The Story

Chumkiri is a remote district in Kampot Province where dense jungle meets the foothills of the Cardamom Mountains. The 10-hectare site was acquired in 2022 as AIF's founding asset — a blank canvas for an exclusive eco-camp for travellers seeking genuine wilderness without sacrificing comfort. Phase 1 established the land boundary, access roads, site infrastructure, communal kitchen, dining pavilion, and 8 tented bungalows. Phase 2 completes the remaining 12 bungalows, a river swimming area, guided trekking programme, and an agricultural trail through the coconut and durian plantation. At full operation the camp offers 20 exclusive bungalows generating revenue through nightly bookings, private group retreats, and agricultural produce.

The Story

Kampot town sits on the banks of the Kampot River at the edge of the Gulf of Thailand — a former French colonial port that has evolved into Cambodia's most beloved slow-travel destination. Known for its world-famous Kampot pepper, crumbling colonial architecture, and unhurried riverside lifestyle, the town draws a growing wave of design-conscious travellers willing to pay premium rates for authentic, well-crafted experiences. The Kampot Riverside Boutique is a 12-room property positioned directly on the riverfront, designed around the town's identity: whitewashed walls, handcrafted Khmer furniture, a pepper-farm dining experience sourcing exclusively from local plantations, and a riverside terrace that becomes the town's most sought-after sunset spot.

The Story

Siem Reap is the gateway to Angkor Wat — a UNESCO World Heritage site drawing over 2 million international visitors annually. Unlike mass-market strip hotels near the airport, the Old Quarter retains the character of a colonial-era market town with tree-lined streets, artisan workshops, and a growing ecosystem of high-end boutique hospitality. The Siem Reap Heritage Villa is an 18-room property built in the traditional Khmer courtyard style — thick laterite walls, carved wooden screens, a central landscaped garden, and a rooftop terrace with temple views. Revenue streams include boutique accommodation, a curated cultural experience programme (private Angkor temple tours at dawn, Khmer cooking masterclasses, traditional silk weaving workshops), and private event hosting for small destination weddings and corporate retreats.
