Message from the CEO

As schools are still closed and August sounds like holidays for many of us, what about taking advantage of this time to discover or re-discover what this amazing country has to offer?

One of the beauties of living in Cambodia is that paradise is never far away so there’s never any need to get on a plane to find it. And when you choose destinations such as the Cardamoms, Song Saa Private Island or even Phnom Penh, your holiday does more than just save on the planet’s carbon load. It becomes part of active efforts to support the local economy.

We, at Thalias, have then listed some of the best local destinations and social initiatives for you to take part in the national effort to support Cambodia's tourism industry, while having a good time with your friends and family.

Enjoy the reading!

Yours sincerely,

Arnaud DARC
CEO and Chairman Thalias Hospitality Group
