We’ve been fortunate enough to snag an invite to attend the premiere and afterparty of The White Lotus Season 3 in Thailand – here’s what we think about this star-studded experience.
A Thailand premiere for The White Lotus Season 3 was inevitable. After all, the season was shot here and the cast includes some prominent Thai actors including the acting debut of the nation’s pride and joy, Lisa. A riot would have ensued if a premiere hadn’t happened here.
Fortunately, Lifestyle Asia had the honour of being invited to the event and afterparty—and a little special gathering after, and I was all there for it. Fans were cheering. Lisa was stunning. Lucius Malfoy was actually funny? Allow me to take you through what was running through my head as I went to the absolutely bonkers The White Lotus Season 3 premiere in Thailand.
Thoughts we had at The White Lotus Season 3 premiere in Thailand
-
- Bangkok really chose to be this hot, on this day.
- The decor and the green carpet are legit. And to think Lisa herself is going to be walking down the very same carpet along with a Hollywood A-list cast—in Bangkok?
- There’s a farang that just asked security if he could cut through the whole event and basically walk on the green carpet to get to the other side of Iconsiam. Legend.
- Okay, it’s really hot.
- Alright, here we go. Celebs are making their way down the carpet.
- Dang, that’s bright. Not, I don’t mean it’s bright, I mean it’s the Thai actor Bright.
- A boat has just arrived and fans are going crazy. Could it be?
- It is: it’s Lisa! Kinda surprising that she’s the first to arrive.
- She’s as pretty and cute as you’d think she’d be.
- And she’s doing a great job keeping mum about anything spoilery.
- The rest of the Thai cast are here: Tayme Thapthimthong, Dom Hetrakul, and Lek Patravadi!
- Dom is rocking that Jim Thompson outfit. Khru Lek is an icon. Tayme is wearing… a turtleneck!? In this heat!? I hope he’s okay.
- Hold up, Lucius Malfoy himself is here. Jason Isaacs is walking the carpet!
- He’s actually pretty goofy and hilarious IRL.
- The rest of the Ratliff family are here: Patrick Schwarzenegger, Parker Posey, Sarah Catherine Hook, and Sam Nivola, all decked to the nines.
- Belinda! Natasha Rothwell is here! If Belinda dies this season, I swear…
- The sun’s already set and it’s time to finally watch the first episode of Season 3.
- What’s that on my shoe?
- The White Lotus on a big screen. Let’s do this.
- Overall thought for the first episode: intriguing. Now to hop on a boat to the Four Seasons.
- I feel like I’m in the opening of the show. Hopefully, no one dies tonight.
- The air is so nice… Wait, I forgot about the pollution.
- Fireworks! Dang, they’re really pulling out all the stops.
- WAS THAT SHOWRUNNER AND CREATOR MIKE WHITE I JUST BUMPED INTO!?
- This party is rocking. It’s so crowded. Surely Lisa isn’t here.
- Omg she’s right there in the VIP section just chilling.
- Appropriately, the one and only Pangina Heals slays with a surprise performance.
- What is this wristband they gave us? And why are they telling us to head over to BKK Social Club?
- Oh, is this the after afterparty?
- Surely Lisa and none of the cast are here with us peasants.
- Nope, there’s Lisa, chilling in a booth. And so is Patrick Schwarzenegger. Natasha Rothwell is casually chatting away with Jason Isaacs. What is this night?
- Music’s swelling, someone’s going to perform… Omg, Sophie Ellis-Bextor!? Like, the Sophie Ellis-Bextor who sang “Murder on the Dance Floor” that Sabrina Carpenter’s ex danced to in Saltburn?
- Jason Isaacs is now dancing and grooving with all of us. WHAT IS THIS NIGHT.
- I went to the restroom and casually bumped into and spoke to Tayme Thapthimthong who is the nicest human being ever.
- I’m going to need a few days to process all this. Maybe a getaway to a luxury resort?
The White Lotus Season 3’s first episode premieres on February 17 on Max
