The White Lotus · Filming location
Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort
In the story · Season 3, episode 2 ('Special Treatments', the robbery) and throughout
A real filming location, and part of the season 3 White Lotus. The Thai-style lobby, the tree-lined driveway, the security post and the hotel's jewellery shop were filmed here: Gaitok, a gentle young security guard, works at the gate, and armed men rob the shop. It is a real hotel that anyone can book.
