His last hotel was about a hotel in Rome. His complaint was that it was in the middle of nowhere. Perhaps his anger should be at who chose the hotel and not the hotel itself.
I was given #2, no fine but a stamp. The first time I assumed if I passed immigration before midnight I was considered out of the country. The second, I saw no point in paying 1900 baht for an extension when my overstay would be an hour and a half and was prepared to pay the 500 baht fine. I will look for my old passports but both have stamp indicating 1 day overstay. I am aware each immigration office appears to interpret the laws differently. Here in Sisaket, immigration is helpful, friendly and laid back.
and I am saying on the two occasions I was in the same position the supervisor, not the officer in the booth, gave me an overstay of 1 day, an admonishment not to let it happen again but no fine. The occasions were 6 years apart.
well Tony, I wish I had your superior knowledge with me twice when the obviously less intelligent immigration officer diverted me to his superior and also with me when his less intelligent supervisor stamped an overstay stamp. FFS
