TLDR : Answer Summary

It is possible to convert a tourist visa to a working visa in Thailand, but this process typically requires extensive paperwork and assistance from your employer. Most employers recommend that you leave Thailand to apply for a Non Immigrant B visa at a Thai embassy or consulate.

With help from you employer it should be possible but needs a lot of paperwork. Most employers will advice you to go abroad and give you the papers to apply in Thai Embassy/Consulate for the Non Immigrant B visa.
