Visit Chiang Mai to the North. The climate is balmy similar to that of Baguio's throughout the year. You can hop on a commuter train to the northern most city of Chang Rai but the trip emanating from BKK is quite long. You can arrange your flight via Thai Airways or Thai Air Asia. Koh Samoi is a fascinating tourist destination in the south. Phuket beckons. Chatuchak Weekend Market is a prime location for cheap buys. Anywhere you go, street food is plentiful just as well as rated restos and ordinary eateries that cater to mass tourist markets. Like Filipinos, malling is a huge past time among the Thais. Jewelry is good investment and Bangkok is world-renowned for its diamond cutting business coming close 2nd to Antwerp in the Netherlands. Enjoy the nite life and the nite markets. You don't have to go far. The tri-areas of Patpong, Suriwong, Silom is just within your reach. Just be wary of the bugaws and the peddlers of meat. The crocodile farm is not too far away from the city center. Chao Phraya cruise is an experience not to be missed. "Sawadee khap .... sabai sabai" as they say in Thai. Enjoy!
