What a great idea!
Even if you get no takers you'll still have a blast doing it on your own. I backpacked around there in my early twenties and the bits I did on my own I always met people and sometimes did a stretch of travelling with someone met along the way.
If I were 15 years younger I'd come with you!
Best of luck. Update the thread as you go, I'm sure it will inspire others.

Anyone fancy a Thai cycle tour in December?
I'm thinking I could do it alone, but company would make it logistically easier and hopefully more enjoyable. My plan is to ride from Bangkok down to Phuket (or somewhere down there) between . Or maybe from Chiang Mai all the way down. Taking trains over hilly/busy areas or just to have a day off and cover the distance. Then for the last week (27th Dec-3rd Jan) I'll meet a friend from Japan and just relax before getting the train back to Bangkok or flying out from Phuket if I can find an affordable flight.
Although that schedule is flexible and dependent on flight prices. I basically have to take the standard two weeks at Christmas and I can add 1-2 weeks on top of that either side, but I'd like to be over there 27th Dec - 3rd January).
If that sounds like fun and you might be interesting in joining for some or all of it, send me a PM and we can discuss.
