Maybe the Chang Mai Leg was Saturday 10/21?

Most likely yes. Almost all flights from BAH to CNX require overnighting somewhere, so it's doubtful they managed to get there in time to film on Oct 20.

also it's rather interesting that production is suggesting there's "limited availability" on flights from Chiang Mai to Hong Kong when 30 seconds of searching shows at least three better flights...

^Definitely interesting. Most likely logistics. Either they want a night Leg in Hong Kong or they need them there around that time to equalize them before moving on to another location not in HK perhaps?

An African TAR fan who's a pretty avid follower of this board just tweeted something interesting. If the letters of the connections and destinations are arranged correctly, he may actually be onto something. Check it out.

The finale is not in Atlanta...

Expecting the predictable, there's a few California cities that start with A, i.e. Anaheim

How could do Chiang Mai is a TBC leg before getting to Hong Kong for today? It could still be a F5 and could be a secind NEL in a row?

But they wouldn't need to equalize them with forced flights though; if they're traveling somewhere else then all they have to do is force teams to sign up for whatever bus/train/plane/who knows they're taking.

Incidentally I'm on my phone so I can't cap the periscope but the temple complex the skiers are exiting is Wat Ho Tham inside the Wat Chedi Luang temple complex.  :angel

nope highly doubt that.. IF this is leg 11 they are down to four.. Either Chiang Mai was TBC/NEL or Bahrain was but not both.

I know all is rumors , but its rumored that the liefguards were eliminated in Bahrain, so the 4 remaining teams might have did a leg in Chiang Mai and it could have been a NEL, with hong kong as the final leg determining the final 3 .

True.
On that same note, would they really have teams fly specifically to Hong Kong just to get them somewhere else instead of just connecting through straight to the final destination? In today's TAR? It's pretty doubtful I would say.

How are we sure Chang Mai and Hong Kong aren't one leg?
It could be. Very TAR Canada 5 of them. But I doubt they'd only do half a Leg in either country. It would have to be a TBC/KOR Leg at the very least.

I've been seeing this guy's tweets about TAR for years. He's an obsessed fan like most of us. However, most of what he tweets is just stuff he's seen elsewhere. In addition to the flaws that have already been pointed out, I have trouble believing in him as a reliable source.

We have probably just made his day though.  :conf:

Unlikely, but could be a possibility!

I am leaning toward highly unlikely.

Why does the clue give them specific instructions for flights? Like the connecting flight. From the show they make it seem like they have to find their own flight.

Sometimes the show will make them take specific flights, for various reasons. Other times teams have to find their own.

I'd guess because in the very early seasons, back when teams had free reign to book their own flights, we had incidents where a team would botch it and end up almost a day behind, or adversely sometimes in their favor, almost a day ahead of everyone else. Also to avoid any risk of them accidentally transferring through somewhere they shouldn't for safety reasons.

They don't really want things like that anymore, better to keep them all moderately bunched together.

To make them to be on the same plane before starting the leg I guess. Also to avoid them finding some maraculous flight which puts one team in lead ahead of others for many hours. I recall there was a huge lead of 7 hours by finding a great flight at the airport in tar 5 in Egypt!
