   TEAMS are bunched at temple overnight until 11/27, date of monkey festival

The only real kink I see in this is (and I'm having a hard time trying to explain this -- even to myself):

I don't think the teams would arrive at the actual roadblock and have to wait for hours of operation. If so, why would teams run off to a FF location when they are already standing at the roadblock? AND, how could Monica think they got there first if they were standing around waiting for the park to open?

I think the overnight hours of operation is for some other landmark. Maybe in Lopburi but could also be at the elephant place which is about 30 miles south/southeast of Lopburi (in between there and Bangkok).

Thoughts????

woden:
Sups, the elephant location is missing -- UNLESS those elephants are just part of the monkey festival festivities, kinda like the show horse in the promo this week.

As for the roadblock, maybe they are just told to go to the monkey temple location, where they arrive at night and wait for the hours of operation. Then in the morning when it opens, they run in and get the clue for roadblock/fast forward? I dunno.

It does seem like there's a big gap in the schedule between arriving in Bangkok and arriving in Lopburi at night...

My problem with having a FF/roadblock clue at the monkey festival is that we see 3 teams at the monkey festival and we know that 2 team compete for the FF.  If all the teams are bunched at the monkeys (waiting for it to open), then the FF loser should be significantly behind.

Too bad we don't have a monkey icon for this thread.
