I'm only going to be in Bangkok for a few days, and would like to maximize my time there.  Could you recommend the BEST clubs, restaurants and hang-out places you know?  It doesn't matter if it's for foreigners or Thai people, in general, because I can generally get by (my Thai is not TOO bad).   Price is not an obstacle either. :)Thanks in advance!

Too many to mention. Stick to Silom and Sukhumvit thats where most of nice places either bars, clubs and attract many people most nights, like ones in Sukhumvit 11 for same old craps (for me) Bed, Q-bar, Twister?

For the best restaurants hmmm. Stick to the river side. Many nice restaurants with the lovely view at night. Dinner on the river cruise can be an option.

If ur here first time, then dont forget to go up to Sky bar on state tower as you can enjoy the breaktaking view of BKK but u have to fight with many other tourists to get the view though! 360 degree in Hilton is also lovely with some nice jazz music and the view of river at night time or Moon bar in Baiyan tree hotel is less crowded and not touristic and music is much better than sky bar...

Dont forget to try Curve and Coloc on Ekkamai (Sukhumvit 63) ^^ havev a good time!!
