After taking on Hawaii and Italy In the first two records in ”The white lotus“Anthology Series Creator Mike White believe in His latest adventure In Thailand up Ante.
“I feel that the other seasons were a rehearsal for this one,” White said I A new interview with time. “There are things I have never directed before.”
White also shared that he drew his own life and experience to get pregnant season 3. Originally, White wanted to shoot in Japan, but after HBO suggested Thailand he took a trip to scouts and ended up in hospital with a case of severe bronchitis. As horrible as the circumstance was, White could still find inspiration through the haze.
“I didn’t sleep like two nights,” he said, “and the next morning I was like,” I think I have the action. “The season is pretty much what happened that night.”
While white is usually considering finding the end of his stories “the most difficult part”, the delirium taken by his illness and its subsequent treatment helped him reach the end of season 3 early, which allowed him to work backwards and give confidence in the choice of Thailand as The show’s latest environment.
In addition to spending time in Thailand as a competitor at “The Amazing Race” in 2009, White also has a connection to the country’s Buddhist religion and culture.

I use Buddhist concepts as a way to sort my ideas, “said White, leaving later,” I don’t think the show will ever be a nuanced version of a Thai person’s Buddhist experience. I don’t feel I could write it. It’s really about Americans who come up with perceptions. You talk to people … and try to expand something that feels multidimensional and you hope it passes the Bullsh Test. Because that’s the story: Find the story, find the relationships between all people – as opposed to seeing the differences and being afraid of it. “
In relating season 3’s themes to the regulations for reincarnation and mirror -I reflected in Buddhism, White said of the characters: “They are all in some form of injury. As if they are all dead, but they don’t know it. ”
