White Lotus Season 3 Shoots Songkran Water Scene

Leslie Bibb described the filming of The White Lotus season three's water gun scene in Thailand as chaotic and stressful, particularly due to concerns about the cleanliness of the water and the risk of illness. The scene, set during the Thai New Year festival Songkran, featured Bibb, Michelle Monaghan, and Carrie Coon being drenched by children and over 300 extras, with even crew members joining in the water fight. Bibb repeatedly questioned the water source, referencing travel warnings about Thai tap water. Despite her worries, the cast treated the experience as memorable, as it marked Carrie Coon's final day on set. Bibb's humorous recounting has become a highlight in her press interviews. The incident showcases the unpredictable challenges of filming on location during real celebrations.
