Brisbane composer creates mixed-reaction theme for White Lotus

Peranya Visitchantaragoon, a Brisbane-based musician and kindergarten teacher, composed the new theme song for season three of The White Lotus. She was approached by composer Cristobal Tapia de Veer after he discovered her playing the Thai violin online. The new theme music features a mix of instruments, including Visitchantaragoon's Saw Duang, and has received mixed reactions from fans. This season's score is darker and moodier compared to the upbeat themes of previous seasons. Visitchantaragoon expressed pride in showcasing Thai culture through her music. She hopes the show's popularity will inspire more interest in Thai music and traditions.
