Thank you
Answer summary
It is not permitted to change from a Non O-A extension to a Non-O visa while remaining within Thailand. To switch, individuals must exit Thailand and reapply for the Non-O visa either from their home country or by entering Thailand on a tourist visa first.

No you have to leave and start over which means they’ll want the 800k in your bank account

No, you cannot. You have to leave Thailand without a re-entry permit and start the process all over from scratch again. Either getting an initial Non-O visa at the embassy outside Thailand or entering Thailand on tourist status to apply for an initial Non-O at the local immigration office.
