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.
What day of the week? I only ask as it affects traffic considerations and some markets, for example Rot Fai Talad (behind Seacon Square on Srinakrain Road), is only open on weekends.
What kind of markets gets your wife's freak on?

Seacon Square, (a massive mall) does have a version of both Khlong Thom (electronics) and Pratunam (clothing) markets.
Just a Km south is Paradise Park, which is a mall, but has a very extensive food court/market in the basement.
If you choose to stay at one of the budget places north of the airport, there is a mall, Paseo, on Lat Krabang Road which has a night market, some days. And I have seen some markets, out of the corner of my eye, driving on Lat Krabang Road.
