The preview makes me think this is going to have some elements of Season 1, Leg 11 which was a extremely physical leg in the same area. Don't know if they're repeating all the tasks from that memorable leg (and I wish they had), but I do get the impression it's got at least some of that included.

That might just be my favorite leg in season 1.
-
I hated TAR 1 Krabi though. The leg went absolutely nowhere, teams were ferried around in chartered boats, none of the tasks was culturally engaging, and nothing was tested except for physical skills (plus the bad hours of operation planning that defined the rest of the race).

^^ Those umbrella stands are available on almost all the beaches so.... (I took that photo when I was in Phuket)
I believe they might have to go out to Phi Phi Island or go on an island hoping spree.
But... Phuket again? Why not visit other islands..... :duno:
-
The island being filmed by the helicopter is Koh Nom Sao.
http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=jch4rds66zg6&lvl=16&dir=180&sty=b&eo=0&where1=Ko%20Panyi%2C%20Phangnga%2C%20Thailand&form=LMLTCC
There is a tiny island in the foreground, and the boats are docked in the same position which I'm inclined to believe is a fishing spot so I'm fairly confident this is our place. However, there seems to be very limited information on this island, so I'm wondering whether this beautiful island is unrelated and just filmed as a 'beauty shot'.
A short boat ride north takes us to Ko Panyi, famous for its Muslim fishing village, built entirely on stilts and set against a backdrop of a towering limestone cliff:
http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=jcpdjws67rzy&lvl=17&dir=270&sty=b&eo=0&where1=Ko%20Panyi%2C%20Phangnga%2C%20Thailand&form=LMLTCC
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ko_Panyi
This rock climbing company lists the cliffs of Ko Panyi as one of its destinations: http://www.geckothailand.com/Panyi_climbing.html so it is likely to be where we see Bill rock climbing and also the village that we see the children running through earlier in the promo.

This has been discussed elsewhere, but Phil has been quoted as saying that the location for one leg this season had to be changed on the fly at the last minute. Apparently some natural disaster or civil unrest made a planned location unsafe. Speculation here on the board was that possibly it was due to rioting in Nepal around the time of the legs in Indonesia and good old comfortable and reliable Phuket was the last minute substitution. Certainly they are very familiar with Phuket and have contacts there, as well as previously planned tasks that could be set up on short notice. However, this is all speculative and we don't know for sure. I'm writing this from memory and I may have a detail or two wrong. There was one or two other possibilities for the changed leg as well.

Gaah another rappelling roadblock, so soon? :groan:

AR1, episode 11 was in Beijing and featured the battle between Joe/Bill and Kevin/Drew, although it did depart from the Phuket International Airport because it is the major one for the entire area. I believe you mean AR1, leg 10 which was in Ao Luk, Chicken Island, Paiplong and Raile Beach near Krabi?
-
Yes. I meant to type 10. I.m typing on a tablet while my notebook is repaired (some of the keys only) and it.s difficult to fix typos as the on-Screen keys are a.pain to work with.
Others did figure out which leg I meant; IIRC, Krabi isn't far from Phuket, and with those offahore islands, there is always a chance the teams might hav been close to Krabi.
-
To me, the rock climbing wall looked like the one from TARA 1, in Krabi.

Yes. We know that the change was made on or before June 23.
BOTH Thailand legs were apparently substitutes, and last minute changes.
We believe that Nepal was planned, but due to weather and some other issues, had to be changed last minute...
Just adding this here to clarify why Phuket again...but further discussion on this should please go to spec on spoilers, okay?

This looks like the speedboat company they are using: http://nonthasakmarine.com/
They offer an all day charter and will probably serve as the taxis for the day as they seem to get to the RB and the Detour on them

I think at least the roadblock and maybe the detour as well are around the peninsula known as Railay Beach. It would require the speedboat trip and has great rock climbing locations that look a lot like the ones in the preview.

The Amazing Race has been in the area before. AR1 went to Railay Beach (I have seen 4 different spellings used) in episode 10. There was the famous ROADBLOCK to climb "the King" which is above Railay Beach. Amazing Race Asia 1 had a ROADBLOCK episode 8 to climb Railay East 123 Wall. Here is a little tourist info on Railay Beach:
The beaches and stunning cliffs of Railay Beach are certainly worth a day trip, even if you don't stay there. Divided into Railay East and West, the former offers the best rock-climbing cliffs, situated next to mud flats. The West has the sort of soft powdery sands that attract beach bunnies, though longtails dock right here and the resulting noise of the motors can ruin the peacefulness of the gorgeous cerulean sea.

I thought they did bunny tasks in Denmark. :lol:

Do you write travel guides for a living?!
But judging by the presence of a climbing wall in Ko Panyi, I'm inclined to believe this is where we'll see the Roadblock. If I had to guess, I'd think the Detour will take place nearer Phuket, so perhaps we'll see teams venture out to Ko Panyi first before returning to Phuket itself for the Pit Stop.
-
It could be, both Railay and Ko Panyi are about the same distance from Phuket. I do think the roadblock is first based on several factors and in the detour caps you can that the same boats brought them to that beach.
-
Are the items they build and place under water, platforms to grow coral? I seem to have seen these before in Florida.

I think you're right!

That's it, north! I have been trying to figure what those are. The coral is what they are placing in all those T joints on top. This is probably also the giving back after the earthquake part.

I LOVE this!! Thank you Flamant and NoLuck!! :hearts:
How wonderful to have a task that will HELP make a contribution to the area!
-
I was in nearby Krabi a few months ago, and it was bizarre that every wave brought in loads of tiny pieces of coral. Apparently this is due to the practise of dynamite fishing, which completely destroys any nearby coral reefs. Its not as widely practised now, and I think it may even have been outlawed, but broken coral still washes ashore on every beach!

What's with the "FORMER NFL STAR" in the preview every week. It's getting frustrating. I tend to think that it's Railay Beach too. But Thailand has got loads of small islands and they're all beach paradise and you can't be sure?

The detour locations could be anywhere, there'd be thousands of locations that could fit. The roadblock could be one of a few places. The only place we know for certain is Ko Panyi, the Muslim village on stilts.
-
There is a new episode preview showing M/A, B/C, and J/S all aborting the water detour due to high currents.
I cannot upload from work, will get it up later tonight.
-
New episode PROMO up in post #2!!!
-
That looks difficult, I've been out in high surf and current trying to hold on to a kayak and snorkel several times. And they have that big frame and tools with them. I wonder who's going to clean up all that junk they threw on the ocean floor :lol:
It seems like Andy and Tommy may have already finished and are maintaining their wide margin ahead. Or they just already quit. Justin and Jennifer attempted that detour as well, I wonder where they went.

Joab, they are the recruited team this season, they have to milk it for the ratings...

I see the twins doing this detour too, in the Episode Promo.
1.06~1.08

yes you do...
UH-OH..... :ascared:

I'm pretty sure that is Justin up in the corner in the red shorts as well. Those two teams seem to be behind.
-
After watching the clip, and checking out the speedboat company Prophet posted in an earlier post, I'm 99% sure that the location of the detour is Khai Nok.
The terrain is similar, the island is low-lying and the layout of the place we are shown briefly at 1:09 matches up nicely with all the Google image results. The island is very small, so I'd imagine switching detours would be very quick and that it won't harm the twins too much.
-
Except that 3 strong teams have already tried and failed at the water detour... If the twins also try and fail and have to go back to the umbrella task...:duno:

My money is on Koh Khai which is further east from Khai Nok.

Put my chips next to yours. There's an rock (islet?) offshore of Ko Khai that matches the one seen over Amani's shoulder. (photo source (http://www.panoramio.com/photo/41080522))

That is indeed the same company that Prophet found earlier: Nonthasak Marine. Their dock is the one that Chateau posted just above you.

Finally got an exact map match! (And we knew it was South Thailand since Episode 1...) South is oriented up in these maps. The island's called Ko Raya Ring.

I already posted this on Page 1, but not with your screenshots! Bing Maps calls the island 'Koh Nom Sao'.
-
I remember Dom El (and credit goes to you)! Bing had it mislabelled which is why I got confused and couldn't match the shot, plus Google sends you to all sorts of crazy places if you try to search for Ko Nom Sao.
According to this (http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/ams/indochina_and_thailand/txu-oclc-6535632-nc47-14.jpg) and this (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CTl4ZNeOc7w/TMSfe76stAI/AAAAAAAAPok/xPg3NliKdpU/s1600/002_Phang-Nga-Bay-x.jpg) Ko Nom Sao is the little pair of islets 3km to the northeast of Ko Raya Ring, which is the big island.
-
Good find! This is where the big name map sites let you down.. Its always better to trust a traditional hand-labelled map!
-
I couldn't make any sense of the Bing link either. It gives a map of the entire Earth and asks:
Did you mean:
A Ko Panyi, Phangnga, Thailand
B Ko Panyi, Phangnga, Thailand
:lol: I though it was just my PC
But I still don't see where the cliff for the Roadblock is. Could be Phi Phi since the boat company talks about it.
-
Okay, that's the first and last time I'll ever use Bing Maps! :lol:
But it looks like the Muslim stilt village is set against a backdrop of towering limestone cliffs.

Why wouldn't she be? They have just come on a really long boat ride from the Detour and she doesn't know where the PitStop is.

Maybe the Pitstop is on the otherside of the Island and they have to take the boat around? :duno:

Do you think that Ernie and Cindy used the Express Pass? We see just Ernie (if you blink you'd miss him altogether) at the detour... What if they thought, 'Oh Hell with it' and used it? Andy and Tommy looked pretty dang happy... One of the first to arrive or glad they are still in it?

Does anyone remember if Liz and Marie were shown switching on the air?
They switched?
Greenegg saw them doing the coral Detour in the promo. We've been getting some odd stuff in promos this year.
Also, why did the clue say "you will find Phil at the floating stadium" ?? I wonder if this was supposed to be a TBC at one point or something.
And of course we got another non cluebox and a non paper RI clue.
-
Congratulations to Ernie and Cindy for holding on to the Express Pass beyond Leg 4! That's a RECORD. :lol3:
I'm really liking all the teams so far... with the exception of Andy and Tommy being a strong team and completely making the race boring for me by doing a hat trick. Other than that, they're a decent team and >>> BJ and Tyler. HOWEVER, please stop doing what they did at the airport to Zac and Laurence, it's pointless and not funny at all. Don't do a BJ and Tyler, they don't ask you back for Allstars. :lol3:
I'm also not liking Jeremy and Sandy much. Thank goodness they're not getting much edit which probably means they don't win or whatsoever. Even Liz and Marie has more screentime than them.
This season gives me abit of a TAR 7 vibe... We have Amani and Marcus who for God knows what reason always fall from the top to the bottom pack, then we have Bill and Cathi who's doing a Meredith and Gretchen... slow and steady. They don't even know how many legs they're going to survive but that attitude to survive and go through each leg. <3
Justin and Jennifer.. there's something I like about this sibling relationship here. Very real, very true and fun to watch them bicker. They also worked well together as a team and I'm rooting for them too. Too many teams to love this season! :D
Ernie and Cindy... mistake made this leg. Completely falling behind after their strong performance from the first leg. I suggest that they should stop and think sometimes and not just rush through things. Other than that, they're still pretty much a strong contender for the Final 3.
Laurence and Zac... oh well, they got more screentime this leg. But still unforgettable. T_T
I think the Roadblock is underrated. Does it really seem as easy as it seemed? I mean, it seems like every team just sort of breezed through it. I suggest they do a Switchback of The Bowling Moms Roadblock. :lol3: I think Liz and Marie might just die on the spot if they had to do that RB after all the beach detour drama.
Obviously, I thought that making umbrellas couldn't be that hard. But the girls are really weak and do not have strength to go against the windspeed. Poor them. :( <333333333333333333333333333333 Go twins! Do a Kami and Karli and go all the way till Leg 9 at least! :D
Right now I think definitely, we will have Andy and Tommy in the Final 3... Justin and Jennifer and Ernie and Cindy seemed to be the viable choices too. But I have no idea why... Amani and Marcus seemed to be due for winning a leg soon. Or is it just me? :lol:
GREAT SEASON SO FAR. Andy and Tommy please don't win the next leg. <///////////////////3

So actually, Ernie and Cindy already broke the "record' of using it with lesser teams in the race. :lol: But in terms of a real record, Ernie and Cindy needs to NOT use their EP next leg to beat Gary and Mallory's record... maybe they will keep it till Leg 8? :tup:

They have set a record in keeping quiet about it the longest. For all the little things that have come up, they have yet to even talk about using it.

Noooooo at Andy and Tommy doing a hat trick! Not that I have anything against them (they're just not one of my favourites), it's just making the race seem boring. But we can't deny they're great racers with loads of experience from being professional surfers. This race seems all too easy for them, the way they're breezing through the tasks. Then again, they do deserve credit for always being careful to read the rules and be aware of their surroundings. Not many teams can do this.
Justin and Jennifer still kinda annoy me, but they raced a strong leg. I still believe they will make the Final 3 and possibly end up second place like most strong, bickering teams.
My first impression of Jeremy and Sandy was that they'd be a bickering team. But over the past few episodes, there didn't seem to be much of them so I thought they're actually peace-loving. But this episode, Jeremy started the snapping and I was like... Alright, guess I'm not rooting for this team. Other than that, they've been consistent throughout the past few legs. I'd think that they're contenders for the Final 3 but based on the previews for next week, I get the feeling that they'll be eliminated sometime soon because of a bad mistake of some sort...
Still not getting much from Lawrence and Zac, but after not doing so well the first leg, they've made a good recovery and have been racing strong the past few legs. They work pretty well together too, but they remind me of Michael and Kevin, so I get the feeling they won't make the Final 3.
Totally rooting for Ernie and Cindy still. I just love this team. If not for their navigation error, they'd have finished in third place. Which worries me, 'cos in a race like this, you can't afford to make such silly mistakes. When there're fewer teams left, that's when the impact will be drastic. I still feel that they will make the Final 3 and possibly wind up in third place like Brian and Ericka.
Amani and Marcus haven't been doing that well, but something tells me they're gonna continue like that and make it through to the Final 5 or 6, and then get eliminated 'cos they're not as strong as other teams. But for now, they can still afford to go the wrong way as they're many teams remaining.
Love Bill and Cathi! Love their positive attitude and how they're always so appreciative of the things around them. They seem to be doing well for some legs, but always wind up 7th place. Oh well, slow and steady! I actually do believe it when Bill said they're gonna be around for some time.
I'm thankful Liz and Marie did not get eliminated. They're clueless and pretty weak, but there's something I like about them. Maybe 'cos they're the only remaining all-female team as well... I don't know if they'll survive the Speed Bump next leg though. And I guess they'll be eliminated soon...
For now, I feel that Andy and Tommy have the highest chances to win the race, not just because they've won three legs, but I'm factoring edit and their meticulousness in too.
-
I noticed when Andy / Tommy and Lawrence / Zac checked in at Yogyakarta airport, they were showing the boarding pass being printed. However, upon close inspection, the boarding pass shown is for flight KQ 116 on July 3. Googling KQ 116, shows that flight is from Nairobi to Amsterdam.
So, it looks like they swap that clip into Yogyakarta.

I'm going to give credit to the cab driver who drove Liz and Marie for free.... taxi in Phuket = EXPENSIVE. That could be like... maybe 500 baht OR MORE of wasted trip and he has to go back to the airport again! (More than $15 USD for sure... and they don't earn that much in the country)
