What should I do if my 30-day visa exemption is about to expire on a holiday in Thailand?

John-Paul ******

Just go in on Monday. Go in with a smile and apologize profusely for not knowing it was the anniversary of the the late King's death. You should be fine. The late fee should be waived if you al really apologetic you be fine. But you should always check the reporting date does not fall on a weekend/holiday.
