10 Things You Should Never Do In Thailand
6. Don’t Overstay
As with other countries, visitors to Thailand are given a certain amount of time to stay in the country, depending on which visa they have. Most people will be leaving within this period anyway, but others might wish to extend their stay. If for whatever reason, your stay takes you beyond your leave date then you must get the visa extended.
Some people might choose to just pay a fine at the airport when leaving, but this is risky. The Thai immigration department does perform sweeps to look for overstayers and nobody is exempt from the rules. If caught, you will likely be expected to go to court. You will also face a temporary ban from returning to the country if you go on overstay by a certain amount.
