Obtaining a TIN without permanent address, or outside of the 60 day rule?
Can you get a "Certificate of Residence" from Immigration? If you have filed a TM-30, they should provide it (though every office varies). -

Why do people want to live in Isaan?
The Northeast (Isaan) region of Thailand is generally considered the least agriculturally productive area, due to a combination of factors including less fertile soils, vulnerability to drought, and a higher population density putting pressure on resources. While other regions also face agricultural challenges, Isaan's persistent poverty and reliance on agriculture make it particularly vulnerable. Here's a more detailed look: Infertile Soils: The soils in the Northeast are naturally less fertile than those in other parts of Thailand, making it more challenging to achieve high crop yields. Water Scarcity: The region experiences frequent droughts, which can severely impact agricultural production, especially rain-fed agriculture. Population Pressure: A large population in the Northeast puts a strain on land resources and contributes to deforestation as more land is cleared for agriculture. Poverty: The Northeast is the poorest region in Thailand, and many people rely on agriculture for their livelihoods, making them more susceptible to the effects of poor harvests. Thankfully some have found a weak ATM to boss around. 🙂 -

EU EU ready to hit US with 21-bln-euro tariff list, Italy foreign minister says
Sad how some Brexiters falsify facts and distort reality. Flawed as it is, the EU - UK Withdrawal Agreement at least ensures that there are no tariffs on trade between the EU and the UK. The non-tariff barriers faced by UK exporters and importers - such as the increased bureaucracy, increased difficulty in hiring EU nationals, etc. - are self-imposed and the result of a choice made by Johnson's UK government to remove the UK from the Single Market and the Customs Union. The offer of continued membership of the both was made by the EU but rejected by the UK. The US has applied tariffs on (almost) all of its' trading partners, risking a global slowdown, crisis in the financial markets and a realignment in the world order so bears no resemblance to the EU. Ah, the reappearance of one of the 'hard' Brexiters' favourite mantras: 'It will hurt them more than it hurts us'. Of course, this ignores the fact that the hurt could be avoided completely. -
