TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the options available after overstaying a visa in Thailand, specifically regarding the payment of a fine and the acquisition of a 7-day extension. It is noted that individuals may need to show proof of leaving the country, though this requirement can vary based on the discretion of immigration officers. Clarifications about handling overstays, including the possibility of being refused the extension if one was not eligible initially, are also highlighted.
If for ex u have 3 days overstays, I think u will only be allow to pay for 4 more days (because ur 3 days overstays count when u try to make a extension). It is the case for the 30 days extension, not sure about 7 days but I had to mention it.

so it's come to light that if i wasn't entitled to an extension before overstayed i wont get those seven days so seems back to square one
Gets better, fine is 500 Thb a day, with maximum 20.000 Thb. So after 40 days free to overstay, it becomes worse if you hit the 90 days, than you get blacklisted.

This is his advice on your question of what to do with 7 days overstay three weeks ago:
. Okay, the way it works when you clear an overstay of under 90 days (where you're not banned) IS
you can go to the immigration office, pay the overstay and leave the country THAT day
OR
you can go to the immigration office, pay the overstay and buy an 'extension denied' 7 day stamp for 1900baht to get out of thailand in a week
OR
you can just pay the overstay at the border when you stamp out of the country.
Using any of those options are not gonna cause you any difficulties at a thai consulate getting a new visa.
Face it you're not the first foreigner in the history of thailand to overstay.

You should be able to go in clear your overstay fine, apply for an extension (which will be denied) and get the 7 day extension denied stamp to get outta thailand.
I HAVE seen officers ask people for proof that they're leaving in 7 days but it is rare.
Do keep in mind it is 100% up to the discretion of the officer whether they'll let you get that 7 day stamp or whether they'll have you clear your overstay, deny the 7 day stamp and make you leave the country that day.
