Answer summary
Yes, it is possible to convert a tourist visa to a Non-O visa within Thailand, provided that certain conditions are met. Your spouse, who is a teacher, and her employer must support the application. Specifically, she needs to be on a one-year extension of her visa, and you must have at least 15 to 21 days remaining on your entry stamp to apply for the Non-O visa. It is advisable for your spouse to discuss support with her school and for you to check the local immigration office for the latest requirements, as these can vary based on the type of school.

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).
