TLDR : Answer Summary
You can apply for a Thailand tourist visa up to 90 days before your intended travel date, as the visa is valid for 90 days from the issue date. Processing can take between 2 to 15 days depending on the embassy.

Is travel Insurance coverage now mandatory to enter thailand? Or only recommended?
A tourist visa is valid for 90 days from the day the embassy issues it. So use that timing in deciding when to apply. It generally takes between 2-15 days for your application to be processed depending on the embassy.
You must enter Thailand before midnight on the "use by" date on the visa.
the visa must be used within 90 days from the day it's issued. But even if you enter Thailand on day 90, you get stamped in for the full 60 days that a tourist visa entitles you to.
