Kao san is good but very touristy. Hit there and explore the side streets for interesting bars and eats.
This place is really good for grub. Its expensive (for bangkok) but well worth it, was over there a few years ago and went here twice with my gf. Highly recommend it!
http://www.coca.com/mangotree/Avoid pat pong area, we stayed near there and its very seedy (unless you like that kind of thing!)
Shopping is good at the MBK, its a giant shopping centre spread over 7 or 8 floors with cinemas and bars and restaurants and arcade, worth a visit just to see it, the outsiide is really cool.
Do toursty things, go see the reclining buddha and the temples and the floating flower market earlly on saturday mornings.
And drink Mekhong Whisky and sprite, its delicious, although don't drink too much. Drank waay to much of it on a beach, got up to go to the loo and fell face first onto our table and tried to go asleep. Don't remember too much about how I got home that night...
