Message from the CEO

September is here again and, for many of us, it's back-to-school season. Thalias has been working hard during these summer holidays, especially with a few students who took part in the intensive SmartEdu University Student Development Program (USDP) Bootcamp. Learn more about this unique educational challenge and Thalias' involvement in our dedicated article below.

We also put our efforts into bringing you something exciting with Malis' new menu that include many original mouthwatering dishes and desserts. For those who cannot wait to visit us, have a look at some of our typical Cambodian recipes in this newsletter. We look forward to welcoming you soon at Malis so you can tell us what you think.

We have also thought of those who would like to extend their holidays with a focus on a quiet getaway in the countryside near Phnom Penh - and other stories about Cambodia to liven up your vacation with some reading!

Yours sincerely,
Arnaud DARC
CEO and Chairman Thalias Hospitality Group
