Visitors tour Thailand on Segways

Two wheels might be better than two feet if you're heading to Bangkok as a tourist. A handful of companies are offering guided Segway tours which promise to show more, with minimum effort.

Tourists in the Thai capital are discovering that riding Segways, the revolutionary two-wheeled personal transport, can be an interesting and convenient way to explore Bangkok and get off the beaten path.

Local company Thailand Segway Tours organizes the three-hour Bangkok tours.

Wherever there are obstacles on the road, or small passageways to move through, a guide is there to help.

Kittsak Parthuman, Segway Tour Guide, said, "Okay, are we ready? We will go a little bit slowly. Safety first. Safety first. Okay, let's go. Slowly, please. Slowly, slowly."
