Your FAANG job probably wouldn't allow you to work from Iceland anyway.

Still the requirements are less strict than Thailand's remote work visa [0] but that lasts for 5 years renewable for another 5.

In Thailand's case the existence of a work-from-Thailand visa also clarifies that working remotely on other visas (Tourist, Non-O, Non-B) is not permitted.
