I got my Study visa. Now the only thing is I feel I would like to postpone my trip for a while. Need to take care of some stuff if possible). 

In the application before approval, I had mentioned that I would be there in the next two weeks from now, but now I would prefer to go there after two months. 

Ofcourse I had also mentioned the date of beginning of School course and  my flight dates which are all in the next two weeks. 

Is that going to be fine if I don’t follow those dates and go after two months or it is going to be risky in Thai airport?

Answer summary

After receiving your Study visa, you can postpone your entry into Thailand without issues, as long as you enter before your visa expiration date. However, be aware that if you plan to extend your visa later, doing so might be complicated since it could be linked to the purpose for which the visa was issued.

The only problem you're likely to have would be if you were planning on extending that initial 90 day visa. It's unlikely an extension would be granted given you didn't complete the purpose the visa was issued for

Well even though I had to put a fixed date in the visa application form, the school doesn’t really have a fixed date. Whenever you go there, you begin the class. So i am not missing anything. The only thing is whether immigration understand this explanation or not, hence i am asking here.

Once your visa is issued, you can use it to enter Thailand until the expiration date on the visa

Would there not be a problem if the school starts within 2 weeks, and he don’t attend classes until about 2 months.

I see. So there is no issue.

Well , All I got is an email from thaivisa website that my visa is approved. So I should just nring a copy of this email without any extra documents to Thai airport and they would stamp the visa there in airport?

For a non-immigration visa that should be fine.
