ORIGINAL POSTER

Dear experts!

Would you please help me to clarify this question.

My work permit expires at 10 of July. I want to work in other company, so I'll apply for a new work permit with new employer. 

What happens with my 3 months NON-B visa in that case? 

If I change the workplace and make a new work permit, does my visa still valid?

Thank you!

TLDR : Answer Summary

If you change your workplace and apply for a new work permit with a different employer, your 90-day NON-B visa will become invalid because it is company-specific. You would need to leave Thailand and obtain a new single-entry NON-B visa. Additionally, it's important to note that a work permit allows you to work but does not grant you the right to stay in the country; that is determined by your visa.

a work permit doesn't let you stay in thailand it lets you work here. The visa or an extension lets you stay here.

IF you're on the initial 90 days of a Non-B visa you can stay until the stamp runs out

BUT

If you're on an extension of stay (from the immigration office) you need to go cancel your work permit, and then cancel your extension and leave the country.

notice I said you can stay in thailand until the stamp runs out, you CAN'T work in thailand for anyone other than the company that sponsored you to get the visa.

You'd have to go get a new Non-B for that

yep, IF you're on the entry stamp of the Non-B visa you can stay until that 90 day stamp you got runs out.

nope, your 90 day Non-B visa is company specific and you'd need to go out of the country and get a NEW single entry 90 day Non-B visa.
