ORIGINAL POSTERI 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
TLDR : 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

the 2 times by land per annum no longer applies. Land entries are now treated in the same way as air entries but be aware they are cracking down on this behaviourRichie ********

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