It’s normal that the embassy proces touristvisa by departure dato, and will answer 1-2 weeks before departure, to the benefit of the tourist.

They will always issue the touristvisa, depending on the the departure date, to advantage for the tourist.
Applying long time before the departuredate, will result in long waiting time to get the touristvisa.
“Tourist Visa – A single-entry visa must be used to enter Thailand within 3 months from the date of issue.- A multiple-entry visa must be used to enter Thailand within 6 months from the date of issue.”

Only the Thai embassy processing your application can answer that question. You would need to contact them to check the status. Make sure you check your junk email filter as if there were any issues or questions about your application they would send you an email.
