The White Lotus is great TV. But it’s not an accurate portrayal of how the super-rich vacation or how the staff treat them
Like most of the world, I have been hooked on the third season of The White Lotus. But with one added attraction: Having stayed at the Four Seasons Koh Samui (where the show is mainly set), I take particular pleasure in identifying familiar locations. For instance, the villa I stayed in with my husband is featured, as is the restaurant where we ate most of our meals.
Ultra-rich guests hardly use the common pool, as The White Lotus S3 suggests.
The show is set in Four Seasons Koh Samui.In real life, hotel staff have their own quarters. But in the show, spa manager Belinda got a villa to herself.
