AIHM HIGHER

Are you living in Thailand (or elsewhere in Southeast Asia) and dreaming of a university education abroad to launch yourself into a top-tier career? Earning a Bachelor’s degree in Europe requires, on average, three to four years of full-time academic study abroad. A Bachelor’s degree from the United States can take even longer, with most students needing four to five years to complete all their requirements. That’s a lot of time and a lot of money.

Developing teams and individuals is an ongoing process that thrives on clear communication, structured goals, and a supportive environment. By fostering collaboration, setting clear expectations, and creating space for growth, organisations can empower their people to succeed. Let’s explore key strategies to build stronger teams and more capable individuals.

The AIHM experience is a special one. As students, we come from a diversity of backgrounds and nationalities—while all sharing many of the same passions and goals. The Student Committee is devoted to fostering and ensuring this special experience for all of us. Together as a Committee, we work hard to enhance student wellbeing and develop a strong sense of community within AIHM.

Leadership involves a distinctive set of skills. You need to learn how to look after and empower your team as individuals—as well as a group who works to achieve goals together. You balance the personal and the collective.

AIHM’s students come from cities throughout Thailand and the world to reshape the future of the hospitality business. They pursue their own individual dreams. They work toward their goals. And, importantly, they learn the foundational skills for creating a sustainable impact on businesses and communities.

Education provides more than just knowledge. The value of education is in the experience it provides, a new way of looking at life, and building connections between it all.

When I moved to the Maldives in 2010, it was the second time in my life that I went to live in a place where I knew almost no one.

Let’s face it: higher education can be tough for anyone. But for students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), the challenges can feel like trying to climb Mount Everest with a backpack full of bricks. At AIHM, we’re all about helping our students lighten that load, so they can focus on what really matters—learning, growing and thriving.  

You were meant to be a leader. You know you have the potential to achieve more, to move up the career ladder into positions with more responsibility and opportunity. You have dreams. You have goals. And AIHM Executive Education has five ways to help you achieve them this year.

AIHM enjoys a stunning location with itsBangkok campus located right on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. By day, you can gaze out at the city skyline and observe the life of the river. Long-tail boats, ferries, shuttle boats and a variety of vessels cruise the water. At night, the skyline becomes an array of dazzling lights. AIHM’s Bangkok campus offers beautiful views every day of the year, but one night stands out as the most exceptional. 

When I look at the fantastic students here at AIHM, I see a unique opportunity to build something truly special—a close-knit community, a culture of collaboration and a welcoming home where everyone has a place. As one of the smallest higher education institutes in Bangkok, with fewer than 200 students, we’re in a rare position to shape a vibrant, lasting culture from the ground up, a space where every voice truly matters. And in such a bustling, cosmopolitan city like Bangkok, this kind of close connection is all the more valuable.
