Season 3 of The White Lotus may have just ended–with a finale fans are still buzzing about–but the popular HBO show about luxury wellness retreats gone wrong is notorious for impacting travel and wellness trends long after the credits roll.
As reported by the BBC, previous seasons of The White Lotus, set in Maui and Sicily, have made their on-screen locations must-see travel destinations, spiking bookings for the resorts featured in the show as well as flights and tourism overall for these exotic getaways. With season 3 set in Thailand, a new summer travel trend of Thai vacations is likely on the rise. Expedia already agrees, having named Krabi, a hidden gem of an island just a boat ride away from Phuket, one of its trending detour destinations of 2025.
It’s a great time to stock up on Thai travel guides, cookbooks, and wellness titles for soon-to-be travelers looking for their own White Lotus-inspired experience. Get ahead of this summer trend, and create a display with our curated White Lotus title list!
