Just a quick logic check, I am flying to the Philippines on the 28th Jan at 3.30am. If I clear thai immigration by 12pm on the 27th I should avoid any overstay. Is that right?
Answer summary
The user is concerned about avoiding overstay fines while traveling to the Philippines. Comments suggest that as long as they clear Thai immigration before their flight and check in on time, they will not incur any fines for overstaying, especially if they travel within 24 hours of their overstay.

okay first off what's up with cutting it so close that you're counting the hours ?? I mean WTF?

Secondly, If you're flying out, and you have an overstay of under 24 hours you do not get fined the 500 baht AND you do not get the big overstay stamp in your passport. Instead you get a small thai language only "overstay of under 24 hours fine waived" stamp and you get to leave. Like this

Reach airport before 11pm and meet the immigration officer. As you are at airport on 27th and not overstayed. You will have no problem. There will be no fine. No problem at all. Secondly do your online checkin for your flight on 27th itself and print your boarding pass.

The time you walk through immigration isn‘t what counts. You do have to show your boarding pass to the IO and they do see the departure time. Then it is up to them to let you through or referr you to a supervisor.

Abdul Basit They actually don’t let you pay for the first day. They let you pay 1000 baht after 2 days and then 500 baht/day after that.

The check in counter will open 12:30am so I don’t think you will be able to pass immigration before midnight. Don’t worry, if you pass immigration around 1 or 2am you won’t be paying an overstay fine.

you are right. He will not get a fine. But they could give him an overstay stamp in the passport, depending on the mood of the IO.
