I was more concerned about getting enough rest during the layover and the feasibility of getting to/from the airport in that time. Having to deal with a dodgy taxi driver was an additional something which I did not want to cope with.
I think everyone has overlooked my more important question about a night layover!

Are there places where I could take pictures of bright city lights like in Shinjuku and Times Square? I know there would always be eating places but I don't know where to go!

I normally take a taxi from the taxi rank (can't be bothered to go up stairs to save THB50). I did the calculation and my life was worth GBP9.99 so the limos not worth it. I have to say in the last 3 months I have been back in the region and so travelling through Bangkok fairly frequently about 75% of the time the taxi from the airport does have seat belts.
But I have found taxis around town a real pain to use the meter. The last trip I did I had to argue the whole journey with the guy, even as he drove off he was complaining.

If you speak a little bit of Thai to them they usually just turn the meter on...

IT's spelt a little more like 'Song-Taew' or 'Songthaew' Kyo I ride those around a lot too, you dont have much choice when you get into the countryside. there are really big songtaew truck type things going between the small towns too.My SQ and flying Videos: Youtube My Travel Blog: AussieFlyer.net
