From Hawaii, to Sicily, to Southeast Asia: ‘The White Lotus’ is continuing to film in picturesque travel locations with its upcoming third season set in Thailand.

News of the season’s location was first reported by Variety.

The show’s creator/writer/director Mike White previously teased that the series would be moving to Asia but had not specified an exact country.

'The first season kind of highlighted money, and then the second season is sex,' White said in a clip broadcast on HBO following the season 2 finale in December 2022. '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.'

Since its release in 2021, 'The White Lotus' has achieved critical acclaim, earning numerous Emmys, Golden Globes, and SAG Awards for both seasons.
