Song Made in Thailand (เมด อิน ไทยแลนด์) The song that plays as the guests arrive by boat in the first episode of The White Lotus season 3. With a flute riff every Thai knows, it pokes fun at Thais who trust a foreign label more than their own country's goods. It teaches words you'll use every week (Westerner, to appreciate, warranty, label, to sell well, to fool), the Thai idea of face, and the playful echo words Thais use for emphasis.
