TLDR : Answer Summary
The consensus is that you cannot change a Non B visa to a Non O visa while remaining in Thailand; this change requires leaving the country. Recommendations for reliable agents for visa assistance were sought, though specific agents were not mentioned.

You can’t change non-b to non-o in country you can change reason for extension for your second and subsequent extensions

You can’t change a Non B visa to a Non O visa without leaving the country and re-enter on a visa exemption -if you’re entitled- or a tourist visa from a nearby embassy/consulate.
The process is quite straightforward if you can meet the general requirements and you’ll need at least 15 days left on your current stamp.
I know it’s been done, but the general feedbacks are that it’s very difficult/impossible to switch from one Non immigrant type to another inside the country.
I had a non b for 5 years. I got married during that time period. When I quit working I had immigration convert it to a Non O. Did not have to leave the country. Did it all at the same time in khon kaen
Yes, extension of stay is different. You can’t change a visa type inside the country. (Only from tourist to Non O visa), but you can change the extension of stay based on work to extension of stay based on marriage.
I think it might be some wires crossed here. You didn’t go from 5 years extension of stay based on a Non B to a 90 days Non O visa, but you changed your extension of stay based on Non B to extension of stay based on marriage, witch normally starts with a 90 days Non O visa, but since you already was on an extension of Stay based on Non B you just changed the reason of your extension at one point to an extension based on marriage. You didn’t get a whole new Non O visa first.
