Bangkok is super crowded, trafficky, and polluted. Three or four days is always plenty for me. If you're going to Phuket, and like beaches, I think it's worth spending some time there. I'm not a big fan of any of the Marriott options though. The Ren and LM are probably the best of a fairly weak assortment.
If you are going to spend more time in Bangkok, you might split your time between the river (MO, Pen, Shangri-La) and either Ratchaprasong or Sukhumvit.
