Slightly Overstaying In Thailand Due To miss count (31 days) [duplicate]

I bought a ticket to Thailand I arrive in Bangkok September 2nd, and leave October second. I essentially fly out on my 31st day in the country. I also have bought a one way ticket to Laos near the end of my trip to spend a few days there then was considering just crossing back over the border by bus.

I am not a little concerned that I may have an issue without having a visa (although I am going to leave the country for a day or two or more). I have just read so many different views on this. I tried to reach the consult, which seems to be quite challenging. I also live about 7 hours away from the nearest one and I am not in a window now to apply by mail. Any advice?

You don't list your nationality, but if you are from one of the 55 countries that qualify for visa exempt entry, you will get a 30 day entry stamp upon arrival and then again when you return from Laos.

The issue will be the airline you fly from home to Thailand with as they are supposed to check that you are leaving Thailand before 30 days. Normally an air ticket is required for this. As you didn't really specify what your ticket to Laos was, the trip to Laos may or may not satisfy the airline staff.
