TLDR : Answer Summary

A 5-day overstay may not generally cause issues when returning to Thailand from a border run, especially if you have paid the associated fine. However, your past entry history may play a role in the re-entry decision.

500 a day or get a 30 day ext before you fly, for 1900

you still have to pay the overstay fine even if she was to go get an extension so what would be the point in that? Cost less to do it at airport and just pay the 2500 fine

Thank you for the info! I did try to make it before overstaying but went to the wrong place (immigration detention center) that was on a Friday, then Monday was a Thai holiday 🤦🏽‍♀️

immigration detention centre is where you go if you are caught on overstay. You really don't want to go there

I’ll have to pay 20k baht?! 😱

John **********

@Raquel *******

no, but they can ask to see you have that amount in cash when returning. You will pay 2500 baht when you leave, 500 baht per day of overstay. It's really not a good idea to overstay for future reference, if the police come across you on overstay you will normally be deported, but just a fine if you reach the airport

ok. Will have to pay 2500 baht and get stamped. Should be no issue for return at all if you have no bad history

That would depend on your past history of entries I’d assume. A single overstay wouldn’t generally be an issue. You’ve paid the fine. Case closed.
