Thailand seems to find a balance, requiring staff to cater to guest demands while occasionally dodging gunfire. As the third season of The White Lotus wraps up and we enter Q1, it’s time for those early performance evaluations to determine who is truly advancing in this luxurious yet somewhat deadly White Lotus corporation.
