Will they accept my first flight as coming from Thailand or Vietnam?Also, should I book the two flights (Saigon - Bangkok and Bangkok - SH) separately, in order to have a clear distinction between my travels?Or will it be enough if I immigrate into Thailand and go right back through customs to catch my flight to Shanghai?Thanks!

Chinese immigration will see this as Thailand-Shanghai-Vietnam, which is fine for transit without visa if your passport qualifies. It doesn't matter if it's on one ticket or two.

Travel plan is Saigon - Bangkok - Shanghai - Saigon, in order to match the third country
