Newsletter-April
 

Message from the CEO

While latest news are all related to the Covid-19 pandemic, why not talk about all good things in life instead?

We at Thalias have issued here a newsletter that will hopefully cheer you up and make you forget these difficult times, at least for the time of your reading. From French cheese to Cambodian herbs, we have selected a few stories to share with you our love for good food and fine cuisine, for you to enjoy while you may be practicing social distancing at home. In the meantime, we are still open and welcome you in the safety of our Topaz, Malis and Khéma restaurants in Phnom Penh where we follow the most stringent hygiene measures.

Please enjoy the reading and take care.

Yours sincerely,

Arnaud DARC
CEO and Chairman Thalias Hospitality Group
