Episode synopsis
The remaining six Teams departed from Wat Pho, the temple of the Reclining Buddha, which was the Pit Stop from the previous leg of The Amazing Race Asia. The Teams were to travel to Krabi in Southern Thailand to find their next clue. Joe Jer & Zabrina were the last team to depart and had the additional penalty of not having any money because they finished last in the previous leg. Fortunately, the other teams had left them enough money to get to the bus terminal and buy bus tickets - and once they got there, Joe Jer & Zabrina begged some kind strangers for financial help. In southern Thailand the teams hit the beach, but not in a fun way, as physical challenges from coconut smashing to rock climbing stood in their way.
