Lan Xang

Lan Xang, often abbreviated to LX, is one of the 3 starting tribes in Survivor: Laos, Along with Mekong and Phou Bia. This tribe was insanely popular among fans, due to their underdog status as well as their challenge dominance.

Pre-Swap
In the opening twist, players were asked to choose a color, which would determine their tribe. However, since only 4 people chose green, Lan Xang had only four members: Brad, Is, Joe, and Nika. Early on, Joe and Nika made a final 2 deal, and Brad led them to victory in every challenge. Because of this, they never went to tribal council.

Post-Swap
During the swap, Nika, Joe, and Brad stayed on Lan Xang, while Is was left to fend for herself in Mekong. In addition, Ginger and Eli came from Phou Bia, and Chaz and Cool came from Mekong. The tribe was split into these three factions. However, the origional Mekong and Lan Xang alliances combined forces against Phou Bia and took out Ginger at the double tribal, as Eli was immune. After that, Cody returned from exile and joined Lan Xang. Eli was spared as Lan Xang won immunity, and Lan Xang merged with Mekong into the Bokeo tribe
