Chapter 1: What mysterious events occur at the luxury resort?
We don't know who's going to die. We don't even know why they're going to die yet. But we do know that someone is going to die. Because that is the setup of the White Lotus. The first season was set in Hawaii. The second one was in Italy. And now the third is going to be in Thailand.
It's going to come out sometime in 2025, which if you haven't already seen, White Lotus is this dark comedy drama series that usually takes place in one of the fictional White Lotus luxury resort hotel chains. And it's this fascinating mixture. You have all of these mostly obnoxious, slightly eccentric, wealthy guests with their own problems and secrets.
interacting with the hotel staff who likely hate their guts. Season 3 is extra special because Lisa from Blackpink will be featured. This is her debut acting role, and it's filmed in her home country, Thailand, at the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui. Koh Samui is this secluded island off the east coast of mainland Thailand. It has a private beach.
When you go to the Four Seasons, there's so many trees. There's so many plants. You're almost on a cliffside. You have little pockets of buildings that are surrounded by nature with these many little pools, infinity pools overlooking the cliffs. There's 14 private villas.
And one of the actresses, Carrie Coon, she says about the director of the White Lotus series, she said, okay, his vision with the third series. He had a season about money. He had his season about sex. This season is going to be about death. And not many people know this.
And I don't know if White Lotus is going to use this as inspiration, but there actually was a very, very mysterious death at the Four Seasons Resort in Koh Samui. This is the true story behind that death. In 2014, a post starts going viral in China. It's a long personal story posted onto this internet forum by a username named Uncle Bluebeard, which is kind of a weird username.
But the post is titled, The Risks of Being in a Wealthy Family. My sister-in-law's sister. So it would be like my sister's husband's sibling.
I see.
Now, the risks of being in a wealthy family. My sister-in-law's sister died in Koh Samui, Thailand. You click on the post and you start reading it. My sister-in-law has a beautiful younger sister named Lily. She married one of the richest men in China.

Chapter 2: What is the connection between the White Lotus show and real-life murders?
His wife, Lily, had been found dead floating in the pool. She had drowned. At least that's the original story. That is the original version. They were at their estate in Thailand to get away from the busy city to get away from work. It's supposed to be a romantic little trip. But now his wife, Lily, is dead. She's drowned. Maybe she drank too much wine and slipped into the pool.
Lily's body is brought in to be autopsied, and suddenly the story doesn't even make sense. I mean, most of her autopsy findings don't indicate that she drowned. In fact, they indicate that she was strangled. That is her official cause of death, briefly. Adding to this bizarre situation, Lily has been dead for the past 8 to 10 hours. Sure, the estate is 11,000 square feet, but it's not that big.
And the infinity pool for each villa, you can imagine that they're like the focal point of the estate. You're going to see it. How did Lin not realize that his wife was not only missing for eight to 10 hours, but also floating dead in the pool? These are the questions that Lin seems to have a hard time answering with the Thai police.
I mean, there's a lot of questions, in fact, that Lin cannot answer, or perhaps he doesn't want to answer them. Like, why did you and your wife refuse to have the private butler consistently come during this trip? Was it because you had plans? It should also be noted that during Lynn's initial interrogation by the Thai police, he had multiple scratches, deep scratches on his shoulder.
It's pretty far back. It's basically on his back. When questioned about that, Lynn allegedly initially tells them, I mean, I also was drunk that night and obviously I didn't notice that my wife had drowned. So perhaps I injured myself and I was scratching myself or something. Thai police have every intention of figuring that one out. They say, oh, okay, that's a very cool explanation.
That's actually riveting. Let's do it again. They bring him a bucket of paint. They have him dip his fingers into it and ask him to reach towards the back shoulder area to see just how far he can reach to scratch himself. He could not replicate reaching far back enough to give himself those wounds. Lin allegedly changes his explanation a little later.
Look, obviously the injuries are from when I jumped into the pool to pull my wife's body out.
That's crazy.
The authorities state that he was a suspect, but he saw himself as a victim because his wife lost her life. That's how they phrase it. But it doesn't matter because Lynn would pay a $140,000 bail and the case would be deemed closed.
