TLDR : Answer Summary

A Canadian traveler planning to visit Thailand for three weeks in June can enter without a visa due to the 30-day visa exempt entry. For their return after visiting Vietnam, they can either buy a single entry tourist visa allowing a 60-day stay or consider a multiple entry visa (METV). It's important to confirm that the airline permits boarding without a return ticket, as this can affect travel plans.

Make sure your airline let you board on first flight to Thailand from your home or whenever you from without return ticket and valid visa.

Otherwise maybe get an METV before you fly would be another choice.

If he has an onward ticket to Vietnam boarding in Canada won't be a problem. The airline only refuse boarding if there is a possibility Thai IO will refuse entry. An onward ticket to SE Asia in fine , it doesn't have to be to country of origin

if you're only comin' here for 3 weeks you don't need any visa because you'd get in on a 30 day visa exempt entry.

When you're in Vietnam you could by a single entry tourist visa from the thai consulate in Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi and that would stamp you in for 60 day.
