Synopsis.

As work draws to a close on the Australian embassy in Loas, Southern Africa, the boys are left tired. The constant riotting outside has not helped, but after all, thats the reason the embassy needed tarting up. Wyman has not enjoyed Laos. Nothing at all worth pulling. Not that all of the lads have been altogether unlucky. Oz managed to get fruity with a PA from the embassy, but in the course of this romantic liason, he has recieved a rather embarrassing injury which make it painful to sit down. As the lads debate their future, a letter arives from the Chokanaw reservation from Bomber. Bomber has decided its time to hang up his trowell for good and settle down in to the family life with Paulie and Lainie, whom he has grown to love dearly. The lads take at look at themselves and realise that they are drifting apart as a group, and decide to cap of their whole adventure with a blow out in Bankok.

Not one for carnal gratification, Barry opts to journey on the Orient Express. Neville decides to accompany him, much to Brenda's relief. But Barry has not been entirley honest with Neville. He has arranged to rendezvous with Tatiana as the two have been in touch and Tatiana seems keen to try again. Barry puts his smartest clothes on for the trip in order to impress her, but this turns out to be a mistake, as rebel's board the train, mistake Barry for a rich businessman and kidnap him. Neville must now regroup the lads for their final job. A trek through the jungle on Elephant back to rescue their friend from his captors. But along the way the lads soon reliase that the time is swiftly coming to go their seperate ways. For Moxey could it mean a move down under with his new Australian Beau? And Will they find Barry in good time?

Their task is made all the more difficult however as unbeknown to the lads, Tarquin Pearce has arrived in Thailand, and hellbent on revenge upon Neville!
