[General] Past action with HAVE

[grammarfreak]

Fifteen days ago a friend of mine who studies english like me dropped in on me and we shared our knowledge of language as usual. At the time he was leaving, I told him :

Thank you for dopping in

Then we continued to talk for a little while, and as he was leaving again I told him :

Thank you for coming

Yesterday I was speaking with him on the phone and, when we finished our conversation I told him :

Thank you for having come the other day and come again

Is the phrase FOR HAVING COME correct ? I'm doubtful about it

Please, reply me

You are not wrong Charliedeut, but I think that most native speakers would say simply, "Thank you for coming/dropping by/dropping in".
