Leaving the shores of Sicily, season three of HBO’s White Lotus is being filmed in Thailand. If you’re dreaming of a stylish beach vacation White Lotus style (minus the murder, scams, and sleeping around), you’re in luck because Unforgettable Travel, a premier luxury travel company, has just launched a White Lotus Thailand tour from Bangkok to the stunning island of Koh Samui.

Due to labor disputes in Hollywood last year, the release date of the third season of White Lotus is likely to be delayed until 2025. But if you’d like to follow in the footsteps of your beloved characters with a backdrop to die for, you can join this seven-night tour between October and April.

Both season one (filmed in Hawaii) and season two (in Sicily) featured the luxury hotelier Four Seasons, so there’s a very good chance HBO will continue the partnership. There are four outposts of Four Seasons in Thailand — Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Koh Samui, and the Golden Triangle. Unforgettable Travel’s tour features two of the award winning properties.

The seven-day itinerary begins in Thailand’s capital, Bangkok where you will stay at Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok. Situated on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, the relatively new hotel is considered to be one of the best hotels in Bangkok. On-site, there are several restaurants and bars, including the acclaimed Thai restaurant Yu Ting Yuan. There is also a spa, a fitness center, and two swimming pools. The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood, but it is still close to all of the major tourist attractions in Bangkok.

But you won’t have to worry about planning your sightseeing. Day two will be jam-packed with a private tour of the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Wat Arun, and Chinatown, and numerous opportunities to sample some of the best street food in Bangkok and do some shopping. All excursions have English-speaking local guides and a private driver. In the afternoon, you’ll be welcomed to join a traditional private long-tail boat and cruise down the Chao Phraya River before returning to the comfort of your suite at the Four Seasons.

There will be ample time to explore Bangkok on your own, too. Day three allows for personal time before hopping on a speed boat towards the Chakrabongse Villa, where you’ll enjoy dinner with a spectacular view of the Temple of Dawn from the riverside terrace before exploring Old Town Bangkok before bed.

The tour includes domestic airfare to and from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport to the stunning island of Koh Samui.

This flight takes around an hour, and you’ll be chauffeured between your accommodations and airports by your private driver. In Koh Samui, you’ll be staying at the world-class Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui.
