Yeah, had to book flight back to Da Nang where I came from, then new flight to Ho Chi Minc because there's no embassy in Da Nang. Then get tourist visa which takes a few days, then back to Bkk. I also had to get evisa to Vietnam and wait in their airport detention for 2 days before getting back to Da Nang so it was definitely a grim experience
If you have already done 2 border/visa runs by land, you're likely to be denied entry back to Thailand in Bkk airport. I was in Vietnam for a week on got denied access on the way back because I had done 2 borders runs before and didn't have tourist visa. That was 3 years ago.
Damn. Everybody trying to help by telling the truth. This guy is too deep in love to even consider that he's just being used for money. Even if she actually liked him, the fact that he's so in love already is gonna be repulsive to her if they were to meet. She is good. Nothing more we can do. At least we warned him. He's gonna have to learn by his own mistake. A woman that genuinely desires a man would never ask to send money.
