November 2 - 9, 2026
Join Lauren Wood, founder of the Women in Trial Travel Summit, for an unforgettable small-group journey to Thailand, November 2–9, 2026. This curated 8-day, 7-night experience blends luxury, adventure, culture, and connection—with an opportunity to earn 3 hours of MCLE credits* in paradise.
Your trip begins in Bangkok, where you’ll explore the vibrant heart of Thailand. Visit ornate temples, glide along the Chao Phraya River, and savor the city’s world-famous cuisine on a private tuk-tuk night food tour. Enjoy luxury accommodations at a five-star hotel with meeting space for our morning MCLE session, then fly south to the tropical island of Phuket for five nights of relaxation and discovery.
In Phuket, unwind on white-sand beaches, enjoy a private catamaran charter through the emerald waters and limestone cliffs of Phang Nga Bay, and visit a local ethical elephant sanctuary for an inspiring up-close experience. Take part in a private Thai cooking class, indulge in world-class dining and spa treatments, and enjoy plenty of free time to recharge, reflect, and connect with your fellow women lawyers.
As with all WITTS trips, everything is taken care of for you—from accommodations and transfers to curated group experiences and seamless logistics—so you can simply show up, relax, and immerse yourself in the magic of Thailand.
This isn’t just another vacation. It’s a chance to connect with like-minded women, share stories from the courtroom, and experience Thailand’s warmth, culture, and cuisine in true WITTS style.

Monday, November 2
Meet in Bangkok
Arrive in Bangkok, where a private VIP transfer will whisk you from the airport to your five-star hotel in the heart of the city. After settling into your room and freshening up, the group will gather for a sunset cocktail along the Chao Phraya River, soaking in views of glittering temples and passing boats as the city begins to glow. Dinner will be at your leisure since attendees arrive at different times and flights often get delayed. End the evening however you choose: unwind with a traditional Thai foot massage at a nearby spa or call it an early night to rest up for the adventures to come.
Wednesday, November 4
MCLEs + Phuket
Begin the morning in Bangkok with a dedicated MCLE session from 9:00 a.m. to noon, held in a conference room at your hotel. This is the perfect opportunity to earn your continuing legal education credits while connecting with fellow women lawyers in a relaxed, inspiring setting. Afterward, enjoy a seamless transfer to the airport for your short flight to Phuket, where turquoise waters and soft sands await. Settle into your resort and gather in the evening for a beachfront sunset dinner, celebrating the start of the island portion of your Thai adventure.
Thursday, November 5
Free Day
Today is all about relaxation and rejuvenation. Enjoy a slow, peaceful morning on Phuket’s pristine beaches—whether that means sipping coffee by the sea, taking a dip in the warm turquoise water, or lounging under a palm tree with a good book. The day is yours to unwind at your own pace, with optional group wellness activities such as Thai massages or a sunset paddle along the coast. In the evening, dine at your leisure—choose from beachfront seafood restaurants, elegant resort dining, or a casual local spot steps from the sand.
Friday, November 6
Boat Day!
Today’s highlight is an unforgettable private catamaran charter through Phang Nga Bay, one of Thailand’s most breathtaking natural wonders. Set sail across turquoise waters surrounded by dramatic limestone cliffs and emerald-green islets, with plenty of time to swim, snorkel, and kayak through hidden sea caves and lagoons. Stop for a photo at the famous “James Bond Island,” made iconic by the film The Man with the Golden Gun. Enjoy a fresh Thai lunch served onboard and plenty of sunshine, music, and laughter—because a WITTS Boat Day is always the best day of the trip! Evening free.

Ethical Elephant Morning
This morning brings a truly meaningful experience with a private visit to an ethical elephant sanctuary, where you’ll learn about conservation efforts and observe these gentle giants up close in their natural habitat. Spend time feeding and walking alongside them—no riding, just respectful connection and education. Afterward, enjoy a free afternoon to relax by the pool or browse Phuket’s chic boutiques. As evening falls, enjoy a casual beach barbecue under the stars.
Sunday, November 8
Thai Cooking Class
Today, you'll immerse yourself in Thailand’s rich culinary culture with a hands-on private Thai cooking class, where you’ll learn to craft traditional dishes using fresh, local ingredients—then enjoy the delicious meal you’ve prepared. The afternoon is yours to relax, shop, hit any spots you missed along the way, or join a golden-hour photo session to capture those final sun-soaked moments in paradise. In the evening, you'll gather for a farewell dinner celebrating friendship, laughter, and the unforgettable memories made together in Thailand.

Please Read Before Signing Up
Whether you are a new attendee or have attended a prior WITTS Group Trip , please read the following terms, as the terms have changed:
After submitting an application, all applications will be reviewed by WITTS organizers. If accepted, you will receive an invitation to attend the trip and will be sent a link to pay a non-refundable $1,000 deposit. Your spot cannot be held without paying the deposit. You will have three (3) days to pay the deposit; after which, if payment has not been received, an invitation to the trip will be extended to someone else. After paying a deposit, 50% of the remaining balance will be due 90 days prior to the start of the trip, with the full balance due 60 days prior to the first day of the trip.
Please make sure to read our Code of Conduct prior to signing up.
This is a group trip. If you cannot be respectful and kind to other attendees, then this trip is not for you. If you cannot commit to being on time—as a courtesy to other attendees—then this trip is also not for you. Similarly, if you do not do well in a small group setting, you may want to reconsider attending. If travel stresses you out, then traveling in a group setting probably won't be any easier. If you are particular about sharing a room with people, then you are strongly encouraged to book a single. In sum, negativity on group trips has the ability to ruin other people's trip. For this reason, you are strongly encouraged to think about whether a group trip is right for you before signing up.
If you can commit to being respectful of other attendees, are open to trying new foods and experiences, and are looking for a trip where you will bond with like-minded female trial lawyers and women in the legal industry, enjoy incredible dishes and see what the Thailand has to offer, then it would be our pleasure to host you.
*All attendees are required to purchase a travel insurance policy that includes medical coverage. While any travel insurance policy with medical coverage will suffice, attendees are strongly encouraged to purchase a policy with Cancel for Any Reason coverage. In the event that life gets in the way last minute and you are required to cancel within thirty (30) days of the trip for a reason that is not covered by typical insurance policies, Cancel for Any Reason coverage may help get some of your money back. Please read the entirety of our cancellation policy, along with general Terms & Conditions, HERE.
Flights & Travel Information
You will want to book a Multi-City trip, which can easily be found on Kayak or Google Flights, then purchased directly through the airline. Attendees should aim to depart the US between morning and midday on Sunday, November 1st, and arrive in Bangkok at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (BKK) in the evening. Be careful: some flights you will find depart TWO days prior to arrival! For departure from Phuket, choose a flight home from Phuket City (HKT). Flights departing that day get back the same day.
