The Four Seasons has several buildings located in Thailand, including Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Koh Samui and the Golden Triangle.
Fans will be eager to see the next batch of awkward and interesting guests and hotel staff to grace our screens.
We've already been blessed with internet-viral moments from the first two seasons and everyone wants to know where the show will go next.
Series creator Mike White has already hinted that the third instalment would be located in Asia.
During a segment for season two's finale, White said: "The first season highlighted money, and then the second season is sex.
“I think the third season would be maybe a satirical and funny look at death and Eastern religion and spirituality.”
To be fair, that could loads of different places.
Executive producer David Bernad also told Deadline last month: "We’ve tried to work in Asia a lot and hopefully season three will be our chance to make something happen there.
Variety says Mike has been to various places in Thailand to find the perfect filming locations for the show.
The White Lotus had an incredible run during the 2023 awards season.
It picked up a whopping 10 Emmy Awards and the star of season two, Jennifer Coolidge, went viral for her acceptance speech where she praised Mike White.
“Mike White, you’ve given me hope,” she said.
"Even if this is the end, you've changed my life in a million different ways. My neighbours are speaking to me, things like that.
"I mean it, I was never invited to one party on my hill, and now everyone's inviting me!
"If you don't know Mike White, this is what you should know: He's worried about the world, he's worried about people, he's worried about friends of his that aren't doing well.
"He really is one of the greatest people I've ever - he gives me so much excitement."
Don't expect to see her in season three however after her tragic demise at the end of the second instalment.
There's not even a whiff of when we can expect to see the next season drop so we'll have to wait for that update.
