ORIGINAL POSTER

Just got a tourist visa in Vientiane. On the form I filled I suggested arrival in Thailand on the 5th of august. But I just got the visa and it states it's valid starting 26th of july (which was the day of the initial appointment, kind of stupid imo). Am I okay to arrive in Thailand a few days after the date written on the visa? Thanks.
