Kat is an amazing tour guide. She shared her love and knowledge of Bangkok and all of Thailand. Her passion for its history, people and cuisine were paramount. See you when I return again!

If you want to experience the hidden and non-touristy Bangkok, then go with City Unscripted! Our host Kat made us forget about the chaotic capital by taking us to a peaceful cruise in the canals where we could enjoy stunning temples and local houses, as well as the giant golden Buddha statue. During the cruise Kat was really great in explaining us the local lifestyle, culture and history and she was always open to answer all the questions with her contagious smile. After the cruise she took us to a urban natural oasis where (believe me!) we didn’t feel like being in such a chaotic city and were we ate the best pad thai we had in Thailand. Shout out to Kat, we’ll come back!
