It's confirmed! Season 8 of Koh Lanta, the French version of Mark Burnett's Survivor, will be at the beautiful Gota Beach located at the Caramoan Peninsula of Camarines Sur, Philippines.

Gota Beach was closed to the public for almost 3 months now and will remain close until the Survivor shooting ends. Livelihoods of some residents will be affected by this but the local government is happy for this will be an exposure to the islands and will boost up tourism.

It has been reported that the Koh Lanta crew has been in the islands for almost 3 months now, and they've constructed a number of cabanas for their living arrangements. These cabanas will be an added tourist attraction once the Survivor shooting is over.

This is not the first time that the makers of Koh Lanta have chosen Philippines as their survivor destination. The season 7 of Koh Lanta, which ended on October 2007, was in the Palawan islands. To watch the intro video of the last season, click here: Koh Lanta 7 Intro Video

It's reported that the arrival of the survivors and the airing of Koh Lanta 8 will be this coming June 2008.
