Guides in BKK all booked. Help!
 

I have contacted all the Guides highly recommended in this Forum (Cherry, Julie, Rat and Tong). They are all busy during the time of our visit (Nov 16 22). I would appreciate any comments about the substitutes they offer? I have read that Tong's husband, for example, is not a guide and has poor English. Other suggestions would be appreciated.

Tong's husband is not a guide and generally not offered as one. (There was one instance recently but it was an exception to take someone to an obscure place her guides are unfamiliar with) The other members of her team are good and if one is available, I would recommend them.

Don't know about the others.

You don't really need a guide in Bangkok. Some people like to book a guide or a driver, but really you can do anyhting you want to do in Bangkok without a guide. If, once you get there, you really feel the need for a guide (or a driver) for a day, your hotel can easily arrange one for you.

Pick up a copy of Nancy Chandler's map at Asia Books or Bookazine. It has everything you need to know about BKK. You don't need a guide.

i am spending the day with cherry tomorrow and will see if she has someone that can help you....i will post on the weekend
