I am not sure where you are going in Thailand but here are 27 things to do so that you can have a great time when you are in Bangkok & Central area of Thailand:-
1) Grand Palace
2) Vimanmek Mansion (royal palace)
3) Thai Massage - the traditional massage is called 'Nuat Thai' and there are hundreds of places for this in Bangkok. However, there are also quite a few places that cater for customers wanting something sexier.
4) Safari World - safari park - has shows in the morning (stunt show, dolphin show, etc). Most people watch the shows in the morning and tour the safari park in the afternoon
5) Dreamworld - amusement park (includes snow dome & grown-ups size go-kart track, rollercoasters, etc., nice gardens & elephant rides too)
6) Day trip to a Floating Market - try to find a tour to a floating market that hasn't become over-commercialized (eg. Amphawa floating market)
7) Day trip to Ayutthaya - old capital of Thailand - 50 miles north of Ayutthaya
8) Day trip to Kanchanaburi - west of Bangkok - Bridge Over the River Kwai. In the morning, having paid respects at the war cemetary, take a ride on the Thai-Burma railway (the Death Railway). In the afternoon have a look at Muang Singh (ancient Khmer city)
9) Weekend Market - an institution amongst Bangkokians
10) Suan Lum Night Market (also has a big wheel)
11) National Museum (Bangkok) - treasure house of Thai culture - having some background knowledge of Thai and Khmer art before going is an advantage - read a book before you come and you can enjoy it a lot more
12) Shopping - malls: MBK, Siam Paragon, Central World Plaza (they all have movie theaters too).
13) Shopping - local markets: Pratunarm market, Chinatown - plenty of bargains but some negotiation required
14) Day trip to Khao Yai National Park - east of Bangkok
15) River Cruise on the Chao Phraya River - take a long-tailed boat (as known aa a James Bond boat) to see old Bangkok from the river
16) Dusit Zoo & Tropical Gardens - tigers, bears, etc. - also chiuldrena play park
17) Temples - famous temples include Wat Pho, Wat Arun, Marble Temple, The Temple of the Golden Buddha
18) Go to the show at the Snake Farm - partly education, partly fun-show with audience participation
19) Jim Thompson's House - home of the ex-US military intelligence officer that built up a successful Thai silk business in Thailand in the 60s and then disappeared when in Malaysia
20) Samphran Elephant Show & Crocodile Farm
21) Bang Pa-In Palace - 19th century, blend of Thai & western architecture
22) Day trip to Nakhon Pathom - very old city, pre-Thai - also has a very impressive temple
23) Muang Boran (Ancient City) - reconstructions of the best places in Thailand from the past and present
24) Suan Pakkad Palace - small palace with a famous pavillion from the late-Ayutthaya period (17th,18th century) - good collection of stone/iron-age artifacts as well as
25) Golden Mount - man-made mountain - it seems likely that the idea for making such structures was dervied from the Cambodia pyramid-like structures from the time when the Cambodian empire covered much of what is now Thailand.
26) Muay Thai - Thai boxing - matches every night alternating between the two main stadia in Bangkok.
27) Dinner Cruise on the Chao Phraya River - there are different companies that do this - one has international food/bar/disco, another has Thai traditional food (or a seafood menu for people that can't eat pork/meat) and Thai traditional dancing.

Depends what your into. If you into the fun loving being single and all that just take money and visit the darker side. If you want culture then go visit the wonderous temples and other palaces.

Bring lots of money for alcohol and good-time girls. When you get a massage, remember to ask for a happy ending.
