I totally discount what you have been told by Nong Khai Immigrations. I believe you're having a "lost in translation" moment with them
You CANNOT change a Non-O-A visa type to a Non-O visa type inside the country. :/
You CAN get a yearly extension from one OR the other at the immigration office, but there is no way to change the original visa that you're getting the yearly extension from an O-A to an O. :/
