anyways, I'm a newbie here, but not a newbie TAR fan.

Hi gingher, I'm a newbie to both RFF and TAR (don't watch much TV at all) and I also hope that MoJo will make the F3. Mo's emotions don't bother me at all (we can't all be hard-asses) and she has more than carried her weight and has not balked (well maybe a bit afraid of the lobster) at undertaking the challenges before her. IMHO they are still in the race because she stood up to, and corrected Jo's "wayward" travel. I am also rooting for the "nasty" Fratboys and Hippies to make F3.

Been flipping through Lonely Planet, and the only place I can find that offers elephants as a major attraction (other than Ayutthaya, where I don't think the elephants go into the water, and Pattaya, where they're just kitsch) is Kanchanaburi, which TAR1 covered in a haste. They mostly only offer elephant riding tours, though, but these definitely enter the river at some point.

Yet, remember that elephant riding itself is a recycled task, from the abandoned Detour option of Beast (of 'or Boat') in Chiang Mai.
There are no direct buses between Kanchanaburi and Lopburi. You'll have to catch a local bus to Sangklaburi first (took me 1.5h) then change to another brining you to the monkey town (another 1.5h). Another option is to go through Bangkok. This could explain the bunch-up waiting for Prang Sam Yot to open, as any task taking place in Kanchanaburi will mean an overnight stay before a task in Lopburi.
That would mean a very dragged out leg, though. So... ???

Also if it is, I can see BJ/T and RaYo wishing each other luck before facing off with each other in a fast forward.

Neobi, what do you think of the possibility of it being the Samphran Elephant Ground and Zoo?

The site says its about an hour from central Bangkok. If you click on the shows link you see costumed riders like in the original vid caps. Under the Whats News section there is this: "Riding on the elephant through a tropical garden and get into the bayou under waterfall is the soft adventure anyone should try" with a link for pics.
