If you only plan to ride 6 weeks in Thailand - I would have rented a bike there. Or even bought a bike there. Heaps of great bikes for rent and for sale there.

This seems to be an offical Thai Government website detailing the details regulations. My quick reading is that :
Guides are necessary
Thai insurance is necessary
Max 30 days per visit and max 60 days per year.

It’s possible that Thai gov websites are well out of date though.
I’d previously ridden Singapore registered motorcycles all over Thailand south of Bangkok (via Malaysia). So had no idea about these requirements and was on the verge of a trip there with an Australian registered bike and assumed I would just breeze in and out so long as my tourist visa was kept valid by extension or a border run.
