Nice plans! There a fb group called bicycle touring which is very inspiring and has a lot of stories and beautiful pictures. I think it's also important to decide if you just want to focus on grinding away miles and getting there or enjoy all the nice places and people along the way and have a good time. My experience is that only cycling every day can be really boring so I like to take it slow. If you like to get some inspiration you can read the books of Frank van Rijn, I believe he wrote one about a trip from the Netherlands to Bali as well. I'm heading to Vietnam in a few weeks to do some touring so if you have any questions about camping gear etc. send me a pm.
