Can my tourist visa be converted to a non-imm B at suan plu immigration when my government university gets me my work permit?

Can my university get my work permit if I come in on a tourist visa?

In the past I've always gone through the trouble and expense of gettting my non-im 'O' visa here in the US before leaving. Last year I worked for the same uni and immigration converted it to non-im 'B' along with getting the work permit.

I don't want to arrive in BKK and find I have to go to outside the country to get a B visa in order to get the work permit.

The B27,000 CMU is paying works out to B19,000 + B8000 for living allowance. This is the standard pay for all gov't universities. 12-15 contact hours (classroom teaching) per week is also the standard. Yes, the pay is low but remember the 3 months of summer where you don't teach at all (but still have to show up at the office and sign in). If they like you, you may be offered extra, special teaching gigs that usually pay B1000-1500/hr.

Anybody know anyone living and teaching in Chanthaburi who could give me some advice on finding a teaching position there? I've been teaching at a gov't university in BKK for a few years and looking for a (quiet) change. Looking for a contact at the Rajabhat, Burapha, Technical College or what have you to get some more info. Thanks.
