Rotty Facebook messaged me to warn me about this about 10 minutes after I nearly did it - extremely easy mistake to make!
I've lost cards twice like this
I lived in Bangkok for 5 years this was my favorite restaurant

Use the skytrain and subway, cheap, modern and safe, cabs are cheap but hail one down dont get it one that just sitting around as they will quote you a price and rip you off, always ask for them to use the meter if they say no get another one, there are hundreds.
Get a tuk tuk, its an essential thai experience, agree a price from point to point for a short journey and enjoy ride.
As someone already suggested go to Chatuchak weekend market, its at the end of the one of the skytrain routes, its amazing, they sell everything you could image, chinatown is also a must.
Jan is a very good time to go, relax and have a good time, if you get any hassle and dont want to do something just say no and walk away.
have fun.

Remember if a taxi driver asks to take you to his friends suit shop say yes! The taxi driver is just being friendly and would simply like to introduce you to his friends as is Thai tradition. The bonus is you get a new suit! I mean who doesn't like a new suit?
will look into that place, I am there late Jan
I can remember it being 14.5p a pint in Prague in 2003. Those days are long gone though.
Cant find anywhere under a quid nowadays

Unless you are a party animal, I personally wouldn't stay on/near Khaosan road.
There's plenty of nice hotels which have good transport links. Being near the skytrain is a better option IMO.

This will be pad thai and a coke at an outdoor pop up restaurant with plastic furniture!!! Any sort of actual restaurant is at double this. Especially as the cheapest you'll find a beer for is 50 baht these days!
Night markets
Go and see some thai boxing at the Rajadamnern Stadium.
Motorcycle taxi around the city with no helmet on.
Cooking classes.
Imax cinema in the Paragon.
Segway city tour.
Star gaze in the empty park and realise it's empty because there's millions of cockroaches around. Get used to the crunching sound under your feet.

Cheap booze, good for us tourists. Not so good for the locals who want to make a living off you though
Bia hoi corner, about 20-30p a beer
Not the best tasting beer, but great food and beer for less than what it'd cost for a pint at home.
