Details and Easter eggs may be missing in “White Lotus”

I am a Thai, I grew up in Bangkok and outside, and I remember American classmates mixing in Thailand and Taiwan.

That is why Parker Bossi said in the third season of “The White Lotus”, “Do you want to live in Taiwan?!” In response to her daughter’s plan to spend a public in Thailand, she felt.

The third season, which is mostly located in Koh Samawi and Bangkok, is integrated by nuances and clichés. As locally, some details have emerged in the offer that foreigners have missed.

The hotel’s personality depends on a real person

A known Thai actor, Lake Patravadi, the owner of the hotel, plays Sriala at the exhibition. The character was inspired by Kamala Sucosol, the Thailand Hotel in real life.

It is an essential player in the high Thai society and the Sucosol collection, and the 86 -year -old panel is known for its performance in jazz as it is in its award -winning hotels.

Its Boutique Hotel, SIAM, from the Chao PhRAYA River in Bangkok, was explored as a possible shooting site for the third season of “The White Lotus”.

In October, during an interview about “Trends” for TravellynewsSukosol said she met Mike White when he visited her hotel and talked to her about perhaps acting in the show.

He said, “Khon Kamala, do you act? “I said, in any way. I said, I am positive, I am a singer,” I told Sukosol David Barrett, the show. She continued to explain that White continued to try to persuade her for the next few months.

She said, “He wanted me to behave like me, as is the isolation of the singing hotel.”

In February, her hotel posted a picture on Instagram of Mike White with Patravadi and Sukosol. “⁣Step behind the scenes with John Kamala, heart and spirit Siam, whose legendary shows inspired Sriala in the white lotus season 3.”

Some of the lyrics are related to the view of the show

Thai graphic music for the third season of national domains includes more voices from all regions of the country. In many cases, the lyrics have confirmed or predicted what is happening after that.

Atchaniya Pinitsanpirom, Thai producer at the exhibition, told Business Insider that she originally sent the audio manager to a playlist of about 50 Tai Songs.

“I translated them when we saw the final pieces because I wanted to know this perfectly,” Pinitsanpirom said about matching the lyrics of the developments.

In Episode 7 of “The White Lotus”, Sriala Frank (Sam Rokuel) shows a video of the younger “Lamthad”, “Lamthad”. both of them The title of the song, as well as a type of popular rap in Thai. Lamthad is also a vehicle word – and “Thad” means cutting.

On television, the actor is shown in her younger years as she sings the word “extension” over and over again and cuts a hand -cutting movement. This matches well with the internal disorders of Rick (Walton Gugs) and a decision is about to.

The song also includes the phrase “Wing Gun UTLALOOD”, which translates into “running their donkeys” – which in turn line up with Rick and Frank’s actions in the episode.

The security guard does not speak Thai clearly

Security goalkeeper, Gaitok (Tayme Thapthimthong) has a foreign accent when he speaks Thai. This is because the actor was born and raised in the United Kingdom.

“When I speak Thai with others, I tend to throw English words when I cannot think of the Thai word in time. In one scene, I answered,” Yes, the team’s notes were, “Well, you have clearly revealed that you are not a Thai security guard!” Thai media site Standard pop last month.

I also found it so internationally that he did not photograph a shy security guard.

Lalisa Manobal, also known as BlackPink’s Lisa, plays the role of Mook, the love of the love guard who also works as a hotel employee. Thailand is well manufactured despite the move to South Korea when she was fourteen years old to become a K-Pop trainee.

Thanks to help him out with his lines. “Lisa helped me and help her a lot while I am really grateful for that,” he said.

There seems to be another character inspired by a US -born Thai businessman

While a lot of the show was filmed in KoH Samui, additional hotel scenes were filmed in three Anantara real estate in Phuket and KoH Samui.

This luxury hotels series is owned by Lilliam Heinsky, an American -born business pole, whose company, on its company, overlooks more than 500 hotels and resort.

The “Minor” name is suitable – Heinecke started an advertising company and a office cleaning company in Bangkok at the age of 17. It later abandoned his American nationality to become Thai, a step that allows him to own the land in Thailand.

With a net value of $ 1.5 billion, Heinecke 17 occupied the Forbes’ list 2024 from the 50 richest in Thailand.

Although Heinecke is unmarried from SUKOSOL in real life, his character appears to have affected the character of the American Sriala, Jim Hollinger.

“I think Mike Drew is one of the many prominent people like Jim Thompson and William Hyaynick. This character is a mixture of all these shapes,” Pinitsanpirom, The show producer said.

Jim Thompson was an American businessman who revived the silk industry in Thailand in the mid -twentieth century and mysteriously disappeared in Malaysia in the 1960s.

Details of two in the offer did not add up

During the scene group In Samui, Lochlan Ratlif (Sam Nivola) says that a tsunami occurred on a near beach. However, the 2004 tsunami only affected West Thailand The coast, including Foucape. Samawi on the eastern coast of Thailand and was not affected by Tsunami.

In one of the episodes, Rick and Chelsea (Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood) holds a ride on Tuk-Tok to a snake farm. However, unlike other parts of Thailand, Tuk-Toks is not a common means of transportation on Samui. Due to many mountainous roads on the island, the three -wheeled vehicles are not perfect. Instead, Songthaews – shared truck cars – is the most typical way to wrap.

Commenting on these details, Pinitsanpirom said: “It is impossible to be 100 % accurate, but in the end, realistic inaccuracy is not very stop. In terms of narration, Rick and Chelsea are in a hurry to go out, but using a taxi would be very boring. We had to think about visual images and give Tu-Tok more dramatic.”
