Listen: 'The White Lotus' Soundtrack
For Dreaming of: The background of the iconic series.
Soundtrack
Speaking of all the rage, if you haven't seen HBO's 'The White Lotus' season 3 in Thailand yet...well you should. Even without the interpersonal dramas of the guests, the lush surroundings of its setting, the Four Seasons Koh Samui, is entrancing. You may not have been listening to the background either, but I was enchanted by the delicious yet funky assortment of Thai musical selections which was quite placesetting.
The show's selections are thoughtful, mixed with old-school and nouveau charm. There's already a Spotify playlist that neatly organizes each season's songs (just sort by date added to get to the Thai songs).
Here a few notable selections:
"Huai abanibi" by Hongthong Dao-udon (1978)
"Made in Thailand" by Carabao (1985)
"Kuen Kuen Lueng Lueng" (Black Sabbath's "Iron Man") by Soreng Santi (2009)
"Rak Tong Rorn" (Love Passion) by Viparat Piengsuwan (2004)
"Kwang Noi Chaolay" by The Paradise Bangkok Molam International Band (2014)
"Pee Sao Krub" by Jarun Manophet (2008)
