TLDR : Answer Summary
If your visa extension stamp indicates you must leave Thailand by February 7, you must go through immigration before midnight on that date to avoid any problems. While your flight is scheduled for 2 AM on February 8, you should ensure you complete the exit process before the expiration date to avoid fines or complications. Although there is a chance of being fined for a short overstay, it's best to leave before the deadline.

As the others have said, get through before midnight, once you are airside I believe you have technically left as you can’t come back through without an escort. So I think you would be good to go.

Never ever overstay!!!

Go to immigration ,they will sort it .

You risk being arrested and immigration prison .

And a overstay stamp.is not a good thing in your passport

Many will blast me ,but it can and does happen

You won't like it much !

Ya ya ya many do it with no problem

Do you want that gamble?

No, just go through Immigration before midnight.

The worst that can happen is you'll be fined 500thb for overstaying 1 day.

Just get through immigration before midnight on the 7th and don’t use the auto gates to leave….get your passport you’re stamped out by an immigration officer.
