigration and customs by midnight to avoid issues. Future travels may be scrutinized due to the overstay stamp, so it's best to avoid overstaying whenever possible.
overstay stamp. 500 bahts fine. Not a problem. Remember, nothing in Thailand is standardized. It's up to the immigration officer. I had overstayed Stamp because of 3 hours. 500 bahts. Red stamped me, move on.
I got an overstay stamp in my passport a few years ago - the overstay was about 30 minutes! On my next arrival the immi officer in the airport was exceptionally slow at stamping me in - looked a lot at my passport.

Go through customs and immigration before midnight and wait airside for your flight then your not on overstay
That won’t look good in your passport. You might get scrutinized more closely in the future. I wouldn’t overstay again if I was you.

The next time you come back could be a problem with a overstay stamp in your passport. Should just go before you overstay . Take a bus and cross the board. Better to be mindful and not overstay
I did it deliberately a few times over the years, I never had any repercussions for the tiny one day overstay stamps with a squiggle in my passport. This is my 20th winter in Thailand.

Would it be better to purchase flight today or does it matter
in the future - also no problem. It’s a simple money grab. And good on them. You stay long and you either pay for a visa or pay a fine on exit for enjoying their country. No problem either way
