EF World Journeys

Pop culture and travel go hand in hand—especially when a hit show inspires the next wave of adventures. With the buzz around The White Lotus Season 3, we knew we had to go beyond the typical “set-jetting” experience to capture Gen Z’s attention. That’s why the team EF Ultimate Break created Thailand: Inspired by White Lotus—a 22-day adventure that lets travelers immerse themselves in the lavish sights, sounds, and experiences of the show…without the luxury price tag. What makes this trip truly special? Every Monday, after the latest episode drops, our team incredible team updates the itinerary to include new budget-friendly experiences inspired by the show. From Full Moon Parties to Thai puppet performances, this isn’t your parent’s tour—it’s a living, breathing journey that’s being shaped in real time. Thanks to the talented Jamie Spain for featuring our Thailand White Lotus inspired tour in Condé Nast Traveller . Read more about it here: : https://lnkd.in/e_wGSRVi I couldn’t be prouder of how our team brings cultural moments to life through travel. If you know someone aged 18-35 who wants to see the world in a fresh, exciting way, this is their chance. Let us turn your dream of a White Lotus adventure into reality—minus the drama. #WeAreEF #TravelInspired #SetJetting #Thailand #WhiteLotus
