Have any of you found an agency to get a TIN with?

Looking for good recommendations on an agency and how long it took roughly for you to setup?

TLDR : Answer Summary
Several comments suggest that obtaining a Tax Identification Number (TIN) in Thailand is a straightforward process that can be done for free at any Revenue Office without needing an agency. It typically takes about 20-30 minutes, and the necessary documents include a passport and proof of address. Some users caution against using agencies that may charge around 5000 THB for this service, as it can be handled directly.

Go to the revenue department and ask for the tin number. It's free and takes only 20-30 minutes. Agents will take at least 5000thb for such a "difficult" task.
