georgiapeach:
New member Karvelophile had some helpful ideas about which bus stations could have been used:

But I think that Chateau showed that Ekamai Bus Station was actually the Phuket one...

I think they saw cameras and the prices went up. Interesting that no one negotiated a fee BEFORE getting in a cab? I never took one without a meter without having an agreement...

I had the impression that the teams had cabs tied up for something like 4-5 hours (6 hours for the twins).

Neobie:
So teams arrived at either the Northern/Mo Chit Terminal or the Southern/Sai Mai Terminal, and getting to the Southern Terminal, as the name suggests, is faster as the bus doesn't have to cut through town. Looking at the video again, I've got Ernie/Cindy and Lawrence/Zac arriving at the Southern, and everyone else at the Northern Terminal. Probably explains why Ernie/Cindy jumped ahead of the first bus to leave Phuket!

Neobie:
Mystery time!

The counter from which Andy/Tommy, Jeremy/Sandy and Justin/Jennifer got their tickets listed its destination as Mo Chit (Northern) Terminal, but the places where each team got their taxi don't make too much sense. Andy/Tommy look like they boarded at the Mo Chit Skytrain Station, which is the closest station to the bus terminal but still more than a kilometre away as the crow flies. Jeremy/Sandy and Justin/Jennifer board their taxi in a place that looks nothing like Mo Chit.

We see Justin/Jennifer waiting, at 7.32am, at the lower level of the Siam Station interchange, which serves trains towards Wong Wian Yai or On Nut. The pair only check in at 9.35am, so we know they're headed from Mo Chit to the fishes, and not from there to the Pit Stop. That eliminates On Nut as a possibility (since going that way from Mo Chit doesn't require a change at Siam Station), meaning Justin/Jennifer are headed towards Wong Wian Yai.

We can assume they took the metro to save money, but where did they alight? Each station they take on the line takes them further away from the fishes... And what about Jeremy/Sandy, considering they arrive at the fishes the same time as Andy/Tommy, who presumably took a taxi straight from Mo Chit?
