Drenched in a nostalgic '70s aesthetic, Netflix's true-crime drama The Serpent unfolds at the furnished and ostensibly welcoming Kanit House in Bangkok. While the series initially depicts guests leisurely relaxing by the pool, many dark activities went on at the apartment complex in the '70s. Portrayed by Tahar Rahim in the limited series, Frenchman Charles Sobhraj, also known as the Bikini Killer, welcomed young travelers at Kanit House in Thailand. But his generous hosting was a ruse. Sobhraj developed a chilling reputation for drugging and robbing unsuspecting backpackers. He has been convicted of two murders, but he potentially killed at least a dozen people (which he admitted but later recanted). Long story short, Kanit House was a real place, a hub for Sobhraj's terrifying acts.
Sticking to the location of the actual events, The Serpent's production team filmed most of the limited series in Thailand. However, Kanit...
