Will I face any issues leaving Thailand today if my visa expires today?
I travel from Phuket to bkk today and leave in morning (2nd) to go to Colombia but my visa runs out today (1st) will I have any issues other than having to pay 500 baht over stay when leaving for colombia
Answer summary
The user is concerned about leaving Thailand on the same day their visa expires and possible fines. Comments suggest that a one-day overstay may incur a fine but often is waived, although it could result in a red stamp in the passport. It's recommended to ensure departure before midnight to avoid complications in the future.

If you can get stamped before midnight I advise that. If you ever wanna come back to Thailand. An overstay does not look good in a passport

No overstay fine for one day (it does apply but it gets waived). You do get a red stamp in your passport though.
