Many mixed answers

Some countries have 90days visa

Not sure what passport you are holding. I was at the Mae Sai border once and the immigration officer didn't know that either, went to the supervisor and there was a such a thing as a 90days tourist visa.

Did you count arriving 2days later depending on where you are flying from?

You can buy a cheap ticket from somewhere in Thailand to Vietnam one way. You don't use the ticket but you have it .

Not always. I accidentally made my return flight 90 days after my visa application and then realized the Tourist visa is only 60 days. They still approved me.

 might be because you had a return trip on the same airline? If Thailand sends you back, you already have a paid flight.

 tourist is 60 day with a 30 day extension, if so chosen! Overstay a day or two is a common mistake. You may or may not have to pay 500tb per day OS. As others say apologize and pay the fee if required. They will stamp your PP with OS on it.

You can also consider changing your flight. Although even if you have a flexible ticket it’s very expensive.

 for a tourist visa you usually need to show a flight out of Thailand within 60 days of arriving. You can try submitting what you have and see if the embassy emails you for something different

 yes. But you need to check with your airline as they may require you to show proof of leaving Thailand within 30 days if you travel without a visa or within 60 days if you travel with a tourist visa
