TLDR : Answer Summary

It is not possible to change a transit e-visa to any other type of visa, such as a tourist visa or a Muay Thai visa, while staying in Thailand. To apply for a tourist visa, you must leave Thailand. The only alternative mentioned was the possibility of obtaining an Education Visa for Muay Thai.

You can't change a transit visa to anything. You need to be on either a tourist visa or a visa exempt entry to change to another visa. You need to leave Thailand to apply for a tourist visa or DTV in any case
