Stuart,

Don't know if Ideal Motor Sport still rents bikes, but drop them a mail. Owner Steven Lee is a top guy. Website: Welcome to the website of IDEAL MOTOR SPORTS PTE LTD

I lived in Malaysia for 10 years, so if you need any route advice for Malaysia at least, drop me a mail / post.

Enjoy,

Chiang Mai
 

If you're in North Thailand, you can hire Honda Xr250/Ax1 from Joe Bike Team/Mr Dang , respectively, in Chiang Mai.700 Baht per day should cover it.If you're in the South then you can rent big bikes (Suzuki 1200) from an outfit in Khao Lak,a dive centre about 1hr north of Phuket. Good luck!

XR400 solidly reliable and easy to come by.

I used the XR250 and it was plenty for me and likewise built like a tank
I tortured that bike and it never once let me down.

Bike Rental in Chiang Mai
 

We used Mr. Mechanic in Chiang Mai and rented 450 and 650 cc Hondas. Total cost for 11 days of rental was about $250.00 US. They do keep your passport though, which would make a border cross out, but perhaps you could leave a photo copy of your passport and something else for collateral? I'm sure they would work something out with you.
