you'd most likely have no problem at either consulate in Vietnam.

I asked about if you had previous visas for thailand from Pretoria because some consulate worker there is writing on the visas that you must go back there to get a new one :O :/ :(

That's thrown a LOT of S/A passport holders right off the rails

Good Luck

do you have a visa from the thai consulate in Pretoria that has writing on it.
