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.
