It's good to have some kind of license in case the police pull you over, which is very common for even the most minor infractions. Although it's recommended that you obtain an International Driver's Permit, you should be fine showing your license from where you live and most of the time discretely slipping the officer some "tea money" can work in lieu of a license and also get you off the hook for any violations you may (or may not) have committed, never argue with the police here whether you're right or not.
If you do rent a motorbike, make a copy of your passport to leave at the shop instead of your real one, also be sure to inspect the bike carefully for any damage and point it out to the rental shop and have them make a note of it, you may very well be blamed for any previous damage. Helmets are required by law, as is having your headlight on during the day and staying to the side of the road except when passing.
