Transport
Many airlines fly to Bangkok directly or via a stopover You can find cheap flights at

The cheapest way to get around Bangkok is to use public transport, preferably the Metro (MRT) or the Skytrain (BTS) to avoid traffic jams.
Of course you can also take a taxi, but make sure that the taximeter is switched on.
TukTuks are also typical for Bangkok, but unfortunately the prices are too high here too. You negotiate the price with the driver before you start your journey. As a guide, I recommend the GRAB app, so you have a clue for the price and you can also use it to order a driver.
Hotel
In Bangkok you can find really great hotels at very reasonable prices. It is best to look for one with good public transport connections.
I can recommend the Ibis Styles Sukhumvit and the Quarter Ari by UHG Both have great rooftop pools and the BTS station is only 5 minutes away.

Chinatown as you imagine it takes place around Yaowarat Road. Between the colorful streets you can try the best street food. Especially if you are still afraid of contact with street food, I can recommend the tour with GetyourGuide, so you get an impression of what you can try without any problems.

To escape the hectic city, discover the green highlight of the city. And if you walk a bit carefully through the park, you have the chance to see wild monitor lizards
