And that’s Jasjit Assi, the general manager of the Four Seasons in Koh Samui, Thailand, where The White Lotus season three was filmed.
In season one, set at the fictional White Lotus in Hawaii, head honcho Armond (Murray Bartlett) enters a feud with a manchild guest so ruthless that one of them winds up in a body bag.
The White Lotus creator, Mike White, had been scouting locations from north to south of the country, but after receiving the Koh Samui resort welcome, he knew he’d found what he was searching for.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned from two seasons of the HBO smash hit The White Lotus, it’s that luxury resorts are intense, frenetic, and constantly surprising places to work.
The cast of the new season, including Jason Isaacs, Carrie Coon, Parker Posey, Leslie Bibb, Natasha Rothwell and Patrick Schwarzenegger, all stayed at the resort throughout filming, which costs around $1,500 (£1,200) a night for a regular villa and $15,000 (£12,000) for a five-bedroom residence.
