Do they not allow you just to pay your fine at the airport? Perhaps he didn’t have enough.

Only the Thai would be so fucking stupid in preventing an overstayer from quitting the country in order to return to his own country. Simply recording the breach and barring any future entry is quite enough.
Third world fuckwittery at its stupidest, but then this is Thailand.
