Yes. I meant to type 10. I.m typing on a tablet while my notebook is repaired (some of the keys only) and it.s difficult to fix typos as the on-Screen keys are a.pain to work with.
Others did figure out which leg I meant; IIRC, Krabi isn't far from Phuket, and with those offahore islands, there is always a chance the teams might hav been close to Krabi.

To me, the rock climbing wall looked like the one from TARA 1, in Krabi.

This has been discussed elsewhere, but Phil has been quoted as saying that the location for one leg this season had to be changed on the fly at the last minute. Apparently some natural disaster or civil unrest made a planned location unsafe. Speculation here on the board was that possibly it was due to rioting in Nepal around the time of the legs in Indonesia and good old comfortable and reliable Phuket was the last minute substitution. Certainly they are very familiar with Phuket and have contacts there, as well as previously planned tasks that could be set up on short notice. However, this is all speculative and we don't know for sure. I'm writing this from memory and I may have a detail or two wrong. There was one or two other possibilities for the changed leg as well.

Yes. We know that the change was made on or before June 23.
BOTH Thailand legs were apparently substitutes, and last minute changes.
We believe that Nepal was planned, but due to weather and some other issues, had to be changed last minute...
Just adding this here to clarify why Phuket again...but further discussion on this should please go to spec on spoilers, okay?
