Chuay Jai (ช่วยใจ) is the merged tribe of Chuay Gahn and Sook Jai from Survivor: Thailand. Their tribe color is gold.
The smallest merged tribe Survivor history, Chuay Jai was formed with only eight members following a Fake Merge six days prior. The advent of the merge also marked the extinction of the former Sook Jai tribe, which entered the merge with a 5-3 deficit.
