Bangkok Tour Guide

Just get a map and walk around.

I don't want a to walk around with a map I want a tour guide - can someone direct me to a forum that can assist me with this query this is the second time I have absolutely no help from Lonely Planet at all - helped me twelve year ago (as a couple traveller) but seems I am in the wrong place now (with two kids) - second time in as much as a month I have received an insidious comment - I am clearly on the wrong place....

Most of the regulars on this forum are independent travellers, so tour guide recommendations probably won't be forthcoming.
Assuming this is your first time in Bangkok, you could ask your hotel to get you a tuk tuk or taxi with English speaking driver to do the tour you want. With kids I think you are probably better off doing things under your own steam.

by "specific tour" do you mean a particular theme or routing, or just the area that you have mentioned?

There are lots of tour (travel) agents in Bangkok maybe you should check them out , or ask your hotel.

For some things, Trip Advisor is much better. This could be one of those times.
An alternative is to ask at a TAT ( authorized) office about a registered tuk tuk driver. My brother in law did that on one of his trips to Bangkok.

I think if you give more information about this 'tour' you have seen, people might be able to help more. As it is, no-one has any idea of what you are planning, so more information could help in people giving recommendations.

I don't walk around with a map anymore...I use my phone or tablet.

Lonely Planet has a free APP which covers many major cities including Bangkok. You might like to download it and, before leaving home, prepare a plan of what you want to see in relation to the amount of time you have available. When talking to friends I always suggest that Day 1 should be The temple of the Emerald Buddha (The King's Palace) and The Temple of the Reclining Buddha which are close together. You won't need a guide to see these. Transport should be easily arranged from your hotel.

You should be able to make out a plan for other days too. I think many days you will not need a guide and others you might need one. So make a plan and evaluate your need for a guide and for how many days.

The other responders have made good points, too, so try to use their advice.
