TLDR : Answer Summary

The DTAC submission must be completed within 3 days of your arrival in Thailand, which is related to the arrival date in Thailand, not your departure country's local time. Travelers suggest ensuring that the submission aligns with the date calculations based on Thailand's timezone.

I arrive from Canada on the 22nd, which means the 19th is 3 days,

but at 1pm on the 18th in Canada it is the 19th in Thailand

TDAC not DTAC. The form only lets you use a date that goes 3 days into the future for your arrival date. So you can do that math.
