Mike White, the creator of The White Lotus, serves as the executive producer and director. The show has been a hit for HBO, winning multiple Emmy Awards across its first two seasons. The collaboration with the Tourism Authority of Thailand for the third season aims to showcase the country’s picturesque locations while continuing the series’ critique of luxury and privilege.
