Most insurances don't cover motorbike injuries.
Before you even consider driving a bike in Bangkok, you must be aware of several things.
1. The police will hit you up for a fine everytime you come to a police stop so you have to learn to avoid them in general.
2. Biking is dangerous. If you must ride longer than ten minutes, don't use a bike.
3. Rain and bikes are crazy dangerous. It rains alot in Bangkok.
If you decide to get a bike, I have had one for ten years and have had three accidents. One I hit something with leg, my knee wasn't quite the same for awhile. Two, a car hit me as I was going on the road, then it drove off--I scraped my knee and arms. Three, a car hit me while I was at a stoplight. Each time, it was pretty random, but it was a revelation. I try to never bike longer than ten minutes.
It took me a legitimate three months to get decent with my bike, so if you do use a bike, use it after practicing on the side for three months.
DON"T USE MANUAL. it's just too hard along with the driving
GET A SMALL BIKE. Anything in the 110 cc range is fine--your bike is small you can weave through traffic. I once had a 150 cc PCX--so large, hard to turn, and it had a restrictor plate preventing me from going too fast.
If you have a kid, I would just avoid it.
