The best time to thin is after fruit set when the little peaches are about the girth of your pinkie and very fuzzy. There is a 10ish day period when they just fall off by rubbing your hand up and down the branch. Before or after that you'll have to pull them one by one.
In general a single peach every 6-8 in apart on the branch is a good load. They want to set way more than they can sustain.
