Sala Bai Hotel & Restaurant School: A Pathway to Hospitality Excellence
Training Mission
Sala Baï functions as a vocational training school that educates 150 students annually in hospitality at no charge. Established by the French NGO Agir Pour le Cambodge in 2002, the school aims to combat poverty and human trafficking through professional training of underprivileged Cambodians. The program covers everything from lessons to daily expenses, ensuring students have the support they need to succeed.
Student Impact
Students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and range from 17 to 23 years old. The program trains them across five disciplines: Restaurant, Cooking, Front Office, Housekeeping, and Beauty Therapy. The diploma awarded is recognized by two Cambodian Ministries, enhancing their employability in the hospitality sector.
Dining Experience
The Sala Baï training restaurant offers a diverse menu, featuring both Khmer and international dishes crafted by the students. Open for lunch on weekdays from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM, the restaurant provides guests an opportunity to enjoy meals while actively contributing to the student training program. Special dietary requests, including vegetarian and gluten-free options, can be accommodated.
Wellness Services
The training hotel includes a Beauty Salon where students in Beauty Therapy provide a range of beauty treatments. Services are offered according to training schedules and student needs. This facility enhances hands-on experience while providing guests with affordable beauty treatments.
