Amazing Race Bangkok

Our Amazing Race Bangkok took teams from IMS across this chaotic city using various forms of transportation. Negotiating a price for a Tuk Tuk (infamous three wheeled car) teams made there way to the Chao Praya (River of Kings) which flows through the heart of Bangkok, to solve their first challenge. Following this; teams traveled to various locations around the city; taking the Sky Train to pay their respects at the Erawan Shrine, enter one of the biggest shopping malls in Asia to do a little team work shopping, take the underground train to attempt even more challenges, solve puzzles in Lumphini Park and end with a pedal boat race around the lake! And throughout the heat of this full day event; one team still managed to jog back to the hotel!
