Can I just do the TDAC 3 days prior arrival?
Answer summary
Yes, you can complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) up to three days prior to your arrival in Thailand. You can also complete it up to the day of your arrival. Despite some confusion in the comments, it is confirmed that the TDAC can be applied for as soon as three days before arrival, and even on arrival day at the airport.

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.

i was trolled, bullied and harassed for my posts and racists comments which is against Facebook and Thai cyber laws. I tagged group admin also and informed abt situation but nothing was done and i was told just block the guy and move on. Well i coming from Singapore and Dubai where laws are strict and racism is taken seriously. But these boot lickers cheapsters think they can act cool and hide their identity in groups . Well no wonder thai government need to reform laws for providing visa and do profile filtering. We don't need someone who destroys thai culture and spoil reputation.

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 3 days prior to arrival.

You can do it 2 days prior to arrival.

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.

@Albert *******
no. Anyone can do it whenever they want. It just needs to be done by the time you get to passport control. You can do it in line if you want. The earliest you can do it is 3 days before you arrive

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.
