Trivia

• Bayon's sigil is based from Ganesh, the Hindu elephant god.
• Bayon is the first magenta starting tribe and the second overall, following Soliantu from Marquesas.
  • Because Bayon is the first starting tribe of its color, it is also the third of three starting tribes of all-returning players seasons to not have any of its members start out on a tribe of the same color in their previous season(s), after Chapera in All-Stars and Bikal in Caramoan.
• Monica Padilla is the only castaway to be voted out from Bayon, as well as the only original Bayon member to be voted out pre-merge.
• Abi-Maria Gomes is the only castaway to reach the merge to have never been on Bayon.
• Bayon holds the record for the highest number of original members to reach the merge, with 9, and also the highest in terms of percentage among seasons that started with two tribes, with 90% of their original members making the merge.
  • The Nuku tribe later tied this feat in Game Changers.
• Jeremy Collins, Kimmi Kappenberg, and Stephen Fishbach are the only three castaways to stay on Bayon after both tribe switches.
• Post-merge Reward Challenge teams that used Bayon's color were referred to as "purple" instead of "magenta" or "pink", for unknown reasons.
• If The Outcasts from Pearl Islands are considered to have been an official tribe, Bayon and Ta Keo are the 99th and 100th tribes in Survivor history.
• The location of the Bayon camp is in the same place as the Gondol camp in Kaôh Rōng. The beach is known as Bai Cheap Bay.
• Bayon is the second tribe to have their Hidden Immunity Idol hidden at an Immunity Challenge, following Ta Keo. It would be followed by Tavua and Tiva.
