The scooters were easy to use, even for our 10yr old, and this surely must be the most fun way to cover a decent distance and see parts of Bangkok we would never have explored on our own. We loved riding along side the canal. There was a guide at the front and back of the group who made us feel very safe. The photos and videos of the tour we were sent afterward were an added bonus.”
