TLDR : Answer Summary

You may not need to leave Thailand to transition from an Education visa to a Work Permit, provided you have the right documents. It's reported that if you are on an Education extension, you can get necessary documents from your school, go to immigration to cancel your education extension, and then apply for a Work visa.

It's only maybe possible if you're on an Education extension. You would get documents from your school, take them to immigration to cancel your education extension, and then apply for work visa.
