Do not fear the bum gun. Embrace it. But wash your hands afterwards.

If you have the cash, I would recommend splitting your trip up a bit and heading to Chiang Mai or Phuket / surrounding islands. I have no idea how a 14 year old will stay entertained for 10 days in Bangkok proper.

The weirdest thing is seeing a family march down Soi Cowboy or Walking Street in Pattaya.

But I imagine a 14 year old stays entertained in Bangkok much the same way a 14 year old stays entertained anywhere else: hanging out at the pool, reading, playing video games.

If you negotiate a price on the taxi you are overpaying 100% of the time.

It's been like that for many years, and it is now up to 220 Baht. I don't really care, I just withdraw 9-10k Baht every time I visit the ATM and see it as part of the expense of traveling.

Not much to do about it as a tourist, as far as I know. If you pay by credit card in shops you're likely to just foot the ~3% CC charge yourself, as far as I know.

Depends on the card. My dad doesn't have to pay any surcharges or conversion fees on his. Some places will have a charge as part of the cost if you use a card, but that's done at point of sale.
