Part of Victoria ’s near - tending linear perspective is fueled by anticipated public derision and judgment of the masses she knows back home , particularly those belonging to an exclusive commonwealth club . Both Timothy and Victoria put so much accent on what the country club thinksand are worried about potentially being ostracized by their company for letting Piper " run raving mad " in Thailand .
That bizarre incestuous hugging scene between the Ratliff blood brother , Lochlan and Saxon , in The White Lotus time of year 3 confirms many viewers ' worst fear .
Piper becoming a Buddhist and live in Thailand after graduation exercise would make them the subject area of chit chat and contempt . Since the Ratliff family unit are still unaware of Tim ’s money - laundering quandary inThe White Lotusseason 3 , Piper living in Thailand seems like the worst matter in their lives .
