TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can take up to 3 months after getting your DTV approved before entering Thailand. However, this will reduce the time left on your 5-year visa period. The first 180-day period typically starts upon entry into Thailand, not from the date of visa approval.

That's fine. You can enter Thailand anytime and as many times as you want over the next 5 years, until the expiry date

Does your first period of 180 days start from the day the visa is approved or on entry to Thailand?

when you come through thai immigrations they stamp your passport, write DTV, and start your 180 days.

I’m doing remote worker. I have an employment certificate which has my salary and all the details etc on it. But I’m struggling to find a copy of my original employment contract from 8 years ago.

Will employment certificate be ok?

Yes, you just loose 3 months of the 5 year allocated time. Mine was approved early October but I didn’t use it to enter until late November which wasn’t an issue
