TLDR : Answer Summary
The Special Tourist Visa (STV) cannot be converted to another visa type, including non-immigrant visas, even if you enter Thailand with an APEC card. After the validity period of the STV, you must leave Thailand as there are no extensions or conversions available.

APEC card is not flexible. As Michael wrote, cannot change visa type and cannot extend. After 3 months, must leave Thailand

Nope.
