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.
