nope, sorry there are 70+ immigration offices in the country and they are all run like their own kingdom. :(
I'd certainly talk to your university FIRST before you talk to the immigration office (unless you're gonna be speaking thai with them). AND
talk to your employer about getting the documents that you need to cancel your extension based on employment (you can't just let it run out)
Don't forget you need to cancel your work permit before you go cancel your extension.
It's gonna take coordination from your soon to be former employer, your university and the immigration office to be able to cancel the extension based on employment and apply for a new one based on education.
Good Luck with it, (y)
