EP11 Title: I Think This Monkey Likes Me!
woden:
What IS the deal with Yahoo? Those previews should clear some things up as we all have different takes on this one. My simplified current thought is this, with reasons why in parentheses:
DAY ONE
TEAMS depart Lake Bennett on 11/26
FIRST CLUE: Fly to Bangkok, Thailand and search Wat Hua Lamphong temple for clue (webclue)
TEAMS arrive in Bangkok in the daytime (temple shot in daylight, usually an aprx. match for lighting of teams' arrival)
SECOND CLUE: Proceed to Ayutthaya
TEAMS go to Ayutthaya, do something with elephants
THIRD CLUE: Proceed to Lopburi and find Pra Prang Som Yat temple
TEAMS arrive in Lopburi at night (RaYo in cab, night shots of monkey festival going on)
TEAMS are bunched until the next morning (where teams wait outside gate, Ty & Ray hi-five)
DAY TWO
TEAMS enter temple grounds, find clue
FOURTH CLUE: ROADBLOCK - prepare monkey feast OR FAST FORWARD - eat bugs
BJT, MoJo go to FF, E&J & RaYo get started on roadblock, MoJo return to do roadblock
FIFTH CLUE: Proceed to Ko Kret Island
TEAMS arrive at Ko Kret, get next clue
SIXTH CLUE: DETOUR - something with pots
SEVENTH CLUE: Proceed to pitstop in plantation in Ko Kret (where E/J are held up, MoJo run, etc)
This makes the most sense to me time-wise.

This is what Prang Sam Yot temple looked like on November 27th, 2005. That along with the Adelaide airport spoiler leads me to believe that teams traveled on Nov. 27th and the roadblock and detours are the following day. No background photos of teams at the temple show crowds or tents for the festival.
As for the Wat Hua Lamphong temple being shown in the daytime - maybe it is at the end of the leg instead of the beginning. After the detours in KoKret teams are told to find the temple in Bangkok. Could be where one team is slowed down for local traditions. Heck it could even be the pitstop!!!

Sups, you're right -- the timing makes sense if they get to Bangkok on 11/27 instead of 11/26. The night shots of the monkey festival could be the night of 11/27. There are some day shots with crowds too, though, like with the horse show. Maybe the horses are with the elephants in Ayutthaya?
If it does break this way, I think you're right -- the Bangkok temple could be the pitstop. That would make the Ko Kret plantation and the porch E/J are running on the other half of the detour with the pot-carrying the other option. I think that shot of the big pots might not be a detour option but just some footage they'll use when Phil gives background on Ko Kret pottery. If it goes this way, it also means MoJo switches detours -- we see them with the pots and also in the plantation.
