From List of Tour Guides, Which speaks best English & Good?

I need to reserve a tour guide for Bangkok for mid-November for one full day or maybe also 1/2 day too. I picked from the list of guides posted on the fourm that needs to speaks very good english. My husband is hard of hearing, even with an aid, and if their accent is too thick, he wouldn't be able to hear or understand them. I picked the ones with a web page, Ratt (I know she is just a driver) Cherry, Chob and Oat.

Any feed back from any of them or any one else, besides Tong, I'm too late for her, I would appreciate it very much.

I only have used Ratt and Cherry. Cherry is very easy to understand, and works very hard to eliminate her acccent . She also has an excellent vocabulary, which adds to the understandibility. Cherry is very friendly and personable. Cherry is a licensed guide. Ratt is not for you...a lovely person, but a bit difficult to understand at times. I know nothing about the other 2 you mentioned. Hope this helps.

i would also add to what my wife has listed above that tong is excellent too, but i doubt she would be available although it would be worth an attempt.....www.tourwithtong.com

but my pick would be cherry too for the clarity of her english..

The trouble with Tong, it takes her a long time to answer your e-mail, and I only have 7 weeks before we leave. Also, if she is not available, she will assign a different one of her guides to me, not knowing what I will be getting, as far speaking very good english. Therefore, I will take your suggestion and contact Cherry.

Thanks,
