First time in Bangkok
Good afternoon. We fly in November 2013 to Bangkok. In general, we will be in Thailand 1 time, so we don’t know anything at all. I fly by myself without travel agencies. Please advise on choosing a hotel, if anyone knows how it is with a taxi from the airport and some things specific to this country (I mean, for example, Egypt, cut the price by a third :)
Thanks in advance to those in the know!

The specificity of Thailand is super-cheap food and affordable sex.

Will you be in Bangkok all the time in Thailand? November 2013 is still almost a year away... Read the reviews around the country, and it will be possible to ask more specific questions. What's the budget? (hotels 5-5000 USD / night), duration of the trip?

Duration 13 days. So far I've only taken the flight. I'm trying to deal with the country. As for sex - I'm afraid my husband was unlucky, and not so free in his views, so he'll have to do without exotic :) I think the budget on the spot is about 3-4000
That managed to understand that it is better to travel a lot. But the beach and lie down for 5 days are definitely needed

Our friends stirred us up, they said it looks great and everything is super cheap, although I don’t really believe in this.

You have a very general question. Thailand - the topic is too extensive, not without reason in most travel forums it ranks first in terms of the volume of discussions.
You should first decide what you want - to watch, relax, have fun, etc. Depending on this, develop a route taking into account seasonality in different regions of Thailand. After that, you can advise you on hotels, beaches, attractions.
Super cheap there local food and fruits. You can find decent housing for cheap. Cheap transport (except islands). 3-4 thousand excluding air - this is a very good budget for Thailand for 13 days, and there will be enough for decent hotels, and for excursions and shopping will remain.

Taxi from a / p to Bangkok is not expensive, to the center of 10-15 dollars. It is better to take it through a centralized rack at the exit. Young ladies are sitting there, you call them a hotel or a place, you can show them on a piece of paper in English, they tell you the cost and invite a taxi driver, they hand him a piece of paper in Thai and also voice the cost of the trip. This is the case when it is convenient to take a fixed price right away, since inexperienced tourists from the airport can be rolled around the counter in circles. In the city itself, immediately after "hello" say "taxi-meter" to the taxi driver and go according to the meter, it's more profitable than by agreement. Taxi in Bangkok is cheap, trips around the city are within 10 dollars, and more often - 3-4. I want to warn against traveling in Bangkok by tuk-tuks, many pioneers want to ride such exotics right away, but this is very unpleasant - prices for foreigners will not be cheaper than taxis, and heat, exhaust fumes, smog and burning will spoil all the fun (and taxis are all comfortable and air-conditioned).

There is also a convenient underground metro network, which helps a lot when there are traffic jams in the city. And there are often traffic jams. Once we were very late to the airport due to the impossibility of driving through the city, so the next time we took a hotel near the sky train station, the train of which goes directly to the airport building. There are river buses. In general, transport for every taste :)

BKK is an ordinary large city in which all the infrastructure is quite normally developed, but it seems to me that for a tourist 3-4 full days is quite a normal time to climb almost all the sights and wander through supermarkets, then it will already be ordinary urban everyday life in an Asian city .
You really still have plenty of time before the trip, read the reports, understand what you want to get from the trip and formulate clearer questions. It is very difficult to advise something without understanding what you want and what quality of rest you are ready for.

We rested at the Prince palace hotel, the location and comfort of the norms.
Directly from the airport, the metro runs, you can save a lot on taxis.
1) If you need to go somewhere, catch a tuk-tuk not near the hotel / it will be cheaper. Bangkok tuk tuk drivers are like Arabs in Egypt, do not rush to agree to their price offer even when they give a discount. A walk along the canals of Bangkok costs about 500 baht per person from the locals.
2) In sky bike after 20:30 50% discount for dinner.
3) A tuk-tuk can go to all the sights for 10 baht per hour, provided that you stop by several shops to look at the goods. But it would be better to take a tour somewhere, so I think it will be more interesting.
4) Excursions can be taken at Tourist Information, tuk-tuks will be happy to take you there for free
5) In tourist information, prices are often cheaper than if you take it on the spot. In any case, to the water park and the oceanarium.
6) If you go to Siam Park by taxi, the meter will cost about 400 baht one way (45 minutes). Or 7 baht per person on the bus, but 2.5 hours from the center
