17	Vom Regen in die Traufe	2026-04-16
Die Fluten machen einige Grenzen unpassierbar. Jerry und Kodiak versuchen ihr Glück in Richtung Surat Thani, während Falk und Adrian Richtung Singapur unterwegs sind. JP und Essow wollen an die malaysische Grenze, sind allerdings körperlich am Limit. Auch in den Teams Magda und Franz sowie Helge und OT beginnt nicht nur der Kampf mit den Fluten, sondern auch mit eigenem Körper und Geist.
16	Stand-Up in Bangkok	2026-04-12
Während Jerry und Kodiak versuchen mit Stand-up und Rucksack-Service sich ein paar Taler zu verdienen, sind Magda und Franz, JP & Essow ganz in der Nähe auf der gleichen Mission. Falk und Adrian sind wie immer volle Fahrt voraus, während Hellge und OT sich auf den Weg aus Bangkok raus machen.
15	Wettrennen	2026-04-09
Franz und Magda realisieren, dass eine frühere Begegnung folgenschwerer war als angenommen. Während in Thailand ein Treffen der ganz besonderen Art stattfindet, kommen Falk und Adrian vom Regen in die Traufe.

14	Die Flut	2026-04-05
In dieser Folge sind Adrian & Falk zum ersten Mal mit dem Hochwasser konfrontiert. Jerry zeigt uns derweil sein Gesangstalent und rührt Kodiak damit zu Tränen.

13	Hauptsache schnell!	2026-04-02
Während Jerry sich netterweise opfert, mit zwei Damen in einem Bett zu nächtigen, macht Kodiak es sich auf dem Boden des Hostels bequem.

Nachdem ein paar Teams bereits die größere Hürde der ersten Grenze geschafft haben, stecken ein paar Nachzügler immer noch in Vietnam fest.

Der Wettlauf gegen die Zeit - und die Konkurrenz - beginnt.
6	Abandoned in Vietnam	2026-03-08
