4) Safari World - safari park

8) Go Kanchanaburi - west of Bangkok - bridge over the river kwai/tiger sanctuary
9) Weekend Market

13) Go to Khao Yai National Park - east of Bangkok

Boredom won't be a problem. Finding time to sleep might be.

I have been to Thailand half a dozen times and I was never bored,
I cant say much about Bangkok though, I never spend more than a night each way there.
If your bored in Bangkok, just take a bus, Train from Hua Lam Pong or a flight to some other province, there is no dearth of places to go to and things you could do.
Go there for Songkran or Thai New Year around the 13th of April, its the wildest fun time you would ever have.
You may eventually find that 2 weeks is miserably short.
Have a good stay in Banggkok.
Stay away from the ladies, they are really pretty and smile a lot, but are internally full of pain owing to poverty, ailing parents, being single parents themselves, or having to support HIV+ husbands or other relatives.

I have lived in bangkok for more than 10 years and I still like it....but I am working too. Some people are bored of Bangkok within a few days, others can stay for a long holiday. I have no clue what kind of person you are? Do you like shopping malls, markets? Do you like temples, museums, girls? If you would write more about your plans, I could better answer if you would like to stay here for two weeks.

I agree with all of Nancy's 14 suggestions (having done them all), and would add a trip to BKK's tallest building the Bayoke Tower with it's fantastic views accross the whole of the city, or perhaps a trip to the zoo. I also just enjoy walking around the city for hours at a time, watching a different world go by. I do have the advantage of having a g/f (Thai) who lives there, but I can always find plenty to do on my own if she's busy. Finally, my favourite place to go in the evenings is the Hard Rock Cafe at Siam Square as they have some great bands and the atmosphere is really good.
Whatever you do, just enjoy your stay in the Land of Smiles.

i doubt you will get bored in bangkok - there's just so many things to do. first some popular tourists places like floating market, royal palace, temples and etc are quite a distance from the city so a visit to 1 or 2 places might take up whole day. and i'm sure you will want to revisit jatujak market a few more times for shopping

There is no way in hell you would ever get bored in Bangkok! Just be care full though...you may get the 'Bangkok Bug', the symptoms are: You have a overwhelming urge to go back there every year.

Bangkok can be covered in 2-3days even if you are going to travel to all popular areas. Unless you are a shopping fanatic; even then 4days in surely enough.
Must see places in Bangkok include Chinatown, Temples, MBK [Ma Boon Khrong], WTC, Patpong, Suan Lum night market ETC.
and most definitely, Chatuchak weekend market!
Do travel out to nearby areas such as Ayuttaya [ancient capital of Thailand] & Hua Hin [beautiful beach area with horses by the beach]. I find it more interesting to travel to such places then stay in Bangkok City for 2 weeks.

What precisely would make you bored? I have spent months on this tiny farm in the middle of nowhere, and I'm not bored, so I reckon Bangkok would be a doddle...

Not if dping lots of trips to places like the Rose Gardens or the tiger temple
www.tigertemple.co.uk
or look up temple of the tigers
What will happen is are you do the tourist stuff you explore and see a bit of thai life and stuff like that.
Go around April 13s and its a city wide water fight on their new year.
