For several months now, Cambodge Mag, a magazine published by the Thalias group, is finally available in English.
Acquisition
Created in 2014, Cambodge Mag was acquired by the Thalias Group in October 2017. The title was acquired by Thalias and its creator and editor-in-chief, Christophe Gargiulo, joined the group.
The acquisition of the title by the Thalias group has made it possible to develop many additional sections such as tourism, gastronomy and culture. It has also made it possible to create a high-quality communication tool not only for the group, but also for the entire French-speaking community in Cambodia. Above all, the magazine’s editorial line has finally allowed the development of a positive image of Cambodia, which had previously been largely demonised by many foreign media.
Today
Cambodge Mag has become a benchmark and a must-read, particularly appreciated for its profiles and destinations section, which highlights and promotes hotels, ecotourism sites and resorts in the Kingdom. And it’s available for French speaking readers but also for the whole anglophone community
Fun facts
The magazine is the first to integrate AI into its illustrations, with weekly roundups presented by a virtual journalist who has become incredibly popular on social media. For the record, this “journalist” is the descendant of the first virtual presenter to appear on Cambodian television (Apsara TV) in 2007 during a music show, DJ Land, hosted at the time by Christophe Gargiulo.
