TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, it is possible for a teacher from the EU on a visa waiver stamp to apply for a NON-B visa without leaving Thailand, provided certain conditions are met. Key factors include having sufficient days left on the current entry stamp, the employer's ability to prepare necessary documents on time, and the local immigration office's policies allowing for conversion of the visa type. It is advisable to consult the employer and the local immigration office for specific documentation requirements.
if your local Immigration Office can not make this conversion, then you have to go abroad to visit a Thai Consulate and apply there for a Non Immigrant B visa. Check their website for the documents needed or ask your school to contact them to be sure.
First you visit with an employee from the school the MInistry of Labor and ask the hand out with the requirements for the Work Permit. Then you visit your local Immigration Office and ask if it is possible to convert your entry stamp into the Non Immigrant B Visa, if yes than you ask the hand out with requirements. Go back to the school get all requirements done apply for the Work Permit and than for the Non Immigrant B visa. Relax until you have the visa stamped inside your passport and the Work Permit in your pocket then you start working.
ask your employer. if they don't know, best is ask to your local immigration office (they might give you handout) since all immigration offices requirements are slightly differ
