TAR 19 EP 5 "I Feel Like I'm in the Circus" (Bangkok, Thailand)
georgiapeach:
This is my spec for the order so far:
(This leg is already pretty crowded even without a detour.)
Depart after an extended PitStop.
Make your way to {{spec'd}} Ton Pariwat wildlife sanctuary
Active Route Marker: both teams ride elephants through the forest
Speedbump: Liz and Marie must wash an elephant
RB: Find a wrapped bundle in a waterfall/pool and do ( unknown what with it...unless {{spec}} could this be a piece of the spirit house??)
Seen doing this: Andy and Marcus
RB 2: Collect all the pieces needed to build a spirit house, and then take them to and assemble them at Chateau's unnamed wat!
Seen doing this: Tommy
(somewhere in all that (?) >>ride a jitney)
Take a looooong bus ride to Bangkok.
Fearing they have broken the rules, one team takes a risk that could cost them the Race. {{spec by Chateau}} That this involves "first-class fares"
In Bangkok:
Liz and Marie do not have enough money for a taxi ride
Jeremy/ Sandy are lost in Bangkok while Ernie/Cindy are lost in translation, something regarding the taxi driver refusing their US dollars.,.
All teams must feed the fish in the Bangkok Noi canal of "Wat Srisudaram" to receive their next clue...to the PITSTOP ???
Pitstop: Unknown...but teams seen near The Grand Palace (thanks Kartvelophile ) So that is my guess!
--- Quote ---The Grand Palace has an area of 218,400 sq. metres and is surrounded by walls built in 1782. The length of the four walls is 1,900 metres. Within these walls are situated government offices and the Chapel Royal of the Emerald Buddha besides the royal residences.

--- Quote from: Prophet on October 22, 2011, 09:08:15 PM ---The spirit house seems like the first roadblock because Andy and Tommy have been taking turns. That would put the water roadblock and the elephants in second. So the temple might be in Phuket with the rest of the leg around Bangkok with the canal RI between the RB and the detour?
A lot of speedbump tasks are between the detour and the roadblock like the yoga in TAR12 and the coin flipping and the tea tasting in TAR16 and the tank washing in TAR17. In this leg it will probably be between the two RBs. So it would work with what I said.
(Three speedbumps were right before the Pitstop)

The spirit house is the 2nd roadblock.

I just don't see the speedbump being placed at the end of the leg...
Minor mysteries:
All our inside bus station pics are in Bangkok right?
So why are M/A at a ticket window? ???
And CLEARLY we can see that wherever Tommy is getting his house pieces it is NOT at the Temple...so they have to get the pieces, take them to the temple, and build it there.

This blog has a picture from inside the Phuket Bus Station
It looks like our shots: :tup:

I do not think it is raining in that particular photo. However, it could rain during their elephant trip.
