Many of us on the forum like to & do ride, but it's pretty hard to answer you on what & where to ride when we don't know you or what you like to ride or where.
BTW is it a scooter, or a M-X or a sport bike or big cruiser / chopper or a dual purpose adventure machine? Do you go slow, fast or cruise around??
I usually hang out in the Kafe - late breakfast 11AM+, & evenings after 9.30PM.
Swing by & ask if David has been in, but I will be away up North the next 3 - 4 days.
Backdoorphil is also looking for people to ride with.
Also if you have the time, work your way through New Users section on the forum
welcome-important-read-this-first-t555.html
and them some of the trip reports
There's more than enough info on GT Rider to give any man or woman the courage to get on a bike to ride North Thailand / Laos, alone or with a riding partner.
Simply rent a bike & start riding, contribute some trip reports & you will soon make new biking mates.
If you like to watch F1 & MotoGP visit
Bungy's X-Centre in Mae Rim,
or
Schackster's Euro Diner on Ratchawithi Rd
Thursday night there's a group of guys who meet to drink & talk bikes at the Number One Bar on Loi Kroa, but they don't post much on here.
I hope this is a help getting you started.
