Agree. Much to see and do in Bangkok. Go to a kickboxing fight for example. See the emerald buddha. Have a traditional ( or not so traditional) Thai massage. Tour the Chao Praya on a long tail boat. Or have dinner on a converted rice barge as it cruises by the Royal Palace at sunset. Go on a Patpong bar crawl. The riverside Shangri-la does incredible Thai BBQ's most evenings. Have drinks on the terrace at the Oriental. Have drinks at the Voodoo Lounge. Check out the large outdoor morning market. You can eat Thai royal cuisine at several popular restaurants. Try a "no hands restaurant" where young Thai girls feed you. See if you can find a local to take you to The Abbey. Chek out the antique market in the Riverside shopping centre. Ride an elephant etc etc.
Bangkok is its own little universe. The size and scale of the city is daunting at first. But if you settle into a comfortable hotel and explore it slowly, it will reward you. It is one of the very most interesting cities on this earth IMO.
