Any suggestions on what he should get and where to get it in Vancouver? He has a pretty small head and wears glasses.

Whats your dad's riding experience? IMO I wouldnt cheap out on a helmet even for short term. Obviously we hope you guys dont get into any accidents but if they were to happen a cheap helmet wont do you any better than a bicycle helmet. My first helmet was a Kaos carbon fiber helmet (Now known as Riot $275), crashed and hit my head doing about 50-60kp/h and got a concussion. Not a fun thing. If your dad isn't experienced the roads in Thailand aren't great and potholes are everywhere. Get good gear.. Plus if you cant keep up with the locals who rip around town, you have a higher chance of getting hit.
