AIHM has campuses in both Bangkok and Pattaya.
The Bangkok Campus is located inside the Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel, right next to the Anantara Bangkok Riverside Resort. You’ll be in the centre of Minor Hotels’ hospitality complex, a thriving community of students and top hospitality professionals from across the globe.
The Pattaya Campus is located in the Royal Garden Plaza Pattaya, near some of the most recognisable hospitality names in Thailand, including the Avani Pattaya Resort.
You can reach both campuses easily, either by private taxi or other budget-friendly options, including the BTS Skytrain, which operates in Bangkok, or by bus from Victory Monument to Pattaya.
