You can withdraw Thai baht and then convert that at the airport.

I only remember such ATMs in the international departure area (many years ago).

And of course not only at the airport.

There must be a special reason for this rush to get USD at arrival.

Arrival from where is the question ? If that important why not get it done before embarking ?

If for some reason you need USD in Thailand, definitely get it before arriving.  You will lose on the exchange rate if you change Thai baht to USD, even at a place with a decent exchange rate like Vasu.

Really depends on where he is now and how he is obtaining the dollars. 

 

If he has baht in a Thai bank that he wants to use to buy dollars once he arrives and he's in India now, for example. that's a different set of circumstances compared to if he's now in the US and can withdraw dollars from his US bank before departing for Thailand.

According to the official website there is an SCB ATM in the transit area in the 4th floor (should be accessible before going through immigration I guess):
