The number of hotel bookings on Koh Samui increased by 44%. And all because the third season of the TV series "White Lotus" was filmed here. The key location was the five-star Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui.

There are already concerns that the island may face disastrous consequences for the environment due to its popularity. Guests of the premium resort consume 10 times more water, and there is simply no infrastructure for garbage collection, which thousands of vacationers will bring with them.

Let me remind you that the Thai authorities have already faced the problem of overturism on the island of Phi Phi Le, where they filmed the movie "The Beach" with DiCaprio.
