TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, it is possible to convert a travel visa to a non-B work visa in Thailand without leaving the country, provided that your employer is willing to meet the requirements of the Immigration Office. It's advised to ensure you have at least 15-20 days left on your travel visa and to have your original degree ready.

The key to this process is you need to have at least 15-20 days left on your tourist visa or visa exempt entry and you must have your original degree, not a copy.

You don't need a degree to work in Thailand.

Yes, it is possible. But your employer must be willing to meet the requirements of the Immigration Office and the Immigration Office must be authorized to do this conversion.

Best is to talk to your Employer, when he is willing to do this, let him contact the Immigration Office for the requirements.
