Chiang Mai airport is the most lay back in all Thailand. I travel through that airport more then 10 times. First, you overstayed by 1 day, not 12 hours, it's counted in days. Second, overstay is 500 baht fine per day, but for a day usually you don't get charged. Do you remember if you got charged and if so, how much? Third, no, you won't have problem when you come back. The stamp you got is a "overstay notice", which tens of thousands of foreigners get every year. I have had several of these stamps in the last 12 years. It's not a problem as long as you overstayed for less then 90 days. Anyone who tell you otherwise is using google at their information.

Do not listen to the newbies below with their "2 weeks" of life experience in Thailand. You DO NOT have to pay given the situation explained above. If the hospital refuse to speak with your insurance company with phone in hand you can at any time leave the hospital. The hospital is "testing" every foreigner resilience in such situation.

@Brian *******

is 100% correct.

@Bobby *******

You are a grumpy old fart, there is no retirement visa for under 50 years old :)

@Bobby *******

Some people have money and don't want to leave the country, and on the other end some people don't have 400k for a marriage visa, etc, but still want the visa. Yes, everyone gets their cut, but it's valid and authentic, all the stamps are the same you would get if you had done it yourself.

@Bobby *******

You said "dodgy visa" it's not dodgy it's authentic. The same goes for a lotto ticket on the black market, if you win you get paid, it's legit.

@Michael *******

OP was clueless.

@Bobby *******

November 2019, brahhhh, everything changed visa related during covid. You are an outdated boomer ;xd

@Bobby *******

Stop spreading false information. It CAN be done with the help of an agent and the stamps will be 100% authentic.

@Robert ********

Then don't write a wall of text trying to patronize others about your love story which nobody asked for.

Paul Weinhardt I don't understand what you mean? 50 years old+ is to have access to retirement visa. There is no other visa to stay long term in Thailand except Elite Visa (500k baht). All the visa that allow you to stay long and renew are mostly done with the help of agent, not legal, but legit and never enforced. The only truly long term visa is retirement visa.
