TLDR : Answer Summary
You can complete the digital arrival card for Thailand up to 3 days before your arrival. The system allows you to select a date that is 1 to 3 days before your entry, but not more than 3 days in advance. This has been confirmed by multiple contributors.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

Realize that if you're crossing international date line you've already lost one day in transit.

You can do it up to 3 days before arrival. You cannot choose a date that's greater than 3 days away on the form. But you can choose a date that's 3 days, 2 days, 1 day, or today.
