Normally when you enter Thailand with a foreign vehicle you will get a 30 days temporary import paper. This allows you to keep your bike in the country for 30 days. This temporary import can be extended at a customs office for another 30 days up to 180 days. This means you have to pay a visit to a customs office every 30 days. And thus you cannot leave the bike in the country for 6-12 months.
Just recently I heard that a few persons have been able to obtain a 180 days temporary import paper at border crossings coming from Cambodia. And if one have such a paper you can of course leave your bike for up to 180 days.
But I would not count on that this is a possibility, I would rather call this a very rare exception from the 30 day rule.
The best option as I see it is to leave/store your bike in Cambodia as that country doesnt have any kind of temporary import paper nor is it a Carnet country. They simply doesnt register your vehicle at all when you cross a border into that country. So it should be possible to leave a bike there for a while without any problems.
