Hi there. 

Having a Non B visa without workpermit yet and wanting to get a tourist visa in order to get a new job in a new location and so on... Is it possible to get it without leaving the country? Has anyone ever completed the process? Are they more "strict" when you apply here or just as easy as getting it near the border in Lao?

Thanks a lot.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The question discusses the possibility of applying for a tourist visa while currently holding a Non-B visa without a work permit, and whether this can be done from within Thailand or requires leaving the country.

I'd recommend going to the Royal Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh as I found the staff there to be very friendly and outgoing regarding getting the kind of visa you want and PP IS a decent city to hang out in as you await the visa service.

If no, tell them you're going to change company and get the cancelation papers for ur visa, hopefully u can get a 21days.

With that one u can then apply for a new work and get a new non-b with the new company if they're able to do something like that. Done it 2 times allready. Consider calling ur new work and ask them if that is possible
