The White Lotus in Thailand: Uncover the Glamour Behind the Screen

HBO’s hit series The White Lotus has transported viewers to some of the most luxurious and iconic destinations, from Sicily to Hawaii. Season 3, set in the stunning landscapes of Thailand, raises the bar with breathtaking scenery, opulent settings, and all the intrigue fans have come to expect. If you’ve ever dreamed of living out your own White Lotus experience—minus the drama, of course—Thailand is the perfect place to do it.

Here’s how you can follow in the footsteps of the show while enjoying all the indulgence Thailand has to offer.

The Star Location: Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui

The heart of The White Lotus Season 3 is the luxurious Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui, a five-star property on the island’s northwestern tip. Opened in 2007, this sprawling resort spans over 40 acres of a former coconut plantation, retaining 856 coconut trees for an authentic tropical vibe.

Fans will recognize signature features like the tranquil water hammocks that float just off the beach, accessible exclusively to hotel guests. The Koh Thai Kitchen restaurant serves as a culinary centerpiece, while the Spirit House, a small prayer room, adds a serene touch. Look out for the quirky monkey statues scattered throughout the property, a whimsical detail that plays a dramatic role in the show.

Secondary Filming Locations on Koh Samui

The magic of The White Lotus goes beyond the resort. Key scenes were filmed at iconic spots across Koh Samui, including:

Wat Pu Khao Thong, a Buddhist monastery on the island’s north coast, where characters find moments of reflection amid the show’s chaos.
Choeng Mon Beach, a secluded gem on the northeastern peninsula.
Haad Rin Beach on neighboring Koh Phangan, famous for its Full Moon Party, which serves as a vibrant backdrop in the series.
Fisherman’s Village, known for its bustling night market, featured in lively party scenes and the Songkran water fight—an exuberant annual Thai Festival.

Café Del Mar on Kamala Beach, the chic beachfront venue where the girl group parties.
