Need to wait there. Change the flight if needed. My visa was granted on a national holiday in that country (that way wasn't a holiday in Thailand, tho).
You shouldn't have applied at Malaysia without without first checking their requirements. They do require you to have proof of an accommodation for over 6 months. Nothing can be done about it.
Sorry to highjack the post, but if I exit Thailand within the 7-day grace period, is it OK to say I wouldn't face any consequences nor penalties, even if I were to deal with Immigration on the future?
the fine is if you visit Immigration office (not the border agents at the airport) for any reason. Even if you didn't do it, and exit and reenter, there's is no fine if you're not visiting Immigration.
If you stay more than 90 days continously in the country, you need to file the 90 day report, called TM-something. I've heard the first one must be done in person, and the subsequent ones can be done online. If you never stay more than 90 days at a time, then you don't do anything. (I've never stayed more than 90 days in a row in Thailand yet).
sometimes there isn't an "only" country, but more than one country. You can have several passports and/or residence cards. I'm entitled to live either at my country passport (Costa Rica) or my residence country (South Korea, I have a residence card, equivalent to the US green card, where I've been living continously for the past 15 years straight).
