appleegg,
The fee is US$100, which used to be 4,000 baht but the baht has been pretty strong for a while now so the baht equivalent may have been adjusted. (It's adjusted by the consulate only periodically - doesn't vary daily like the exchange rate at a bank.) But plan on roughly $100.
You can pay the day before the interview - as long as it's a day that the post offices are open. Someone got caught by that a while back, didn't realize a Thai holiday or something that closed the POs the day before his fiancee's interview. I'd suggest paying a week in advance to allow for the unexpected, being careful to not lose the receipt.

appleegg,
There will be a special station in the PO that will handle this, don't know if it will necessarily be labeled in English. But yes, at a PO where US visa fees are frequently processed, someone will be able to direct you to the right station and the person there will know what to do.
If I wasn't clear in my previous post, I believe that you have to pay in baht so be sure to exchange sufficient dollars at a bank or money changer.
