AIHM HIGHER

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. 

The team of consultants gathered in the Situation Room. The hotel’s senior management awaited them with a problem. The two parties assembled to tackle the issue. The luxurious riverside property in the heart of Bangkok is an exceptional hotel in a market filled with exceptional hotels. How might the property elevate its suite experience to keep its position amongst the top of pack? 

Managers are made, not born. Certainly, each individual has their own innate strengths, but to reach their full potential and maximise their growth, people need mentors and teachers to guide them along the way. AIHM’s faculty work hard to unlock the potential within each and every student. AIHM lecturers help students develop the skills they need to succeed in the business world and to continue growing on their own paths after graduation.
