Can't read madfrog's question, but most likely your guess is again totally incorrect.
The time that your airplane leaves is crucial to determining if you're on the grace day, not the time you go through immigration.

Dr. L, not to argue the point, just my experience is the guy with the stamp has never looked at my ticket when going through immigration, the only person who looked was the person standing in front of immigration to allow you in.
The point of the comment was what if your flight is at 1205 am.
I think if my visa expires on 6 april, I fly out on the 8th of april at lets say 1 am, I go through immigration on the 7th at 11pm you are "cleared" out of the country on the "grace period day".
But I have only used the grace period one time in the 7 years I have been coming in and out of Thailand.

They will not look at your ticket but on your boarding card.

No, you're still in the country after you've passed immigration.
As I said, the time of your flight is crucial to the decision of whether you are on your grace day or not.
If you're leaving on 12.05am on morning of the 8th of April
and your visa expires on the 6th, then you're not on your grace day, although you likely passed immigration on the 7th.

I always thought that once you pass immigration, you have "left the country", even if you have not yet entered another.
Wasn't that the point of that Tom Hanks movie based on that Armenian (?) guy at the Paris airport who had to live for several years in the airport terminal because they would not let him "into" the country? He was, for all intents and purposes, between countries, even if he was in the airport arrival terminal on French/American soil. (Just the way when we enter an embassy, we are in some bizarre sense, considered to be on that country's soil, even though of course we are not really.)
Of course, the Thai immigration office can chose to measure compliance with their visa requirements however they wish, including by the time of your flight's official departure date. But as a matter of international law, I am fairly confident that once you have had your passport stamped and have passed through to the other side, you have "left" Thailand.
