If you overstay your visa for a week accidentally and have paid the fees and been given a 30 day extension, will this affect border bouncing back in once the 30 days is up?

TLDR : Answer Summary
Overstaying your visa for a week and receiving a 30-day extension generally should not affect your ability to re-enter Thailand via border bouncing. However, it can create the perception that you intend to live in Thailand long-term without proper visa arrangements, which may lead to questions at immigration. It is advisable to ensure you have the correct visa that aligns with your intended stay.
