Mark and Michael switch places. Tammy and Victor, however, do not. Before you know it, Mark pulls Michael into the park, where they spot a familiar Amazing Arrow sign that indicates a marked path. As they go deeper into the park, Mark talks about how he'd be willing to pay the cabbie anything for the guided tour he gave them. Of course he doesn't say that they would have gotten lost without them, which they might or might not have done, because that would have indicated that he is anything other than awesome. Victor has had to slow to a walk. "I don't like saying this," he pants, "but my sister is a little heavy." Also, your tires are flat, Mario Andretti.
Cara and Jaime de-cab at the temple, and they send Sak to wait for them at the park before Jaime starts pulling the rickshaw. "Come HERE!" she bellows at some bystander she wants to get directions from. He either doesn't know or doesn't understand what she's asking or doesn't feel like helping after being summoned like a poorly trained dog, so the cheerleaders head off in one direction and hope for the best. Perhaps further along their way they'll encounter some locals who love to help assholes.
Margie and Luke are also on their way shortly thereafter, with Luke pulling and Margie riding. That seems like a reasonable division of labor. At first.
Mark and Michael reach the clue box, which is directing them to the next Pit Stop, Wat Thep Nimit Temple. "This temple, best known for housing a piece of the Buddha's remains, is the Pit Stop for this leg of the Race," Phil tells us from the wide-open grounds. "The last team to check in here may be eliminated." Mark and Michael head back to their cab, Mark keeping up a steam of nonsense the whole way. "Scooty-booty," he says to their driver, which brings even Michael up short for a moment. But then Michael high-fives Mark for a job well done. It's probably easier for him to just pretend that Mark is a normal person than try to deal with the weirdo he actually is.
Kisha and Jen's driver has found their way around to another area of Pae Yod, one with actual fish and marked boats. They board one, and Jen climbs to the roof while Kisha gets right to work handing the empty barrels up to her. Mel and Mike are still en route, and Mike isn't reassured by their driver hollering into his cell phone. "Sir, we're in a rush," he says helplessly. "Because of you being stupid," he fails to add.
