At least for AY 144 the check-in desks in BKK open T-4 hours.
In BKK there are also self-service check-in machines that print AY boarding passes and luggage tags. I haven't travelled hand baggage only from BKK so I can't tell if the boarding pass from the machine would be enough. The check-in desk issues a new BP (with the same information) and they also give you a hand-written invitation to the Miracle lounge. Well, you don't need the invitation if you're going to use OW lounges instead.
