Patrick Schwarzenegger Hints at Asia Return for Honeymoon
Patrick Schwarzenegger, fresh off his role in the hit show "The White Lotus," might be ready for a relaxing vacation. The actor spent the last year filming on location in Koh Samui, Thailand, and exploring nearby destinations.
His explorations included visits to Phuket, the Phi Phi islands, and Maya Bay, the iconic beach made famous by the Leonardo DiCaprio movie "The Beach." He also mentioned the ease of traveling to Siem Reap, Cambodia, from Thailand. The actor recently wrapped up filming and debuted an ad campaign with Four Seasons, which served as the fictional "White Lotus" hotel in all three seasons. Schwarzenegger spoke about his favorite family vacation spots, tips for visiting Siem Reap, and potential honeymoon destinations with his fiancée, model Abby Champion.
Hotel Must-Haves Schwarzenegger emphasizes the importance of a good gym when choosing a hotel. "A gym is what makes and breaks a hotel from being good to great for me," he says. For beach hotels, the quality of the beach is key, while city hotels should be centrally located and walkable. Ultimately, food, service, and hospitality are crucial for a memorable stay.
A Repeat Destination When asked about a place he could visit endlessly, Schwarzenegger chose Idaho for skiing during the winter. Although he enjoys the beach, he prefers activities to simply relaxing. Idaho offers a mix of lake life, golf, tennis, and hiking, providing a refreshing escape from work and Los Angeles.
Memorable Travels One of Schwarzenegger's most cherished vacations was a trip to Italy with his fiancée. They explored the Amalfi Coast, visiting Capri, Positano, Amalfi, and Ischia. The trip proved to be a significant step in their relationship.
Visiting Angkor Wat: Expert Advice Schwarzenegger, who visited Angkor Wat in Siem Reap during a break from filming "The White Lotus," recommends an early start. "Everyone had recommended to go at sunrise," he says, noting the beautiful views and cooler temperatures. He also suggests hiring a photographer, bringing water, and wearing comfortable shoes. The stones absorb heat, making the site extremely hot later in the day.
Checking Back into "The White Lotus" Schwarzenegger expressed his enthusiasm for a potential appearance on "The White Lotus." He even offered to be a scout for future locations. He suggested the Swiss Alps as a stunning, albeit challenging, location due to weather conditions.
An Underrated Gem Schwarzenegger believes the Grand Canyon in the United States is often overlooked. He highlights its beauty and accessibility, offering various activities like hiking, river rafting, and helicopter tours. Despite its proximity to California, many people in his area haven't visited.
Travel Pet Peeves The actor's travel pet peeves include bare feet in sandals at the airport and on planes, people putting their bare feet on chairs, and the strong smell of tuna fish.
Favorite Hotel Schwarzenegger's favorite hotel is the Four Seasons in Maui, where he recently shot a campaign. He praises the delicious food, beautiful beaches, ocean, and various activities available. He enjoys the unique feeling of being in America while experiencing a different atmosphere.
Honeymoon Plans Regarding his honeymoon, Schwarzenegger mentioned that his fiancée is considering the Maldives or Bora Bora. He seems inclined to fulfill her wishes, suggesting a romantic getaway to one of these tropical destinations.
