We had a really enjoyable electric scooter tour around Bangkok with Jobe as our guide. He was warm, patient and clearly cared about making sure everyone had a good experience. A real highlight was seeing parts of Bangkok we would never otherwise have discovered - neighbourhoods where many local people actually live, not just the typical tourist spots.
Along the way we visited a beautiful local temple, explored a lively market, fed fish and turtles, and rode through Chinatown which was great fun. Jobe also introduced us to some local flavours, including Thai papaya salad and wontons, which was a lovely touch. The only downside was that the tour ran quite a bit longer than expected. It was scheduled for 1–3pm but didn’t finish until around 4:45pm. Some extra time was spent helping less confident riders get comfortable on the scooters, which we completely understand, though the overrun was still quite significant. That said, Jobe was a fantastic host and this was a unique experience!
