not true the only risk is that if you get stopped and caught by immigration police they can arrest you deport you and ban you for a year if the overstay is less than 90 days or something like that. I had in the past overstayed for couple of days and never had a problem to get any visas after that. But yes better to extend and invest the time and money to do so for peace of mind.

That’s 60 days you can extend for extra 30 days at the cost of 1900THB or you can risk to be couple of days in overstay and pay the fine of 500 THB per day at the airport.

You have to go out of the country go to a Thai embassy and apply for a non b visa with the all necessary documentation.

Worst case scenario they will fine you 2000 next time you go do it

They can come and check you as many times as they like so you don’t have much ground to file a complaint

No need anymore

Probably yes

Nope

Just pass immigration before midnight and purchase an entrance in a lounge have some food, drinks relax in some lounges you can even take a nap and kill the down time that way.

In samui I was asked copy of last year bank book and bank statements (which is the same exactly thing just the bank statements are paid service and there is a bank stamp)
