Sook Jai

Sook Jai (สุขใจ) was one of two competing tribes in Survivor: Thailand

Though on paper, Sook Jai were physically stronger and younger than their rival Chuay Gahn tribe, they were noted for their lack of togetherness resulting in successive eliminations. It is one of very few tribes to enter a merge with three people remaining. Their tribe color was purple.
