The teams will race from northernmost Japan, crossing six seas and eight borders, through multiple countries, including Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Indonesia. Leaving behind their smartphones, internet access and bank cards, they will be armed only with the cash equivalent of the airfare from Sapporo to Lombok.

Cambodia to Thailand

This week our panel discuss the racer's 1,400 kilometre journey through Thailand, one of the most visited countries in the world, to the Shan Highlands that straddle the Thai-Myanmar border, where the fourth checkpoint is situated in the sleepy mountain town of Mae Sariang.

To reach the checkpoint, the teams must first circumnavigate the Tonle Sap Lake and decide whether to head west, taking on potentially faster routes, or opt for the eastern route, where lies Siem Reap, the gateway to Angkor Wat. But from there it’s a journey back in time through Thailand's rural eastern provinces, and a longer and circuitous route rarely travelled by backpackers. 

Around Cambodia

The perfect introductory tour, spend two weeks embracing Cambodia's complicated history and fascinating heritage whilst you cover all the highlights of this charming kingdom. Pay a visit to the tranquil waters of Tonle Sap and Battambang as featured in this episode.

Past Episodes

Week 1 - Japan

Week one saw the teams racing from Sapporo, the capital city of Hokkaido, over 1,600 kilometers south to the ancient capital of Nara. with multiple routes to choose from, a huge language barrier to oevrcome and travelling through one of the most expensive countries in the world, this week really tested the teams skills, ingenuity and determination.

Week 2 - Japan to South Korea

Week two saw the teams crossing their first border into South Korea and travelling the length of the country to reach the second checkpoint in the seaside town of Sokcho. In the Wu Crew Jimmy is not happy with someone's queue jumping and Jen thinks Brydie and Sharon need to get a move on!

Week 3 - Vietnam to Cambodia

The teams enter Southeast Asia for the first time, starting the third leg from the chaotic Vietnamese capital Hanoi. They must race over 2,000km through Vietnam and into the Kingdom of Cambodia to reach one of the fastest-developing cities in South East Asia – Phnom Penh.
