Michelle Monaghan Shares 'White Lotus' Swimsuit Photos
The White Lotus Season 3 came to a dramatic close with episode 8, and it's safe to say we've been introduced to many new personalities staying at the lavish Thailand resort. One fan favorite is Jaclyn Lemon, portrayed by actress Michelle Monaghan. While on location, Michelle and the cast clearly had fun embracing the sun-drenched, opulent setting. The celeb shared some behind-the-scenes photos of herself and her White Lotus Thailand family on Instagram, poolside and throughout the resort, and we're living vicariously through them!
1. Pink and White Bikini Poolside Snaps
In one photo, Michelle posed for a mirror selfie, surrounded by lush foliage at the resort. She's rocking a pink and white striped bikini paired with a pink patterned cover-up. In another snap from the Instagram carousel, Michelle kicks back by the pool while enjoying distant seaside views and reading My Name Is Barbara by Barbara Streisand.
The actress captioned her post, "A little trip down memory lane of @thewhitelotus episode 6! Who's ready for ep 7 tonight!? Special shout out to my ladies @mslesliebibb @carriecoon. We had fun then but even more fun now!? It's Thank you at @itsparkerposey for letting me wear your perfect vintage Chanel shoes (last pic!) the whole season! … And to my favorite @imderrickspru for creating the perfect beachy hair every single day (more on that soon).

In these behind-the-scenes snaps, Michelle sports a gorgeous yellow flowery number in a selfie and poses for a mirror pic while donning a deep maroon swimsuit and patterned cover-up. She captioned the post, "The Ladies The Ladies! #bts from #TheWhiteLotus eps 1 & 2."

In case you're wondering, The White Lotus Season 3 was filmed in five gorgeous hotels and areas of Phuket, Thailand, including: Four Seasons Koh Samui, Anantara Bophut Koh Samui, Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas, Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort, and Rosewood Phuket, according to TODAY.
"The Four Seasons in Koh Samui is an A-plus vacations destination, but it didn't offer us certain things we needed for our show to work visually," executive producer David Bernad told PEOPLE. "So we augmented some of the show using the spa at the Anantara Phuket [which] made more sense for filming."
So, White Lotus fans, we ask you: Are Michelle's bikini pics amid the luxurious landscape of Thailand enticing you to pack your own swimwear and hop on a plane? If so, you're not alone. More than 10 million viewers watched the premier of Season 3 the first week after it aired (per TODAY), and the excitement to have a White Lotus-esque experience in Thailand seems to be incredible!
