Tarutao News

[mrtfreak]

i was wondering, when they were filming survivor: thailand on koh torutao, did they employ any thais to work for them?

also, did the tourist economy of thailand increase after the airing of the series?

what did local thais make of the game?

was it shown on TV in thailand itself?
