Team Building & CSR Projects

Teambuilding and CSR projects are still on the challenging trend in Cambodia. Most of everyone DMC and event company tries to use this market niche on their specialties but they are still far below the competency. Seeing this Challenge and with the years of experience in teambuilding and event management focus, Sam has set Team building project as the core business product.

Special Dining Event Venue

Nothing is too new and secret to one expertised agency in term of special and exclusive dining event venues. Everyone knows what and where they are. However, having the right one to the right customers sometimes, it comes to a great challenge. Sam and his team use their areas of expertise, experiences, and the risk assessment knowledge to present to the clients with choices and their pros and cons.

Meeting & Convention Space

Who has better knowledge and experience than the meeting and conference space providers themselves. However, there are still gaps that you may need assistances from the independent event consultants. SI team has the best knowledge of the event venues, meeting and conference spaces in the destinations. What is even more important, they understand the level of the team competency in delivering the sold products.

Tours & Activities

There are so many tours and activities providers in Cambodia from hotels to tour operators and agencies. This made it hard for the event and incentive house to decide who specialize in what. Sam and his team have placed themselves in specialized tour and event management industry for almost 20 years, therefore Sam is the best to give you the most reliable comments on what to do and who can deliver what.

Insurances for Tour Operator or DMC in Cambodia

Most important point ever is about TO’s / DMC’s overseas partners. Insurances for most developed countries are very important to them. Before decided to work with any local DMCs and Tour Operators, they must have observed and inspected whether these DMCs and TOs hold any insurance or appropriate insurance. It is true that some tour companies might be lucky to have trusted and good partners that they are not serious on this but not all. If they don’t have this already published on your public site like website, offline display, or even attached on the email communication, they would definitely have lost some businesses or partners already even before those contacted them for the very first time.

Updates from Sam

Founder’s Message

My name is Samnang Chhon known as Sam. Greetings from Siem Reap, Angkor, Cambodia. I write to update you on happenings around Siem Reap as we enter a period of hope and recovery, especially for those individuals and communities that are connected to tourism.

A new chapter begins

I am announcing my post Covid-19 business incubator of a Destination Service Management, SAM INSPIRE Cambodia. It will focus on Team Building, CSR projects, Event Management, Outdoor Learning for School trips and Film Stringer Services in Cambodia. As many of you know these are areas of my expertise.

The business was relaunched in September 2022, with the successful Danone Nutrition Face to Face Conference in Siem Reap and TurnUp Business Pitching of 500 Global event in Phnom Penh and a Hybrid event “ECA Partner Meet 2023” of Education Centre of Australia event taken place at Sofitel Angkor hotel in Siem Reap. And a Travel Documentary production “Verwunschene Tempel und schwimmende Dörfer – Faszinierendes Kambodscha” by a German production company. And few other event projects…

In parallel with my event business, I have also partnered with Wine Store B2B as well as Luxury F&B Catering service in Cambodia. These partnerships, provide pricing power and flexibility for your Cambodian event needs. Furthermore, I have partnered with my Teambuilding developing partner, Mr. Rolf Graf, founder of BEUNITE in Thailand.

Personal update

I take this opportunity to share my story of life during the past few difficult years. I hope to bring you encouragement.

After the pandemic began in March 2020, my travel company battled through daily cancellation of group and individual trips. Faced with the inevitability of the crisis I have decided to leave and start a new life adventure. My first survival job involved working in the construction of a friend’s Project (The RICE). With no skill or experience and little earnings it proved difficult due to lockdowns.

As you may know I am the founder of a small charity, All For Kids Organization, known as Angkor Kids Centre, supported primarily by friends in Germany known as Helpucation e.V. These friends knowing my situation generously proposed a job for me to work for AKC and from their own pockets supported me for which I am grateful. I was able to develop the TESOL curriculum and teach a English classes. With the management of the office and classroom now optimised, I continue my teaching my advanced classes in the evening.

I then began a short-term contract, now ended working for the international non-profit organization called Plan International Cambodia. The year was a significant one for my development, formalizing my social and business work with international standards of work and management in social governance, security and logistics procurement.

Within this busy time, I have also registered to a 4-month-long Professional Diploma Digital Marketing online course run by Asia Pacific Institute of Digital Marketing (APIDM). This course helps me with my business as well as allowing me to share my knowledge to the growing generation ready to be taught these skills in Cambodia.

Right after the border reopened, I made my overseas trip to the neighbouring countries, Singapore and Thailand. In Singapore, my trip was hosted by Mr. Tan Peng Ann, the founder of Sangkhoem Khmer organization (SKK), a charity running the school project Ta Keo in eastern Siem Reap. In Singapore, I was invited to join the management committee of SKK. I met also the President of Rotary Club Mount Sophia, Mr. Wong Song Hong. As part of Rotary International’s new policy I was offered the role as Asean member. After Singapore, I visited Thailand, invited by Mr. Rolf Graf to see his Tree Planting in a rural village of Surin, Northeast of Thailand. Here we worked on teambuilding, CSR (Corporeal Social Responsibility) and ESG (Environmental Social Governance).

Looking back on these years on what I have experienced and learned, I am refreshed. As a family we learned to take a rest and enjoy what we have. My two children are healthy and happy. My son, Karuna is back to grade 8 and my daughter Meta is entering into her grade 4. They both learn basic English at my free English school, Angkor Kids Centre.

Lastly, I hope that you will keep me in mind for any event, team building, conference, incentive trips or your personal visit to Cambodia, especially to Siem Reap. I will be more than happy to assist or partner with you to prove the best of Siem Reap. Here I would like to make this presentation for you to recall a bit of Cambodia Destination products as following:

– General destination presentation here

– Teambuilding and CSR project here

– Random video on YouTube here

My regards, and best wishes from Angkor, Siem Reap. I hope to hear back from you and am happy to again be able to provide you with opportunities.

Best regards,

Sam,

International SOS

Dear All, On behalf of our 80 people at International SOS and of course thank you so much from Dr Myles and I and Angela, for your amazing help, dedication to the task, and outstanding service last week. All our people were amazed and thrilled and all commented how lovely and helpful and professional you all were at the Sofitel Angkor and at Sam's team. We had the best week, and the conference was a huge success and it was a lot to do with your great attention to service. At the Sofitel the food, quality, rooms, service, staff and the conference set up was first class. And Sam, the organisation and support by you and your team was superb! Congratulations on your hotel, company, staff and yourselves! It was a great experience we didn’t want to leave! From Dr Myles and Michael!

Manitou Group

While planning a company event, we were looking for options to make our 70 guests discover authentic Cambodia lifestyle and have an enjoyable tour of Angkor Temples. Sam was an obvious partner from the beginning since he was very responsive, smart, communication was smooth and easy, and he was the only one able to customize his offer to meet our needs and special requirements (in comparison with other local agencies that we contacted). When D-day arrived, Sam’s team shown a very good organization. It is not easy to handle such a big multicultural group especially when agenda is very tight, but Sam did it! We went for a tour to a floating village, and meet the people living there. That was an amazing experience. We were humbled and had a good life lesson! But the best part is that it was really authentic, a memorable authentic experience that I believe, only Sam and ANT can provide! Besides this amazing tour, we went for a temple tour to Angkor Wat, Bayon and Ta Phrom. Again, the perfectly smooth organization from Sam’s team allowed us to visit 3 temples without rushing in a half day where all the other agencies say this is not possible. Our guests were all really happy! On behalf of Manitou Asia & Manitou Group, I would like to say a huge thank you to Sam again for being such a good partner to us during this event. Your knowledge of your country, and your customer focus are 2 precious gifts that will surely lead you to success! I strongly recommend him to anybody who wants to have a memorable experience in Cambodia with no trouble! Mathieu Procureur HR & Marketing Projects Specialist, APAC
