So touristy

@Dir - I was thinking about doing this during my January trip but I'm not very experienced on a bike (no motorcycle license). Would you still recommend?

Yess Cambodia and Vietnam

A1 Thailand has one of the highest road fatality rates in the world. I suggest you don't

id never rode a bike before and chaing mai to doi ithanon roughly 70 miles total. One of the best experiences ive ever had

Don't go to Phuket. Go to some of the smaller islands. Bangkok and Chiang Mai are also great fun. Speaking of Indonesia, I love Bali but it's also become overrun with tourists these days and Jakarta is the very definition of crowded.

Krabi

I love Thailand but didn't like Phuket and the tourist traps. Find remote islands and go, it will be amazing

The road between CM and Pai is well developed, you then ride up a mountain with over 200 turns. Looks like you're entering Jurassic Park. Be smart, practice a bit, the bikes are automatic. It's safe if you practice sensibility
