Tuesday, November 3
Old Bangkok +Food Tour
Spend the day discovering Old Bangkok’s most iconic landmarks with a private local guide. In the morning, explore the magnificent Grand Palace and the serene Wat Pho, home to the famed reclining Buddha, while taking in the timeless beauty of the Chao Phraya River and its bustling canals. After a leisurely afternoon break, the group will embark on a private tuk-tuk night food and temple adventure, zipping through Bangkok’s lively streets as golden temples glow against the night sky. Sample sizzling street eats, visit hidden local gems, and experience the magic of the city after dark.
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
Boat Day!
This is the signature WITTS Boat Day, and often the highlight of the trip. Guests board a private catamaran for a full day exploring Phang Nga Bay’s dramatic limestone karsts, emerald lagoons, and hidden sea caves. With time for swimming, kayaking, and onboard lunch, the day strikes the perfect balance between adventure and leisure. 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.
Friday, November 6
Ethical Elephant Morning
Today you'll get to choose between an ethical elephant sanctuary experience focused on observation, education, and feeding, or a wellness-forward morning such as yoga or spa time. The afternoon is free to explore Koh Samui’s beach clubs, boutiques, or simply relax by the water. Dinner is also free for attendees to explore local restaurants or stay at a beach club past sunset. For those who wish to continue the evening and dine together, the hotel will have a variety of different restaurant options to choose from.
Saturday, November 7
Travel to Koh Samui
After breakfast, you will travel with the group to Koh Samui, an island known for its relaxed luxury and natural beauty. The afternoon is intentionally left open for guests to enjoy the beach, pool, or spa at their own pace. Optional sunset cocktails provide a low-key opportunity to reconnect and take in the island’s softer, slower rhythm. Koh Samui has a more relaxed pace, and attendees are encouraged to mimic that relaxation and set aside some time to unwind.
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.
Monday, November 9
Depart Home
On our last day, we'll spend one last meal together in the morning.

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.
