The pandas are disappointed they won't be able to stop and get some bamboo. Bella and Douglas attempt to get a flight through New Delhi, but remember that India is not a really safe place for American pets right now, so they will be flying through Singapore. Fancy Feast and Chef's Blend get a direct flight. Climber finally arrives at base camp three hours after she and Pinta were supposed to leave, covered with snow. She bids farewell to Sir Edmund, and the Brown County Cats are off. They are taking the next Hong Kong flight after the skunks and pandas, but even such are very far behind the other pairs.
But, before getting their room keys, each pair must play three
"Welcome to Bangkok, Thailand, formerly Siam!" says the world's best golfer whose every move is among the purest. "For finishing first in this leg, you'll be set up in the Somerset Maugham suite, Chef's Blend and Fancy Feast finish second. The skunks have some difficulty on the course because their tails get in the way, and the pandas overtake them to finish third. As expected, Climber and Pinta, the friendly Brown County Cats, come in last. "Climber and Pinta, I'm sorry, your team has been eliminated from the Amanxing Race", announces Phil Kiwi. Climber, though, is happy. She got to travel into thin air, and Pinta has enjoyed getting to know all of the racers. Written by Becky Banfield Next time, on THE AMANXING RACE: The Rising Sun greets the racers. Fancy Feast, Fancy Feast, she's the source of all our pain.

It's morning at the Mount Everest Base Camp, and the racers and their guests wake up to find their tents are covered with snow. Phil Kiwi peeks out of the tent, and to his surprise, he sees Climber following the world's most famous mountain climber on his morning walk up the mountain! Sir Edmund Hillary is surprised as well, but Climber stays with him as they ascend part of the world's highest peak. He points out the tree line and tells Climber all about when he became the first person to scale the summit nearly 50 years ago. 
and they receive their instructions: Go to the Kathmandu Airport and fly to Bangkok, Thailand. They catch a ride in a Land Rover, and are followed by their panda pals. Now it's time for Climber and Pinta to leave but - oh no! Climber is not back from her climb yet! Pinta gets upset and starts pacing around, twitching her tail. She meows as she watches Bella and Douglas, and then Fancy Feast and Chef's Blend, leave the base camp. Fancy Feast hisses at her. 
At the Bangkok Airport, Bella and Douglas have arrived before the Hong Kong pairs and seconds later, the Friskies spokescats meet up with them. Not much between this pair and ecstasy! Their assignment: Go to the Bangkok Golf Spa Resort which will be their Thai pad for one night in Bangkok. 
holes of miniature golf, using only their paws to get the balls in the holes. One member will do all the golfing. Fancy Feast sniffs at this. While Fancy Feast is sniffing, Bella and Douglas luck out and get an English-speaking cab driver who takes them right to the Club with F.F. and C.B. in hot pursuit. The skunks and pandas arrive at the airport and take off, but unfortunately the skunks' cab driver gets lost. It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity, to be looking for the golf course, not looking for the city. 
At the golf course, Bella chooses to play, and has no problem getting the ball through Yul Brynner's legs and in the elephant's trunk, but gets a little stuck on the giant chessboard hole. But Bella, who's had much practice playing ball games, completes the course and runs with Douglas to meet Tiger Woods who is holding a Siamese cat.
