one day i Bangkok

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Don't waste any time sightseeing, get laid 3-4 times.

Lets pretend one day is all the time you have and you don't have a penis. Sorry to be needy.

Definitely enjoy the street food.
Take a boat across the river to Wat Arun.
Take a boat back, then walk down Khao San road and take photos of backpackers.
Skytrain back to the airport.
Buy more street food outside the airport.

if money does not matter:

arrive early morning at airport, RR service to Oriental Bangkok and enjoy breafast buffet
private city tour including temples, markets, street food, shopping
hang out the afternoon at the pool with some umbrella drinks
have a nice massage before a dinner cruise on the Chao Praya river
enjoy BKK nightlife (without a penis), BKK serves all tastes
work is for people who cant find truffles

Go to Wat Traimit by tuktuk and visit
Walk around Chinatown a bit.
End up at a river water "taxi" pier
Take a boat to Tah Tien pier.
Visit Wat Bo.
Walk to Sanam Chai MRT.
Return to base.
In the evening, see a movie at Central World cinema, buy First Class tickets (includes plenty of canapes and v. good seats).

If staying overnight, get a high room at the Bayoke Sky, includes a free pass to the 84th floor revolving observation deck. Book on their website, cheaper than the OTAs. Avoid breakfast if you don't enjoy crowds.

Probably go shopping for a prosthetic phallus to ease the trauma of the missing appendage

Good suggestions so far. Since it's just one-two days I want to stay in the center of good stuff. Not a big city person which is why I'm asking.

Being serious, there's some great museums in Bangkok, I'd probably check a few of those, maybe fit in one or two of the more quirky malls, a park and a wander around Chinatown for food and nighttime pictures
