The last tuk-tuk I took promised me a 20 Baht ride to a temple; he said there was a campaign today because of a holiday that gave all tuk-tuk drivers free gasoline. Why would you even get in this Tuk Tuk in the first place? This is like, the number one red flag when it comes to Tuk Tuks in Bangkok. Also, never let them take you to a restaurant because they'll take you somewhere with ridiculously jacked-up prices and mediocre food that exists only as a way to scam tourists. If they do anything other than quote you a price, just don't get in one. Better, as Pilsner said, to just not bother at all and take the BTS / taxis. Don't be intimidated by the BTS, it's simple, cheap, and efficient. Taxis will sometimes try to get away with overcharging you by not turning on the meter. When you get in one, say 'Meter Kap' - if the driver tries to stall, talk you out of it, anything other than immediately switch on the meter, just get out and wait for the next one.

Sukhumvit is a very big and varied place, and most of it is perfectly fine for families with kids. Even the seedier parts like Nana and Soi Cowboy aren't really in your face unless you specifically choose to go down there. You're also not going to get thrown in jail for trying to talk politics, but you'll probably find that most people just don't want to.
