Survivor Enderron: Thailand is the eighth season of the Enderronian competitive reality television series Survivor Enderron. Filming took place on the island of Ko Lanta Yai, Thailand from TBA to TBA 2015. The season premiered on TBA 2016, and aired weekly until the live finale on TBA 2016.
The 18 contestants were initially separated into two tribes: Pattaya and Samui (named after beaches in Thailand). The tribes were selected through a schoolyard pick started by the two eldest contestants, Jo Clay and Tommy Seidell. This was the first time in Survivor Enderron history that the initial tribes were not preselected by the producers. When ten contestants remained, the two tribes merged into the Roem Mai tribe (Thai for "new beginning"). 
In the final episode, Alex Rodriguez was named the "Sole Survivor", defeating Danielle Cartwright and Joshua Otiende in a 4–2–1 vote.

==Season summary==
The players were divided into tribes by a schoolyard pick started by the two eldest players, Jo and Tommy; this was the first time in series history that the tribes were not preselected. On Pattaya, which consisted mostly of younger players, a majority alliance formed between Alex, Danielle, Erin, Joshua and Maddie. Samui became divided between the older and younger players, led by Jo and Jason respectively. Despite Pattaya's obvious physical advantage, the two tribes fared equally in challenges thanks to Samui's more effective teamwork, and by the final twelve remained level with six members apiece.
A tribe swap on Day 13 moved three members from either tribe to the other; Alex, Danielle and Erin moved from Pattaya to Samui, swapping places with Jason, Mack and Piper. The new Samui proved much weaker than the new Pattaya. Outsider Sean was eliminated at the post-swap Samui's first tribal council, which gave original Pattaya members a majority on Samui. Danielle and Erin struck a plan to throw the next immunity challenge on purpose to ensure the original Pattaya alliance would enter the merge with a majority. Sure enough, Samui lost the challenge and voted out original Samui member Rebecca.
The tribes merged on Day 19, with the original Pattayas holding a 6–4 advantage. The Pattaya core alliance promptly began systematically voting out the Samui alliance, with Ness and Jason leaving in quick succession. With just Mack and Piper remaining against an alliance of six, the two scrambled to find cracks in the Pattaya alliance. Mack, predicting the Pattayas would split their votes between himself and Piper, used a hidden immunity idol he found earlier in the game as leverage to convince Joshua, perceived to be at the bottom of the alliance, to flip and blindside Tommy. However, things did not go to plan when Piper, in an attempt at self-preservation, threw Mack under the bus and joined the Pattaya alliance in voting for him. Mack used his idol as planned, while Tommy also revealed and played an idol, nullifying both men's votes and resulting in Piper's inadvertent elimination in a 2–0–0 vote. With revelation of Joshua's wavering loyalty, the Pattaya alliance began to crumble. Mack utilised the paranoia and distrust within the alliance to sway the vote against its own members, resulting in the alliance self-cannibalising and voting out Maddie and Tommy. At the final five, Mack won individual immunity, forcing the Pattayas to once again turn on each other. Joshua became the swing vote between the tight pair of Alex and Danielle, and Erin and Mack; Joshua sided with the former to eliminate Erin. Mack was finally voted out after narrowly losing the final four immunity challenge to Joshua.
Alex, Danielle and Joshua made up the final three. Joshua was lambasted for his incessant flip-flopping and perceived social immaturity, and was mostly ignored by the jury. Alex and Danielle were recognised as the leading strategic pair of the season, and were commended for their control of the game, especially after their alliance self-destructed. Alex was criticised for his arrogance and laziness around camp, while Danielle was criticised for giving several jury members false hope, betraying her alliance members, and not owning her game. In the end, Alex's better jury management and social game gave him the edge, leading to his 4–2–1 victory over Danielle and Joshua, respectively.
