You don't necessarily have to bring a card with you. Three days ago I checked in at WLG for a domestic flight at one of the self check in counters. I just entered my A3 number and it printed my boarding pass with A3*G on it. They let me enter the lounge without asking for the card. I haven't tried that at BKK, but as long as the the BP shows your status, you should be fine(maybe not in ZRH, but Thai people seem nice enough) So you still have a chance to get into the lounge/ board when you want, even if you don't receive your card in time.
But let's hope you get it

But I'd love to hear their reason why I have to show the card, when my status is printed on my BP...

I am Gold since middle of March. Travelled a lot after that date with A3, LX and LH without the card.
A3: No isse at check in, status represented on Boardingpass
LX: Status not on BP; but print out of Account plus Blue card good enough for Lounge and Check-In
LH: Status not on BP (it showed A3, when I was silver it showed A3 S, strange to be 'downgraded'). But after showing print out, check-in agents manually changed status and printed on BP. Lounge, fast track etc no issue.

Yesterday I was in Avianca-Taca flight (Lim-gru) and did the checkin in airport. My status in this moment was *S. After the migration, I saw in Aegean Miles&Bonus webpage that my status was updated to *G. I went to the gate and ask to Avianca-taca staff if my status was changed in Staralliance. My surprise was when the staff told me: "Yes sir, your status was updated here. I will print the new boarding pass and you can wait the flight in our VIP Lounge".
I thinked the status in Staralliance changes in 2, 3 days but was immediatly.
Now, I will wait the Gold Card.

I'm still waiting for my A3 Gold Card pack - hope it hasn't gone astray! I'm assuming the delay is because of Easter etc
Generally I've found that miles post to the account very quickly.

Same here: Finally got the card today (Switzerland). Easter probably delayed the batch this month.
