In the White Lotus universe, few couples have sparked as much excitement as Gaitok and Mook. Currently featured in season 3, both characters work at the luxury hotel’s Koh Samui location—Gaitok as a security guard and Mook as a health mentor. While Gaitok has been open about his feelings for Mook, even going so far as to ask her out, she has played harder to get. But a recent clip of the two singing together shows that the chemistry between them is undeniable.
The clip, shared by Max, features Tayme Thapthimthong, who plays Gaitok, singing the chorus of Blackstreet and Dr. Dre’s 1996 hit “No Diggity” to a captivated Lalisa Manoban, who portrays Mook. Manoban, of course, is a global superstar herself. Better known mononymously as Lisa, she’s one of the members of the K-pop sensation BlackPink. Singing in front of an international pop icon like Lisa takes serious courage, but Thapthimthong doesn’t just stumble his way through the song—he nails it.
As Lisa enthusiastically dances and sings along, Thapthimthong delivers the lyrics with impressive skill, sparking a range of reactions from viewers in the comments. “Get manager Fabian off the stage and get Gaitok on it immediately!!!” said one user, referencing the fictional White Lotus hotel manager who invites guests to watch him sing in a resort staff talent show. “Bro is good at everything except his job,” another fan commented, poking fun at Gaitok’s tendency to neglect his duties in favor of trying to fix his personal life.
Thapthimthong has previously made waves with his shirtless photos while practicing the traditional Thai martial art of muay thai. Maybe if Gaitok channeled some of this confidence—and dedicated a song to Mook at the talent show—his lukewarm love life could take a fiery turn.
