Can I apply for a 60-day tourist visa for Thailand before my first entry and use it only for my second entry?

I believe that the OP has the answers needed for his question.

Thanks all for your helpful replies.

If you plan to stay a while get a 6 months multiple entry visa back home...can be extended up to 9 months

Nope, you cannot apply for a tourist visa online using the eVisa website for the thai consulate in the UK before you come here the first time. They would make you use (or lose) it when you enter.

You can enter on a 30 day visa exempt entry when you come in from Vietnam and then take the one 30 day extension you're allowed on that entry for 1900baht at the immigration office where you stay (that'll give you the 60 days you want the second time you enter)

You could go to one of the thai consulate's websites in Vietnam (Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City) read the requirements for a tourist v visa, make an appt to apply for the visa, go apply, wait the processing time, go back and get your passport with the visa in it THEN enter thailand on a 60 day tourist visa stamp.
