Here's a simple shortcut to exploring more of your environment when you've got a week or 4 to spare, and you're even thinking that you might stop the backpacking thing through Thailand and just live somewhere for a while to get a taste of what Thailand is precisely about.
In a nutshell then, probably the best way to eye is by getting yourself a small bike (110-150cc). But should you buy or should you rent? Well, it all depends on you and what you are planning to do. Sometimes renting works out well and other times, buying is the way to go.
Go To Thailand
Often westerners who are new to a Thai town will rent a small bike for the first month or so. Renting a zippy wee motor like this will cost you about Us or so a month, and it costs about to fill your tank with gas (benzine). Renting allows you to explore, get a feel for the Thai traffic (!), and check out places to live if that's your agenda.
On the other hand, if you eye you love Thailand way too much and there's no way in the world you'll ever leave, then buying a snappy wee motor is probably a good call. To buy one of these motos you'd need about Us0 or so, depending on the model you choose, and the cost method.
Go To Thailand
Fortunately, and especially if you've got a Thai friend to help you, you can organize to pay off your bike on a per month basis. In this case you'd put some dollars down (say about 0) and then every month pay about or so to the bike shop you acquired your bike from.
Either way, it's an easy process. You'll need your passport and some sort of proof of who you are etc. You'll also need to wear a helmet nearby and to carry a license of some sort. Once that's all sorted, you're ready to roll!
