A new chapter has opened for AIHM students with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Rosewood Bangkok. This partnership with one of the world’s most respected luxury hospitality brands is more than a formality—it’s a gateway to real opportunities. From first impressions made by our young professionals to long-term career pathways, the collaboration speaks volumes. But how did this relationship begin, and what does it mean for our students’ futures?

We sat down with Chris Meylan, COO of AIHM, to uncover the story behind this exciting step forward.

Luxury hotels captivate guests with flawless service and refined surroundings. Yet behind every smooth operation lies a world of strategy, leadership and logistics. At AIHM, students experience both the visible and the vital behind-the-scenes roles. Their second internship reveals the business engine driving hospitality success.

At AIHM, our young professionals take what they learn in the classroom and put these lessons to the test in real-world hotel environments. Each BBA student completes two different internships as part of earning their hotel management degree. These internships take them around the world, enhancing their global perspectives and giving them practical experience and insights they can highlight in their CVs when they graduate and embark on their career paths.

AIHM’s hospitality management students enjoy internships in some of the world’s most exclusive hotels and innovative resorts. On the AIHM Higher blog, we’ve shared internship stories from the Maldives and student experiences in the United Arab Emirates. Today, we turn our attention closer to home. Read on to discover what our students learned on their internships in Thailand.

A post from AIHM Student Ambassador Khemkhaeng Andrew Rohrbach, third-year Bachelor of Business Administration student in Global Hospitality Management

As a member of the first cohort of the Asian Institute of Hospitality Management in Academic Association with Les Roches, I’ve been able to benefit from a wealth of opportunities during my studies here. Soon after joining the institute, I participated in the PHIST conference, an initiative dedicated to sustainable tourism development hosted by the Phuket Hotel Association along with other industry partners.

AIHM champions the value of internships! They’re an opportunity to explore career tracks, to see how classroom learning intersects with real-world hotel operations and to form valuable industry connections while building experience. In fact, AIHM students in the BBA degree programme all benefit fromtwo separate semester-long internships during their studies.

Few careers in the world enable an amazing journey like a career in hospitality. Hospitality offers a platform for creating dream experiences, and its practitioners get to work in some of the most amazing settings in the world. So do AIHM’s interns.

From private islands and tropical resorts to stunning city hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants, AIHM’s hospitality management students are exploring their passions and developing their professional skills on their most recent internships.
