I heard that It'll be the Amazon.
Hopefully we'll be watching Disco and Moonie on it too!

It's official. Survivor V will be in Thailand. On an island with lots of monkeys (Stephanie will like that!!) turtles, snakes, dolphins and whales. The island is closed from May till Nov. so that's when they're going to film it. It will be out next fall. YIPEEEEE!! There goes my fall after my summer is gone with BB3!!

The National Park is made up of 51 islands. KOH TARUTAO is the island they will be on.

From the second site
"The beaches are nice, although the water off Aow pante is generally too cloudy for snokelling and is notorious for its snaffles."

What the heck are snaffles?

'Survivor' gets green light


Published on Apr 12, 2002


The Film Board and other relevant agencies have given their approval to CBS to film its fourth season of "Survivor" on Tarutao Island National Reserve

A Film Board committee meeting yesterday, which included representatives from the Tourism Authority of Thailand, the Public Relations Department, the Royal Forestry Department and other government offices, granted the "Survivor" crew permission to shoot in Thailand. The committee approved the project despite fears that the production could result in a repeat of the filming of "The Beach", during which the production crew allegedly damaged the environment.

Although PM's Office Minister Somsak Thepsuthin, who oversees tourism-related issues, had previously endorsed "Survivor", yesterday was the first time official approval had been given. The government is forming a committee to discuss the production with CBS, as well as to develop measures to protect the island.

The production team will stay in the Forestry Department's lodgings on Tarutao Island. Only the show's 16 competitors will be allowed to stay in the island's forest area, Film Board director Sidhichai Jayant said.

"It is comforting to know that the number of competitors will be reduced one by one as the game progresses, meaning that there will be fewer people in the forest as the days go by," he said.

"Survivor" competitors eliminate one member of the group every few days until there is only one left.

Filming is loosely set for July, although the exact dates have yet to be confirmed. The local provincial and tambon administrative organisations, as well as Tarutao National Reserve, have already been informed of the production.

"There have so far been no objections or resistance to the project," Sidhichai said.

The Film Board plans to invite environmental non-governmental organisations to discuss procedures and provide advice.

Successfully hosting "Survivor" will help Thailand lay the groundwork for future TV and movie productions, Sidhichai said.

One season of "Survivor" alone is expected to bring in revenues of as much as much as Bt200 million. "But the publicity will be priceless," said Sidhichai.

`Survivor' shoot boosts tourism on Tarutao


Publicity surrounding the shooting of Survivor Thailand on Tarutao island has boosted the number of visitors to the marine national park, according to Suthichai Siriyakosol, park chief.

Mr Suthichai said reports of the shoot, scheduled for June, had drawn 20,000 tourists to the island over the Songkran period, generating income of almost 100 million baht.

The park chief said he hoped the US reality show would serve to further raise public interest in Tarutao island.

He rejected the possibility of environmental damage, saying the filming would not require changes to the island's landscape. Filming would take place primarily at Makham and Son bays.

On the early show, Mark Burnett said that there is a BIG change in the way Survivor V starts out. Not like the other four. They made some other changes too, but no details, of course. I wonder what's in his evil little mind?

Jeep, maybe all 16 are dropped off and they have to decide amongst themselves who goes into which tribe? Think of the possibilities!

Kitty, that is exactly what I was thinking...instead of MB deciding, they get to choose up somehow...with all the politics and baggage that might bring with it.

Cool...let the spoiling begin!

I thought this too!!

I bet we won't see any pre-made tribes this time.

Maybe there won't be two tribes at all, just one big one.

I hope because this location is inside a national park that it will cut down on the ~Marsquesan press~ type leaks. (that were wrong most the time anyway)

And I hope Acme gets swallowed up in the ocean.

Two captains are picked and each get to choose their tribe... kind of like the kickball games on the playground:)
