Between the exotic sights, rich history, and mouthwatering food there’s no question why Thailand was chosen as the setting for season three of the wildly popular streaming series The White Lotus. For these reasons, and many more, Thailand is one of Seabourn’s most beloved destinations. Guests relish visiting golden temples, taking in colorful street markets, and exploring beaches during their world-class tour of the country.

Season three transports viewers to a stunningly beautiful island in Thailand. And while the intense drama of the show pulls you in, it’s the captivating scenery that has left many asking where this location is — and how they can experience it.

So many have asked: “Where was this new season of The White Lotus filmed?” This island in Thailand is Koh Samui, and it’s truly majestic. But if you could wind back the clock and visit it before the recent boom in popularity, you’d find yourself in Ko Kood.

Also known as Koh Kood or Koh Kut, the blissful island of Ko Kood rests in the northeast of the Gulf of Thailand, just across from Koh Samui. You won’t find this location on many other destinations except with Seabourn. It’s a premier destination visited only by Seabourn’s all-suite ships with a private yacht-like atmosphere. And it’s also the location of Seabourn’s beloved complimentary Caviar in the Surf® event.

Stunning serenity. Those are the words that best describe Ko Kood. Take in the views of the most pristine, teal water you’ve ever seen, powder-white sand, and lush, tropical groves. This island, known mostly for fishing, is as close to perfection as it gets. It’s home to only about 2,000 locals, and visitors enjoy uncrowded beaches with few hotels.

The memorable scenery in this slice of heaven is the perfect backdrop for Caviar in the Surf®, a signature event just for Seabourn guests. Our team prepares meticulously for this exclusive beach barbecue party, leaving no detail behind.

Imagine being on the most incredible beach in a tranquil paradise and, for this day, you and other guests are royalty. After being brought to shore, you’ll find rows of comfortable lounge chairs lined up waiting for you on the beach. Music is playing. A fully stocked bar awaits.

As you begin to mingle or relax, you’ll hear the sound of a small boat in the distance. Right before your eyes a chef arrives in a Zodiac® with the caviar. This is the official kickoff of our iconic Caviar in the Surf® and beach barbecue! And out in the water you notice something remarkable. Crew members, in uniform, wade through shallow waves to set up a surfboard bar. The popping of champagne corks is your invitation to wade out for a flute or two of bubbly and make a splash.

Caviar and champagne are flowing as you toast with new friends. With each friendly clink of flute glasses more memories are made. Back on shore chefs have prepared a lavish buffet full of delicious selections like lobster, ribs, and fish — a five-star version of a beach barbecue. Tables covered with freshly pressed linens are set and ready for the feast.

The fun continues beyond the frolicking and glamorous lunch. Kayaks, snorkeling equipment, banana boats, paddleboards, and more are available from the beach.

Nothing beats relaxing under an umbrella or in hammock on the white sand beach with your favorite drink. Feel the tropical island breeze on your skin and soak in every minute.

Caviar in the Surf® is pure luxury by every definition of the word and it’s all yours in Ko Kood.

The hustle and bustle of Bangkok and Phuket feel a million miles away when you’re in Ko Kood. Only with Seabourn can you experience this off-the-beaten-path and incredibly beautiful port of Thailand with our unmatched comfort and elegance. Are you ready to set sail in style to paradise? Champagne, caviar, and our crew are waiting for you and ready to welcome you onboard your resort at sea to experience this breathtaking island and exclusive, spectacular event in unparalleled Seabourn style.
