OK. Firstly notice the IO forgot to stamp an overstay from 24 Sept—02 Oct 2018. On 02 Oct the IO also forgot to stamp an exit stamp from Thailand. But was stamped into Malaysia despite this.

They then entered Thailand again on 02 Oct 2018 on a visa exempt entry. On the 31 Oct they extended their visa. Notice that the extension stamp is until the 30 Dec 2018.

I understand it should have only been for 30 days and they should go and get it corrected.

However if they play the ignorance card and wait until the 30 Dec 2018 before exiting as the stamp in their passport shows, will they get into any sort of trouble? For example have to pay an overstay fine or made to go back to their immigration office and get the stamp corrected and then obviously will have to pay an overstay fine?

Or will they be simply stamped out without a problem?

Just want to make my friend aware of all possibilities. Thanks for your advice in advance.

It depends what immigration office you go to. But once you are seen by an officer it is 5 minute process... As for doing another border bounce as it is called you can only do two of these per calendar year by land.
