Had the incredible luck to connect in Bangkok for a couple of hours, and was able to gather that an "adventure company" was holding an event here at the Phayathai Palace on the 16th of November, and that the point of contact worked for... World Race Productions! (This is our race, guys!)
Other places which may or may not be locations (I can't tell for sure if I completely understood the lady I talked to, but it's worth a look) are...
this place... and
this place!

It isn't exactly that building though; I was told something about the Vimanmek Teak Palace, in the same compound, but no photography is allowed inside?!
So I'm not exactly sure if TAR could have got their cameras in too! (A security guard seemed to remember filming in the compound though, the information desk - when I asked them - called up someone, then started pretending to not know anything...)

It's a huge rush getting from Phuket on the 15th, Bangkok on the 16th, to Guilin on the 17th - but it's possible, and the whole point of the race, isn't it? More info in the timetables thread!

*TEAMS MUST KARAOKE THEIR WAY THROUGH A THAI POP-THEMED DETOUR
....... Teams let loose in a Karaoke-themed Detour
**One racer's Roadblock goes up in smoke
*SEVERAL RACERS FOOLISHLY LEAVE THEIR BACKPACKS BEHIND AT A ROADBLOCK COSTING THEM CRITICAL TIME
Several Racers leave their backpacks behind at a Roadblock and find themselves shoeless with no passports,
Lesson not learned from Toni and Dallas last season - one team goes to the mat without their passports.
A racer wanders through Bangkok-barefoot
.... one racer goes hours out of the way to retrieve "mementos".

Any definitive team sightings around there?

Just kidding. :funny:

Or am I?

Not that I can get it anyways.
Anyways, that title confuses me. Rooting? That's either uprooting a tree, which doesn't make sense for this case. You can also root, or cheer, for a person, but why do it so in-your-face on another person? Lastly, and probably what makes the most sense, is something dentistry-related. Teeth has root canals. Do teams have to do a dentistry task, or is a dental office a route marker?

It sounds like one of Mel's epic one-liners.
