Is it possible to convert a Volunteer non-immigrant O visa to non-immigrant B employment visa without leaving the country? Thanks
Answer summary
It is generally not possible to convert a Volunteer non-immigrant O visa to a non-immigrant B employment visa while remaining in Thailand, as visa type changes are usually required to be processed outside the country. The ability to change a non-immigrant O to a non-immigrant B may also depend on the nature of the employer (whether it's a BOI company) and the passport held by the individual, with some countries restricted from changing their visa status without leaving.

I changed from an extension to stay on a non imm B to an extension to stay non imm O based on being 50 yrs +. But I think you cannot change a visa type only the reason for an extension to stay.
Depends on Passport and company type. If its non BOI company and you hold Passport from countries where the visa need to be changed in their country only (Like China, India, Bangladesh etc..) you can't Change here. If the company is BOI they can change visa to Non B irrespective to passport you hold
