I really don't want to fall into a dept-trap too...

I must say your comment took me by surprise. If being with your loved one is all that important, as you had said yourself, I find it rather strange that you will not approach your Thai embassy for help to get you back as soon as possible. Then work your butt off to pay back. What is that compared to saving her life, which was your goal?

You can still arrange to sell your guitar when you return, right? After all, if you don't mind less reknowned airlines, you should be able to get cheaper tickets, perhaps with more stopovers than you would.

I myself am taking an overdraft (high interest of course) to help my gal pay for an emergency neuro-surgery for her dad, who has bleeding in the brain now. The amount needed is not small, and it is going to take some effort to pay back the loan. It is just too bad that both of us dun have the cash to pay for the op now. But what the heck - her dad's life is more important and there is no time for us to dilly dally. Now if I am taking a loan to pamper her and let her go shopping , I won't do it of course.
