EP11 Title: I Think This Monkey Likes Me!

Running out of time:
Checking through last five shows with only two FF's there is no set pattern which is followed: In two shows teams have choice of FF or travel info to go on to anoth er site (this also was true in TAR9 , EP 7: Plate Breaking or train to Corinth Istmus. In three shows it is choice of FF or DETOUR. There has not been a case of FF or ROADBLOCK. So if the FF is the choice here at the Prang Sam Yot Temple between FF or make a feast for the monkies (ROADBLOCK) it would be a first. But TPTB have been screwing with our minds this TAR so it may be.
From the looks of the light it looks to be first thing in the morning.
Guess is that when the arrive in Bangkok at night teams take cabs (night shots of The Hippies in a cab) to Wat Hau Lamphong Temple to find clue which sends them off by bus or train to Lop Buri a three hour trip. But it may be that they have to wait at the bus station in Bangkok since my info shows the first bus out is at 5:30AM and the last one left at 8:30PM. Trains are quicker (2.5 hours) but only run 5 times a day. More infor at: www.railway.co.th.
First time in days and I am still on. Hope the above make some kind of sense.

The two teams that try for the Fast Forward are The Hippies and The Beach Boys! Yes, I know the Beach Boys alaready have done the FF but they screw up mightly. Clue: We see a veranda with two girls sitting before two asian style food tables at which you have to knell to eat. The Beach Boys come running up the steps as the title MISTAKES pops in over them. They then are told or realize that this the FF and they can't do it again. The Hippies arrive and eat their bugs at the tables waiting for them!!

This very thought had crossed my mind about the frats accidentally going for the FF. The thing is these shots really seem to be on Ko Kret. If so, then the Ko Kret (and the detour) comes before LopBuri and the roadblock. Does this hold up since some are saying the shots in LopBuri look early morning with teams waiting outside the fence?
Maybe Neobi can help determine where Jeremy and Monica are standing. Based on the google earth image it looks like the only place buildings could be in the background is if they are standing against the west or south fence. If they are standing against the west fence it sure looks like late afternoon to me. (chateau????)

I think I now have where they are standing as well as where the tables are set up based on these pics. There is a intersecting road in Jeremy's background and a building in the background of Eric running towards his table. So Jeremy and Mo must be standing against the SOUTH fence. There are lots of good shadows in the shots for Chateau. Based on this it does appear to be morning afterall.
GMan, if the pics of the frats going up the steps is in KoKret then this can't be the FF. Maybe it is where teams first run to on the island to get their detour clue.

If this is just a place to pick up the next route marker in KoKrek, why are there two table set up for a bug feast and two girls kneeling there to wait upon whomever shows up. Don't know where the location is,but I am sure this is location for the FF.
Good job on nailing down location of Jeremy and Mo watching the monkey action! From the shadows on the back of their heads it looks like early afternoon to me.
Idea: they may go by boat to KoKrek to find next clue which is either FF to go to Ko Krek and find a particular coffee house whatever or go on to somewhere else where they will find the Detour: elephants or jugs.(This was pattern in other shows and in ep 7 or TAR9) This leads them to LopBuri and the money shines which is the Roadblock. Final pit stop is also in LopBuri.

The main reason I can't see this as the FF is that E/J and Tyler and Ray are shown outside Wat Hau Lamphong Temple (wating for an opening????). When they get the clue BJ/T goes off to compete in the FF. If E/J also go to compete in the FF they would not be so far ahead of Jo and Yo at the roadblock. I don't see two tables set up - are they side-by-side?
