ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around whether an individual can change from a DTV visa to a Non-O visa during the 5 year DTV period. According to the comments, it is generally not possible to change the type of visa directly in Thailand without cancellation, as one would need to request the embassy to cancel the current DTV visa. However, there is mention that all visas can be changed for a fee. It's advised to consider that the DTV visa allows for year-long stays without needing to switch to a different visa.
