Survivor: Thailand

Survivor: Thailand is the fifth season of the American CBS competitive reality television series Survivor. The season was filmed from June 10, 2002 through July 18, 2002 on the island of Ko Tarutao in Thailand, and premiered on September 19, 2002. Hosted by Jeff Probst, it consisted of the usual 39 days of gameplay with 16 competitors.

The two initial tribes were Chuay Gahn (Thai:ช่วยกัน "to help one another") and Sook Jai (สุขใจ "happy heart"). They eventually merged into the Chuay Jai tribe when eight contestants remained. The season introduced several new gameplay twists. The first occurred on Day 1, when the two eldest contestants, Belinda Gregory and Edward Opie, were given the power to pick their own tribes. This was the first time in Survivor history that the two initial teams were not preselected by the producers. The second was an offer of mutiny on Day 14: each of the twelve remaining contestants were given the chance to leave their tribe and join the other if they wished, though no one took the offer. The third was the fake merge: with ten players remaining, the two tribes moved onto one beach. They took this to signify a merge, but at the next challenge they were informed that they were living on one beach, but not yet merged.

The complete season was released on DVD exclusively through Amazon on October 25, 2011.

The winner of this season was TBA, who defeated TBA by a vote of TBA.

This season was preceded by Survivor: Marquesas and followed by Survivor: The Amazon.
