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.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be tdac.in.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

It’s an Arrival document so it’s within 3 days of arriving in Thailand

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.
