‘The White Lotus’ Season 3 Will Be Set in Thailand (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comThe White Lotus” is heading to Thailand, multiple sources close to the production tell Variety. As the first two seasons of Mike White’s “The White Lotus” were shot at Four Seasons resorts in Hawaii and Italy, respectively, it’s possible that Season 3 will take place at one of the luxury hotel giant’s four properties in Thailand, which are located in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Koh Samui and the Golden Triangle.
Thailand’s Four Seasons resorts are spread across the city, country, jungle and beach, giving White plenty of settings to play with, if he so chooses.
HBO declined to comment. White had previously hinted that Season 3 may take place in Asia and focus on “death and Eastern religion and spirituality.” “The first season kind of highlighted money, and then the second season is sex,” White said in a clip pegged at the end of the Season 2 finale. “I think the third season would be maybe a satirical and funny look at death and Eastern religion and spirituality.
It feels like it could be a rich tapestry to do another round at White Lotus.” Production on Season 3 has yet to begin, as sources say White has been spending time in Thailand scoping out sites.
