As work draws to a close on the Australian embassy in Laos, southeast Asia, the boys are left tired. The constant rioting outside has not helped, but after all, that's 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 unlucky in that department; Oz managed to get fruity with a PA from the embassy, but in the course of this romantic liaison he has received a rather embarrassing injury which makes it painful to sit down. As the lads debate their future, a letter arrives from Bomber: he has decided it is time to hang up his trowel for good and settle down with Paulie and Lainie. The lads realise that they are drifting apart as a group and decide to cap of their whole adventure with a blow out in Bangkok.
