A TIP is certainly required for Thailand as for many other countries. But it is free of charge and whoever quoted you 600 $ for this is a huge scammer and you should avoid him as the plauge!
Thailand is not a Carnet demanding country so even though some travellers have had their Carnets stamped its really not neccesary or required and has no lelegal points to have it stamped.
For the other requrements you mention I have never heard about such requirements. But Thailand is sometimes a very difficult land to deal with when it comes to such things as temporary vehicle import. Maybe better to fly the bike to Malaysia? After all its just a days ride from Kuala Lumpur to the thai border?
There is a dedicated facebookgroup for overland travels for Thailand.
