Kathryn Bernardo marked the holiday season by treating her team to a trip to Bangkok, Thailand.

Kathryn’s stylist, Boop Yap, shared the snapshots of their trip on social media.

“Great food and great friends that are family. ♥️ Thank you @bernardokath! 🤗😘” Boop posted on her Instagram page.

In the photos, Kathryn can be seen going on a food trip with her team and exploring different spots in Bangkok.

Kathryn also shared snapshots of her Bangkok trip on her Instagram page. “And the tom yum series continues…” she wrote.

Kathryn was fresh from the blockbuster success of her movie with Alden Richards, Hello, Love, Again. The film earned more than Php1 billion in the global box office.

“Thank you sa lahat ng mga sumusuporta sa movie, sa lahat ng mga kababayan natin. Grabe, parte kayo nito,” Kathryn said in a previous interview with GMA News.

“Thank you for making this happen. Thank you for making this possible. Congratulations to us,” she added.

The actress also bagged the Snow Leopard Rising Star at the Asian World Film Festival (AWFF) in November.

“It feels so surreal to be standing here tonight receiving this award. Thank you so much to the Asian World Film Festival board of directors for this incredible honor, not only for recognizing my body of work but for celebrating all the stories that we as Asian artists continue to share for the world,” she said in her acceptance speech.

She went on: “I started at the age of 6 and over the years I’ve been fortunate to bring a variety of characters to life. Each one gave me something new, not just as an actor but as a person. 22 years —  I am still here pursuing my first love and my passion which is acting. Yes, I know it’s a tough job, but moments like tonight make it all worth it. It is such an honor being here representing my fellow Filipinos and my home network ABS-CBN.”

According to an insider close to Kathryn, the trip was more than just a simple act of gratitude. “Of course, Kathryn has always been generous, and she values her team like family. But this trip had a deeper, more personal reason behind it,” the source revealed. Speculations quickly arose, with some believing it was Kathryn’s way of celebrating a new milestone in her career, while others suspected it was a healing trip after her much-publicized breakup with longtime boyfriend Daniel Padilla.

However, the real reason behind this luxurious treat was finally exposed! It turns out that Kathryn had secretly struck a major international endorsement deal with a well-known luxury brand based in Thailand. This multi-million peso deal, which is set to be announced in the coming weeks, will reportedly mark Kathryn’s expansion into the international scene! “She’s been keeping it lowkey, but this is a huge step for her. The brand loved her strong influence, grace, and authenticity, which perfectly aligned with their image,” the insider added.

During the trip, Kathryn and her team were seen enjoying high-end accommodations, shopping at luxury boutiques, and dining at some of the most exclusive restaurants in Bangkok and Phuket. Fans who followed Kathryn’s Instagram stories couldn’t help but admire the breathtaking views and extravagant experiences, sparking curiosity about what could have prompted such a grand vacation.

When asked about the trip, Kathryn simply said, “I just wanted to give back to the people who have been with me through thick and thin. They deserve it.” But little did everyone know, she was also preparing for an exciting new chapter in her career.

As news of her upcoming international deal started to spread, fans were ecstatic, expressing their excitement on social media. “Kathryn taking over Asia? We love to see it!” one fan tweeted. Another netizen commented, “She’s proving that she can stand on her own and conquer bigger things! Proud of you, Kath!”

Despite recent challenges in her personal life, Kathryn Bernardo continues to shine, proving that she is a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry. With an international endorsement deal on the horizon and a solid support system by her side, it looks like this is just the beginning of an even bigger and brighter future for the actress.
