Will be arriving about 8pm and heading to KBV about 13 hours later, are there any hotels with decent night markets close to them?
Not quite sure if myself and the wife will even want to go out as i will be on the tail end of a full days work then ADL-MEL-SIN-SGN-BKK marathon, but she is a big market freak.
This sticky might have some helpful tips:

If you leave, be sure to have enough baht (cash) to pay the departure tax that may or may not be assessed when you re-enter the airport (enforcement is inconsistent).
Also, not a market, but Seacon Square is a typical Asian mega mall, very close to the airport. Might be a reasonable alternative for such a short layover.
Please post back and let us know what you end up doing.
