TLDR : Answer Summary

It is possible to convert a tourist visa to a Non-O visa while in Thailand, provided that your wife, who is working as a teacher, meets the necessary requirements and has the support of her employer. You must ensure that there are more than 15/21 days remaining on your tourist visa and confirm specific requirements with the local immigration office, as they may vary depending on the type of school and other factors.

It is possible if your wife, your wife's employer/school, and you meet all requirements for an in-country visa application. And if your local immigration office allows.

Your wife needs to talk to her school if they support your visa procedure, as you need support documents from her employer.

She has to be on 1-year extension when you apply for an in-country visa.

You have to have more than

days remaining with your entry stamp as a tourist to be able to apply for an in-country visa.

There are far more requirements.

While let her talk with her school, go to the local immigration office for THEIR latest and detailed requirements for an application for an in-country Non-O visa based on a spouse to a teacher with a work permit. There might be different lists depending on the type of school (government, private, etc).
