On the application website, the drop down calender will highlight the dates that can be available at that specific time. So there is no guesswork.

That's the earliest you can do it. It says "within 3 days of arriving" so 1day before or 2 or 3.

Do it three days before, two days before or one day before.

You can do it when you land in Thailand before you get to immigration.

You can do it 1 day prior to arrival.

You can do it the day of arrival.

You can do it at the airport as you are walking to immigration.

The choice is yours.

If you like waiting in line twice, sure. When you get there they will send you out of line to the kiosks if it's not done already.
