Story[]

Route Markers[]

The order of departure from Cambodian–Vietnamese War Memorial are as follows:

Daniel & Ryan (9:27 am)
Emily & Jono (9:43 am)
John & Murray (9:45 am)
Sally & Tyson (10:02 am)
Cat & Jesse (10:06 am)
Aston & Christie (10:36 am)
Ashleigh & Jarrod (10:38 am)
Carla & Hereni (11:03 am)

Daniel & Ryan were given a 30-minute advantage from the step counter challenge at the previous leg.

Teams must make their way to the Cambodia–Thailand border crossing in Poipet, cross on foot, and then travel by bus to Bangkok, Thailand. Upon arrival, teams must find Now Travel in order to receive their next clue.

Teams must fly to Krabi. Upon arrival, teams had to find Thai Thai Massage in Ao Nang, where they had to choose one of eight spa treatments written in Thai and without knowing how long the treatment would take. Once the treatment was complete, teams received their next clue.

For both Detour options, teams had to travel by long-tail boat to Phra Nang Beach.

Choice A: Climb Up

Team members must have to use a harness and scale up to a sheer rock face to retrieve an Amazing Race flag, which they could exchange for their next clue.

Ashleigh & Jarrod, Carla & Hereni, Daniel & Ryan, John & Murray, and Sally & Tyson chose this task.

Choice B: Drill Down

Teams must have to first build a hand drill and then use it to extract enough coconut juice from a pile of coconuts so as to fill a container in order to receive their next clue.

Aston & Christie, Cat & Jesse, and Emily & Jono chose this task.

Teams must make their way to East Railay Beach in order to find their next clue.

At East Railay Beach, teams would have the option to U-Turn a team. John & Murray used the U-Turn on Sally & Tyson. Since Sally & Tyson completed the Climb Up Detour, they would be forced to backtrack and complete the Drill Down Detour before continuing.

"Who's more likely to clam up?"

The assigned team member must have to travel to a marked area on Chicken Island, where one team member had to dive down to the sea floor and retrieve a golden clam with a pearl, which contained their next clue.

The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:

Teams must make their way by long-tail boat to Ko Poda to check in.
For coming in first place, John & Murray won two tickets from Virgin Australia & Etihad Airways to one of their European destinations and A$5,000.
