TLDR : Answer Summary

Obtaining a Tax Identification Number (TIN) in Thailand is a straightforward process that can be done for free at any Revenue Office, where you will need your passport and proof of address. The process typically takes about 20-30 minutes. Several commenters recommend against using an agency, as they often charge around 5000 THB for a service that is much simpler to perform on your own.

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.
