Money for this race leg: $40.00. (I think, Mardy's accent is thicker than usual here.)
Money for the entire race: $509.00, plus whatever was given for Leg 3, Leg 5, and the previous leg.
Day Fifteen
Friday, June 9th, 2006
After an extended Pit Stop in Bangkok, teams depart from Wat Pho, the Temple of the Reclining Buddha:
1:00am - Andy/Laura
+5min - Andrew/Syeon (1:05am)
+11min - Howard/Sahran (1:11am)
+36min - Sandy/Francesca (1:36am)
+55min - Mardy/Marsio (1:55am)
+147min - Zabrina/Joe Jer (3:27am)
Teams are directed to take a taxi to the Southern Bus Terminal, then travel by bus to Krabi. When they arrive, they will travel by songtel to Nopparat Thara Bay.
In the only time this whole season teams take different routes, teams travel to Krabi as follows:
Direct Bus:
1=) Andy/Laura, Sandy/Francesca, Zabrina/Joe Jer
Assorted Local Buses (connecting in Prachuap, Chumphon, Muang Mai, and Phuket):
4=) Andrew/Syeon, Howard/Sahran, Mardy/Marsio
The direct bus arrives first, but something is apparently (poorly) edited out here, because Allan mentioned -- and the vision showed -- longboats with clues on them at the start of the episode, but this rehash shows a cluebox on the beach. In any event, teams get to Nopparat Thara Bay and find the visitors centre closed.
Day Sixteen
Saturday, June 10th, 2006
Teams are shown reading the next clue:
1) Andrew/Syeon
2) Sandy/Francesca
3) Howard/Sahran
4) Zabrina/Joe Jer
5) Mardy/Marsio
6) Andy/Laura
Which contains both a:
FAST FORWARD
In this Fast Forward, the last of the race, teams must head by longboat to Pranang Bay. There, they will take a two-person kayak and paddle around the bay to find the Fast Forward, hidden somewhere amongst the cliffs. Mardy/Marsio are the only team to attempt this, and they therefore win it unchallenged.
And a:
Smash <--DETOUR--> Grab
Both options first require teams to travel by longboat to Koh Poda, a small nearby island.
Teams selecting SMASH must use a hammer to smash through 75 coconuts, trying to find the only one in their pile filled with red ink. PROS: Less physical. CONS: Worse odds.
Teams selecting GRAB must swim among 100 buoys, each with a clue envelope underneath, and search for one of ten correct clue envelopes. PROS: Better odds of success. CONS: More physical.
Teams choose options and finish:
2) Andrew/Syeon, who chose Grab
3) Andy/Laura, who originally chose Smash but switched to Grab
4) Sandy/Francesca, who chose Smash
5) Zabrina/Joe Jer, who originally chose Smash but switched to Grab
6) Howard/Sahran, who originally chose Smash but switched to Grab
The next clue is a:
ROADBLOCK
"Who wants to rock? This challenge is physical and requires a steady nerve."
Before the task, teams must first travel by long boat to the Railey East 123 Wall. There, the chosen team member must choose one of six available paths up the limestone cliff, and retrieve their next clue before abseiling down. The chosen team members finish:
2) Andrew [Andrew 4, Syeon 3]
3) Andy [Andy 5, Laura 2]
4) Sandy [Sandy 4, Francesca 3]
5) Zabrina [Zabrina 3, Joe Jer 4]
6) Sahran [Howard 4, Sahran 3]
FF) Mardy/Marsio [Mardy 4, Marsio 2]
Teams are directed to take their longboat to Koh Hong, and search the island's interior lagoon for their next clue, which has been conveniently hidden in the most obvious place possible, and is markedly higher than usual to cope with the water. Teams get this clue:
2) Andrew/Syeon
3) Andy/Laura
4) Sandy/Francesca
5) Zabrina/Joe Jer
6) Howard/Sahran
The final clue of this leg directs teams to travel by longboat to the Pit Stop at Ko Pak Bia. Teams arrive:
1) Mardy/Marsio
2) Andy/Laura
3) Sandy/Francesca
4) Andrew/Syeon
5) Zabrina/Joe Jer
6) Howard/Sahran, who are eliminated.

With a clue directing them to fly to Singapore.

2) Andy/Laura
3) Andrew/Syeon
4) Howard/Sahran
5) Mardy/Marsio
6) Sandy/Francesca
They must find the correct cluebox out of several hidden on the temple grounds. However, teams must wait for the cable cars which will take them across the river to the temple to start operating at 6:30am before searching. They take cable cars across in the order they arrived, and find the correct cluebox:

2) Andrew/Syeon, who see Zabrina/Joe Jer getting the clue from their cable car
3) Sandy/Francesca
4) Mardy/Marsio
5) Andy/Laura
6) Howard/Sahran

3) Andrew/Syeon
4) Mardy/Marsio
5) Andy/Laura
6) Howard/Sahran
Just in time for this week's:
ROADBLOCK
"Who rings a bell? Patience and perseverence may be needed."
In this RoadBlock, the chosen team member must climb to the rooftop pagoda at the Golden Mount. There, they must search 560 "golden blessing bells" for silver clue capsules. Though there are 100 capsules, only six of these can be exchanged for the next clue. The chosen team members find a correct capsule and finish (after the first five teams to arrive must wait until the task opens at 8:00am):
1) Andy [Andy 4, Laura 2]
2) Syeon [Andrew 3, Syeon 3]
3) Francesca [Sandy 3, Francesca 3]
4) Marsio [Mardy 4, Marsio 2]
5) Joe Jer [Zabrina 2, Joe Jer 4]
6) Sahran [Howard 4, Sahran 2]
Immedaite after the RoadBlock, the next clue is a:
Bacon <--DETOUR--> Eggs
Teams selecting BACON must take a taxi to flagged tuk-tuks on a specified road, then navigate their driver through Bangkok's confusing streets to the nearby Pig Memorial Monument. Their drivers are not allowed to assist, but teams can ask for help from locals. PROS: Not physical. CONS: Language barrier.
Teams selecting EGGS must take a taxi to Pak Khlong Talad, find a specified egg vendor, stack 20 trays on a wheeler, and transport them to a different stall in the market. They must return and get replacements for any eggs they break. PROS: Task is potentially easier. CONS: Physical.
Teams choose options and finish:
1) Andy/Laura, who chose Eggs
2) Howard/Sahran, who chose Bacon
3) Andrew/Syeon, who chose Bacon
4) Sandy/Francesca, who chose Eggs, and found the end point of the task before they found the beginning
5) Mardy/Marsio, who chose Bacon
6) Zabrina/Joe Jer, who chose Bacon
The final clue of the leg directs teams to head to the Pit Stop at Wat Pho, also known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. Teams check-in:

2) Andrew/Syeon
3) Howard/Sahran
4) Sandy/Francesca
5) Mardy/Marsio
6) Zabrina/Joe Jer, who are not eliminated but lose all their money. They will not get any for the next leg.
