Thailand’s world-renowned pop star, LISA, makes her acting debut in “The White Lotus” Season 3. She will be credited under her full name, Lalisa Manobal, in the third season of the hit Emmy-winning HBO series which will be filmed in various locations across Thailand, including Koh Samui, Phuket, and Bangkok in February. The series will showcase all that the beautiful country of Thailand has to offer and is set to release on air in 2025.

According to the Ministry of Tourism and Sport, the number of foreign film productions in Thailand hit a record in 2023. A total of 466 foreign film productions from 40 countries and territories were filmed in Thailand, resulting in an estimated revenue of over 6.6 billion THB (188.8 million USD). Companies from the United States shot 34 films, spending over $90 million. Hong Kong came in second on the list, followed by China, Germany, and South Korea.

Thailand's stunning landscapes and scenery, friendly people, exotic animals, extensive and efficient logistics, and abundant skilled and talented crew members and technicians as well as government's generous tax rebates for productions have made the Kingdom a consistently alluring destination for foreign producers.

The capital of Bangkok ranks first among the provinces and cities in Thailand favoured for crews filming in 2023, with 282 works filmed in the city.
