TLDR : Answer Summary

If you do not use your NON-B visa before its expiration date, it will automatically cancel, and you cannot use it again. However, there are no negative consequences or bans for not using it. You can still apply for a tourist visa to enter Thailand afterwards.

I believe that the Non-B would have to be expired to get a tourist visa from a thai consulate.

You will not be banned or have any negative consequences for not using it.
