I believe there was a stand inside the Wat Phra Kaew grounds where one could join a free walk with an English-speaking guide. I just went with the English brochure they give with the ticket purchase and had no problems; I did catch a portion of one of the guided walks as they went past the model of Angkor Wat, and said uniformed guide's English sounded fairly good to me.
