Phuket's quiet side: hidden bays and tranquil beaches

It's often fiction that sets travelers in motion: The hit series The White Lotus, a bitter satire on the privileged concerns of the well-to-do, brought a boom in luxury tourism to the locations of the first two seasons, Hawaii and Sicily. A similar effect can now be seen on Phuket - the third season of the series, which has been running in German dubbed version since February 17, 2025, was filmed in parts on Thailand's largest island.
