Back on January 9, 2024, the Tourism Authority of Thailand announced that the next installment of the Emmy-winning series will be filmed in Thailand. Here are the key locations where the series was shot:
Ko Samui
The primary location for filming the third season of The White Lotus was the Ko Samui island of the Surat Thani Province. The beautiful island known for its beaches, parties, and luxury resorts provided a perfect setting for all the action and drama that the show is known for.
The production used the Four Seasons Resort and Antara Resorts and converted them into The White Lotus Resort. Speaking about her experience filming The White Lotus season 3, Aimee Lou Wood told Yahoo UK,
"I wanna go back, not working, because it did feel like The Truman Show, social experiment vibes lot of the times. And so, I would like to go back there just on a holiday. That would be nice."
Bangkok and Phuket
Some scenes were also shot in the major cities of Phuket and Bangkok, both of which are global tourism destinations. Bangkok is one of the most traveled cities in the world, whereas Phuket is known for its beaches and scenery.
The filming was done in the Mandarin Oriental of Bangkok and Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas in Phuket.
