Production

Development and filming

Filming for this season began in early 2015.

This season was the first time an ''Amazing Race'' franchise visited the nation of Laos, a country which was not visited by the original American edition until Season 31 four years later, as the international destination for the season.

This season saw modifications for the penalties in a non-elimination leg. While the usual stripping of money penalty remained, the "Marked for Elimination" penalty increased from 30 minutes to 45 minutes with the exception of Leg 2, which remained at 30 minutes. This is currently the only season in the Vietnamese edition where the U-Turn was absent.

Cast

Like the past two seasons, the cast mainly featured celebrity teams; however, this season also included non-celebrity teams, who were dubbed as "fans". This season also featured the lowest number of teams with eight, which tied with ''The Amazing Race China'', which also featured eight celebrity teams.

Future appearances

Đăng Hoàng Phạm Ngô and Thùy Anh Nguyễn, and Phạm Thị "Song Ngư" Diễm Chi and Trúc Như Nguyễn Vũ, as well as Thúc Lĩnh "Lincoln" Dương Hồng who competed on a composite team, later returned in the fifth season which aired the following year. Ngọc Anh & Nhật Anh appeared in a task during the tenth leg of the same season.

;Notes

# Song Ngư & Trúc Như initially arrived 6th, but were issued a 15-minute penalty for not riding in an officially licensed taxi. This did not affect their placement.
# Băng Di & Trang Pháp initially arrived 4th, but were issued a 30-minute penalty for being "marked for elimination" and not arriving 1st.

# Đăng Hoàng & Thùy Anh and Tim & Anh Đức were each issued 15-minute penalties for damaging the base of their Hmong horn. At that time they were the only two teams left to check in at that point, but because Tim & Anh Đức were issued another penalty (see note 5), Đăng Hoàng & Thùy Anh's placement moved up to 7th, and their 15-minute penalty would instead be assessed at the start of the next leg.

The last three teams trailing them (Đăng Hoàng & Thùy Anh, Nam Thành & Hải Băng and Băng Di & Trang Pháp) checked-in during the penalty time, dropping Tim & Anh Đức to last place and resulting in their elimination.
# Nhật Anh & Ngọc Anh used their Express Pass to bypass the money-making challenge on Leg 5.
# Song Ngư & Trúc Như did not complete the money-making challenge at Luang Prabang Night Market and were issued a 2-hour penalty before receiving their next clue.
# Because Ngọc Anh & Nhật Anh finished 1st, their 45-minute "marked for elimination" penalty was nullified.
# Phương Ly & Joo Young did not complete the task at Thoi Loi Mountain and were issued a 2-hour penalty before receiving their next clue.
# Băng Di & Trang Pháp failed the task at Tran Phu High School twice, so they forfeited their opportunity to choose between their next clue and the suitcase with money.
