It's an older address they've used before.

I disagree with his departure times.  When the first team arrived on the dock, RaYoYo, the shadow of the signpost was about four boards long; when the other three teams arrived the shadow was only two boards.  Thus as the time went on the shadow got shorter which happens as the sun approaches its apex at noon; so I deduce that the teams arrived before noon.  My guess is that RaYoYo arrived at about 11:30AM and the other teams arrived at about 11:45 to 12:30 which would be their departure times.  But teams will bunch up again at the airport waiting for flights to Bangkok most likely connecting through Sydney.  It will be night when they arrive.  The first clue takes them to that temple in Bangkok which was in the promo after Ep 10.  Have you identified it?  Is it the Wat Hau Lamphong Temple?  The clue here takes them to Lopburi, Thailand.  Here they will find the FF to go somewhere for the bug eating event or proceed to Pra Prang Sum Yat Temple. And here they will find the roadblock while the other two teams are chasing bugs.
 
During the Detour event which entails carrying pots notice in the Wednesday promo that in the first shots Mo is wearing her backpack while she struggles with balancing the pots and in the distance ahead of her Jo is also wearing a backpack.  In later shot, he has left his backpack somewhere and is now carrying the pots without it.
 
Since neither BJ nor Tyler are seen in the preparation of the monkey feast while Eric, Jo and Yo are we must deduce that The Hippies have won the FF and have lept from last to first. 
 
Side note without any clothing of note: thin shirts and shorts for BJ I wonder how they will fare in Tokyo (November chill!) and in Alaska (even colder) and Denver?

I can vouch that this is outside Prang Sam Yot in Lopburi. This cap is of the cameraman pointing the camera eastwards towards the railway line, from right outside the temple entrance.



With BJ/Tyler waiting outside, do all four teams have to get there?

Up until know I couldn't figure out how the flights would work or how a team was spotted in Adelaide on Sunday the 27th. We were assuming that teams traveled on the 26th to be in Lopburi for the festival on the 27th. Since the teams spotted in Adelaide can't be BJ/T (backpacks) and all other teams are seen in Lopburi at the same time, I believe we have a 48 hour pitstop in Darwin. (edited to correct, I meant 36 hour). Add if the shots we're seeing with the monkeys was on the 27th there would be crowds everywhere. I believe they are cutting up leftover fruit!

Now for the flights. If teams traveled on the 26th as originally suspected then a 5:30 a.m. flight was available through Singapore which would get them into Bangkok around noon (too early). But on Sunday the 27th that flight isn't available. However, at 5:35 a.m. teams can fly to Sydney via Adelaide or Melbourne. The flight to Adelaide arrives at 9:05 a.m. There are many flights from Adelaide and Sydney. In every case, teams would not arrive in Bangkok until 9-11 p.m.

I also think that the teams split up and took different flights. Perhaps MoJo and E/J traveled together and thought they beat the other teams with good flights (MoJos statement on thinking they were first).

I can do some further flight checking later but must go now for a day of shopping!  :woohoo:
