Where was The White Lotus Season 3 filmed in Bangkok?

Key scenes were filmed at Siri Sala, a restored traditional Thai stilt villa complex on the Bangkok Noi canal near the Chao Phraya River. The villa features a private dock, artisan interiors, and dramatic evening lighting seen in the show.

Can I stay at the Siri Sala villa from The White Lotus?

Yes. Starting in 2026, Siri Sala—a Small Luxury Hotels member previously available only as a full villa buyout—is now open for individual room bookings across its five unique suites, with the option to still book the entire property.

What experiences are offered at Siri Sala?

Guests enjoy private boat transfers, guided visits to Wat Suwannaram (whose 18th-century murals inspired The White Lotus title sequence), Muay Thai lessons, Thai cooking classes, spa treatments, and curated dining experiences including Royal Thai Cuisine and river-to-table menus.

How was Siri Sala restored?

After five years of research and reconstruction, owners combined salvaged elements from the original decaying stilt houses with a faithful rebuild. A 100-year-old Heritage House was disassembled and reassembled on-site, and original floorboards were repurposed into furniture like the dining table.

The White Lotus Comes to Life on the Bangkok Noi Canal

Step into the pivotal scene from The White Lotus Season 3: as dusk settles over the water, a boat glides toward Siri Sala—a dramatic riverside villa where a long-awaited confrontation unfolds. Once the secret lair of the enigmatic Jim Hollinger, this secluded estate is now open to guests.

After three years as an exclusive buyout-only property and member of Small Luxury Hotels, Siri Sala now welcomes individual travelers starting in 2026. Stay in one of five exquisitely restored Thai stilt houses, each featuring artisan details, private terraces, and seamless access to Bangkok’s historic canal network.

A Legacy Restored

From Ruin to Residence

Ten years ago, owners Irma Go and Kirati Thepsoparn spotted three decaying traditional Thai stilt houses on the Bangkok Noi canal—noble in form but near collapse. After a year of searching, they rediscovered the same property relisted and began a five-year restoration.

Authentic Reconstruction

Architects deemed the structures unsalvageable, so they meticulously rebuilt using original elements. A 100-year-old Heritage House was disassembled and reassembled on-site. Floorboards became dining tables; window frames were preserved. The result honors Thai craftsmanship while offering modern comfort.

Siri Sala’s location in a quiet residential canal neighborhood offers a serene contrast to central Bangkok’s bustle—ideal for travelers seeking authenticity and calm.
