Well, that was quite a run. 257 days on location with 129 shooting days entirely in Thailand. More episodes and in my opinion - a more interesting setting to showcase the great cast. Scott Glenn and Walton G are incredible people. Mike White is as advertised. There are some surprise appearances as well.

If you are a fan already, you shouldn’t be disappointed come early 2025.

The great thing about the production is for the most part, the cast and crew all stay at the “White Lotus” (we had three for one) , so you see everyone all the time. Walton is just that guy - friendly, a bit crazy, partied a bit and loves talking with fellow southerners.

That’s awesome man. Almost a year on location in Thailand, wow.

Can’t wait for it to come out.

Thanks guys …. It was my first run with the show and came about from my extensive Thai production experience. Mike and the team welcomed me into their tight knit circle.

I left November 29th and returned Saturday …. A long time from friends and family, but obviously a great gig and experience.

They have months of editing, but I’ve seen all the dailies and it will be a good ride next year.

So... if you could get your hands on those and go ahead and post them here, that'd be awesome. Thanks!

Just make sure to put "Spoilers" in the title.... that'll make everything okay.

You didn't have any problems paying for your incidentals did you? Just read an article where Goggins got his hotel bill and his first reaction was to laugh at how much he owed.

They need color grading ! The teaser trailer got lambasted for the yellow filter look …. I hope they fix this and get it into the blues and greens of Thailand.

It’s no secret, but the main stand in for the WL was the Four Seasons, Koh Samui. We shut it down for two months. Unreal spend and control.

That must have been the Four Seasons where he got that bill.

The other lotus spots were reasonable …. WG always had an Aperol Spritz poolside at the non 4S locations. Dude could dress and get after it in the tropical setting.

How is Mike White in real life? He played such a creepy character in "Chuck and Buck" I can't imagine him as anything other than lecherous freak.
