TLDR : Answer Summary

You do not need a return ticket to Vietnam when traveling from Thailand. While some airlines may enforce strict policies regarding ticketing, you will require an onward ticket out of Thailand if re-entering within 60 days using a visa exemption. Your ticket to Vietnam can fulfill this requirement.

I agree one way ticket okay.

You might check out if you can go in and out of Thailand within the 60 days without an issue as you have a single entry visa

Return to Vietnam? No I don’t see why you would.

Technically, you need a ticket out of Thailand within 60 days, if you’re using visa exemption. Your ticket to Vietnam meets this requirement ( if you have it before you enter Thailand).

Formally you’ll need a ticket out of Thailand within 60 days when you re-enter on another visa exemption. Some of the airlines in Vietnam are known to be quite strict regarding this.

I don’t know when you have your return to the UK if that’s the case, but the requirements are an onward ticket out of Thailand, never a return ticket.
