Looking out over a sleepy bay from my hillside villa at Layan Life on the north coast of Phuket, I’m feeling just like Jennifer Coolidge. Or perhaps more accurately like Jennifer Coolidges’s White Lotus character, the wildly wealthy and hopelessly clueless Tanya McQuoid (RIP).
My skin still carries a light sheen of coconut oil from my morning massage, my muscles gently ache from the posture realignment in the afternoon and my stomach feels pleasantly – but not overly – full from the carefully curated meal just prepared by my private chef, taking into account my specific dietary requirements.
