Does it get cool at night...to the point that I may need a light jacket?
Will long pants (jeans) be too hot to wear during the day?
Should I pack light and buy clothes when I arrive in BKK?

My opinion is that it does not get cold enough to warrent a jacket, unless you are a person that get's cold easily. The only reason you might need the jacket is because it's raining.
Long pants should be fine during the daytime and night time. Just bring cloths that you would wear in a tropical environment.
As for buying cloths in BKK. Not sure what size you are, but "if" you are on the large side, then many thai cloths will not fit you. I am not large by any means, but many of the xl shirts in the stores or even other streets tend to be too tight, especially after they have been washed. Not sure what kind of fabric they use there!! ha ha ha!!

Thanks ABC.
As an asian and not a farang (I assume that farang means caucasian), do you feel that the locals, i.e. BGs and mamasans, treat you differently? Do they prefer westerners or really depends?

mm3,
They prefer money/baht/cash/even credit cards.
If you "share" your money with them they will prefer you ..... unless you are a really fat, bald and ugly German guy.
Bangcock.

mm3, the cool season in Thailand is the next couple of months or so. If that is when you are travelling then you are in good shape. The answer on how cool it will get is sort of "it depends". In the south, not too cool at all. In BKK, cool in the evening, warm days but not too humid. They set up a lot of places to sit around, have a beer and listen to live music, particularly in front of the World Trade Center, but I don't ever recall wearing anything but maybe long sleeves. In the north it may get even a chilly at night, so if you are going up to the northern provinces then a jacket might not be a bad idea.
Long pants are always fine, in fact somewhat preferred by the locals, and required in temples and the like. Dressing nicely is a good way to get respect in LOS.

Most has already been covered, but ...
No need for a jacket unless you are "kee nao" (get cold easily). You should bring long pants, but make sure they are thin and light; you want something that is airy to keep you cool (and avoid crotch rot) and will dry out easily if they get caught in a downpour. So avoid jeans, if possible.
Having laundry done is very cheap compared to most places, so you don't need to bring a whole lot of clothes. If the weather or your needs change, you'll be able to buy just about anything you need in Bangkok and it gives you a chance to chat up the sales girls  . I usually buy several new nice shirts and t-shirts on each trip, so I don't bring many with me.

To answer your other question: "do you feel that the locals, i.e. BGs and mamasans, treat you differently? Do they prefer westerners or really depends?"
I will say that the group I run in is made up of mostly ABC's and one ABK.
None of us have ever had any problems with any mamasan/papasan/manager. We've never been charged the surcharge or been denied access into any clubs. Okay. The Japanese only ones might have been a problem, but I don't know. None of us ever went to one of those clubs. ha ha ha ha ha!!!
In fact, I will go out on a ledge and say that we might get better treatment at times because we are viewed upon .... in my opinion as having the two worlds. We are asian, yet have the western type attitude.
This also applies to the females. I am going to stereotype and generalize about some asians. It seems like the Non-western ones do not treat the females that well. What I mean by well is that they don't tip very well, are not gentlemen, and basically have that attitude of the female is here to please the man so get on with it. That's what I've been told by the ladies. So .. when they meet us and we are not that way they tend to be drawn to that fact that we look asian, but are not like the typical asian guy that they are used to. I hope that makes sense??
So .. the long of it is to say that as long as your treat them with respect and act like a gentleman you will have no problems. Not that if you are not you will have any problems. But ... if you plan on seeing the same female again, acting like a gentlemen will probably translate into better service.
Oh … better answer your question before I get completely sidetracked. I do not think the females care about westerners or others, in terms of people. I do believe that they like the western attitude over the typical asian one.
Just my opinions though………

The last time I was in BKK was many many years ago, when I was like 9 years old. It was in August during summer vacation. I had to wear a jacket and tie to visit the palace and it was hot as hell.
I like wearing jeans so I will bring at least a pair of jeans, but definitely relax fit to avoid crotch rot (as Chompoo had pointed out). I think shopping for clothes and flirting with sales girls would be interesting.
ABC:
I think you are very correct regarding non-western Asian men. I don't want to say all, but a good number of them are very poor tippers and have poor attitudes towards the girls, especially the ones who are with tour groups.

I've worn nike v-ball shorts and a v-ball t-shirt around to khaki's and a nice shirt. Just wear what is comfortable and something you would wear at home during the summer time.
Always amazes me what people on vacation wear. I am sure many don't wear the same cloths at home, but decide that going on vacation means 'lookin' strange'!! ha ha ha ha!!
You will have a good time with the sales females. Very friendly.
Have a good time.
