The White Lotus impact is once again in full effect.
The popular drama has begun rolling out new episodes and of course, travelers are itching to visit the locations featured in the lushly filmed show.
The third season of White Lotus was filmed in Thailand and there’s already been more than a few reports of the tourism boom that is expected to ensue in the country.
Given the country’s abundant turquoise waters, many lavish resorts, not to mention fascinating cityscapes, the impending tourism rush is not exactly surprising.
But in the age of overtourism, it’s also not an ideal situation, especially if you’re seeking a more peaceful travel experience. Or one that allows for more deeply connecting with a destination.
With those sorts of conscious travel goals in mind, Intrepid Travel has just announced a special sale of up to 15 percent off some of its Thailand trips that were deliberately designed to take visitors “beyond the glossy portrayal” of the country and “uncover a richer, more authentic Thailand, one shaped by its people, culture, and untold stories.”
“Thailand isn’t just another destination for us, it’s where Intrepid Travel was born,” says Leigh Barnes, President of the Americas. “Our very first trip ran here in 1989 with just five travelers, and that same spirit of adventure still drives us today. This is a chance to go beyond the resorts—to meet the people, taste the flavors, and see the country in a way that truly benefits local communities.”
Sounds amazing right? If this is your cup of tea, read on for the key details.
