TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can enter Thailand whenever you want with your DTV visa, regardless of the dates you provided on your application. Make sure to print out the visa approval email, as you may need to present proof of your DTV visa to airline staff and Thai immigration upon arrival. Ensure that your visa is properly stamped for a 180-day stay.

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

the information you gave them to GET the DTV issued at the thai consulate has nothing to do with when you really enter thailand, you can come in when ever you want
