Todd I've been here 24 years... I've had one or 2 overstays in that time so I know what they look like and where to find them.

Ok I'll stop commenting... no point if I'm not of any assistance.

4 days

Yes they got receipts

I was with them through the whole process... seemed to be the norm.

One had also lost his TM card... it didn't phase anyone in there... cool as cucumbers and very efficient.

I took 2 lads with overstay to Phuket immigration last week.... no stamp.

Do your overstay at an immigration office 1st, you won't get the dreaded stamp in the back of your passport

I suggest using Google....

Any person who brings or takes an aggregate amount of foreign currency exceeding USD20,000 or its equivalent out of or into Thailand shall declare such amount of foreign currency to a Customs Officer.

Failure to declare upon bringing currency that exceeds the amount restricted by law or its equivalent out of or into Thailand or making any false declaration to a Customs Officer is a criminal offence.

For Thai currency (Baht), any person can bring total amount not exceed THB500,000 to any Thailand’s bounded countries and not exceed THB50,000 to any destination countries.

More than that mentioned amount, you have to declare to a Customs Officer or exchange to others currency before depart from Thailand.
