by

In a captivating turn, the critically acclaimed Season 3 of The White Lotus transports viewers to the enchanting landscapes of Thailand, showcasing some of the country’s most breathtaking high-end resorts.

In the third season of “The White Lotus,” a fresh set of characters take center stage, including beloved figure Belinda (Natasha Rothwell), along with Patrick Schwarzenegger, Blackpink’s Lisa, Michelle Monaghan, Carrie Coon, and Jason Isaacs. The narrative unfolds as these affluent vacationers grapple with personal dilemmas and moral quandaries amidst the picturesque, spiritually rich setting of Thailand, heavily influenced by Buddhism.

The chosen setting plays a crucial role, as it contrasts the materialism of the West with the spirituality of the East. Notable resorts within this setting are the Four Seasons on Koh Samui, Anantara Bophut, Anantara Lawana, and Anantara Mai Khao Phuket.

Filming occurs at various high-end resorts. The Four Seasons Resort on Koh Samui serves as the principal filming location, featuring the sprawling Ratliff family villa, which offers in-villa chefs, panoramic ocean views, and a private hideaway. Meanwhile, Anantara Bophut is utilized for key facilities like the security checkpoint, lobby, jewelry store, and staff parking area. (Hollywood Reporter)

During filming, warm and private bar and eatery sequences are taken at Anantara Lawana, while in Phuket, the transformation and exploration motifs of the show unfold within the spa and wellness facilities of Anantara Mai Khao.

Beyond the tourist resorts, gunfire persisted in Bangkok’s iconic sites such as the Grand Palace and Michelin-starred eateries. The unique setting of the show has left an indelible impression on its cast members, who extol Thailand’s warm hospitality and vibrant culture.

In Thailand, there’s an often-repeated trait that I found to be genuinely accurate: a sense of gentleness. This gentleness and kindness is not exclusive to the hospitality industry; it can be found everywhere among Thai people. It’s impossible to ignore, and it leaves a heartwarming impression. Isaacs shared this observation with the media outlet.

Just like other popular seasons, HBO’s show might cause an increase in tourism, as viewers are drawn to visit the locations portrayed on screen, captivated by the stunning visuals they have come to admire.

The White Lotus Season 3 is now streaming on Max.
