Bangkok 1.

So we had two nights and one day in Bangkok. We decided not to stay too long as we figured we would be in and out a few times. We spent far too much money on our hotel but I do not care!
we went to the weekend market on the Saturday and spent most of the day wandering about and trying some of the food. It was lovely and well worth a visit.

We then tried to go to the grand palace on a tuk-tuk. This proved difficult as the tuk-tuk drivers always want to bring tourists to the places that they are linked to. So we gave up and wandered about Chinatown instead.
We had a couple of Sang Som Buckets on Th Khao San with a few people we met, Kit, Stephanie and Caitlin.
We got the bus and Ferry to Ko Chiang the next day.
I think everyone we know would like Bangkok, if only for the shopping. However, it seems quite difficult to get around as it is so vast. I am looking forward to seeing more of it.

Can I just suggest, try the water bus or taxi or whatever they call it. It has very regular departures, is cheap and offers fab people watching. It can get you to a few interesting places. Your book should have a section on it.
