Patrick Schwarzenegger’s role as Saxon Ratliff in The White Lotus Season 3 has been one of the most talked-about of the season. During the seven months of filming in Thailand, he balanced intense shoot days with plenty of adventure-filled downtime.
To make sure he was prepared for both the high-energy demands of filming and the more laid-back moments in between, Patrick packed a helpful selection of travel essentials. His go-to Brooks Running sneakers were among the items he brought, perfect for getting in his steps while exploring the Thai landscapes.
He also packed a few key skincare products he’d started using after borrowing them from his fiancée, Abby Champion. These essentials helped him stay fresh throughout the hot Thai climate and long days on set.
In an exclusive E! travel guide, Patrick shared the must-pack products he recommends for making the most out of your next trip.

E!: What made the Brooks Glycerin Max a must-pack essential for filming White Lotus?
PS: The shoot had that work-hard, play-hard vibe, and there were a lot of days where we weren’t working at all. Sometimes, it was just other groups filming—groups that I didn’t necessarily interact with in the storyline. So, it was like, what do we do on these off days?
At first, you want to go to the beach and hang by the pool, but after a while, you want to explore. I would go on long walks—multiple-hour-long walks. That’s actually how I got introduced to this specific shoe.
The walks were so long that I needed something with a nice cushion and great support for long durations. That’s where the Glycerin Max came in.
E!: How did staying active in Thailand play a role in your daily routine during filming?
PS: Working out has always been a huge part of my life, and it was a huge part of this character’s life too. It was something I did all the time. I’d go on long runs—we were on an island for a lot of the time, in Ko Samui and Phuket.
Brooks Running Glycerin Max Running Shoes
“The shoes were fantastic for me. I did a lot of beach runs. It was also a great way to bond with some of the other castmates—going to the gym, working out, or going on walks and runs.”
E!: Is it tough to prioritize fitness while you’re traveling?
PS: When I’m there for that long, I have to work out— not only because it was important for my character, but because it’s so important for my own mindset.
Apple Watch Series 10 Smartwatch
“I’m an annoying plane passenger—I like to walk up and down the whole plane every few hours, whether it’s during a layover or mid-flight. I have an obsession with hitting 10,000 steps every day with my Apple Watch. If I don’t hit it, it just crushes me. So, I just go on long walks in the airport.”
More from Patrick: “For me, running and working out is like my therapy—it’s my alone time, my reset. It represents freedom—just being in my own space, my own zone. I don’t necessarily have extremely specific goals unless they’re tied to a character and how I want to look. For me, fitness is just as much about mental health as it is physical health.”
E!: What are some of your must-pack grooming essentials for a long trip?
PS: I pack light. For skincare, I bring my face wash, moisturizer, and sunscreen. I’ll admit I mostly use whatever my fiancée gets me. We just share products.
Osea Ocean Cleanser
“She says I use too much face wash and moisturizer. She’s always like, ‘You just need a dime-sized amount,’ and I use more.”
Osea Atmosphere Protection Cream
“Right now, she has OSEA moisturizer, so I’m using that.”
Supergoop! Play Antioxidant Body Mist SPF 50 With Vitamin C
“The sunscreen I had on set was Supergoop! It sprayed really well, like, far and wide.”

Old Spice High Endurance Deodorant
“I try to use an aluminum-free deodorant. Probably Old Spice or whatever they have on set.”
E!: When you travel, are you typically an organized packer?
PS: I would say I’m the most organized I’ve ever been, just because we’re traveling to New York, Germany, Spain, Australia, and all these places for press stuff.
My stylist is really the one who deserves the compliment because he styles me so well. Normally, I just shove a bunch of stuff in a bag—I’m pretty bad.
E!: Have any celebrities reached out or shared their excitement about White Lotus as the season airs?
PS: Oh, yeah. When I was at the Vanity Fair party, I was starstruck by some of the celebrities—and then they were coming up to me, being like, “Oh my God, you gotta tell me what happens. What does Saxon do?”
Or people would yell to me, “Saxon!” from across the room. It has been surreal. That’s really the only way to describe it—it’s just been pretty crazy.
E!: Saxon Ratliff is such a meme-worthy character.
PS: As much credit as I would like to take for building a crazy character, it’s really just Mike White’s writing. I’m just bringing it to fruition—so it’s really him.
E!: Everyone is excited to see what Saxon is up to next.
PS: That’s what makes it fun. It’s just a ball of anxiety, not knowing where it’s gonna go.
