The Big Cheese with AKARYN Hotel Group’s Anchalika Kijkanakorn

In this week’s Big Cheese, we get a one-on-one chat with Anchalika Kijkanakorn, the Founder & Managing Director of AKARYN Hotel Group.

The great thing about my job is…

The possibility to create and develop “possibilities” and turn them into into realities.

The challenge for the industry is…

The ever-changing needs of travellers, their preferences and speed of change in technologies.

My greatest achievement is…

I don’t think I have made my greatest achievement yet, everyday is a small win.  One day, if my sons turn out to be great human beings, that will probably be my greatest achievement.

I try to relax by…

Maxing out my deadlifts in the gym.

I don’t understand why…

People complain If something isn’t right. Do something about it.

My favourite venue is…

Depends on what for…If it’s a wedding then definitely one of my hotels on the beach.

I’ve always wanted to travel to…

Too many places to list, it’s not where, it’s with whom.

I am scared to death of…

Nothing that I can think of.

I can’t live without…

My passport, my credit card.

I really wish I had…

More Time.

If I could invite four people to a dinner party, they’d be…

Trump and Obama together, that’d be a laugh, and to add to the pot, Theresa May and why not the Queen?

For anyone starting out in the industry one piece of advice I’d give would be …

Follow your instincts, not the rules.
