PHNOM PENH - CAMBODIA'S ailing former king Norodom Sihanouk returned home on Wednesday from Beijing where he spent nine months receiving medical treatment, officials said.
Mr Sihanouk and his wife were given a red-carpet welcome by family members, Prime Minister Hun Sen and other senior government officials upon arrival at Phnom Penh airport.
A smiling Mr Sihanouk, 88, pressed his hands together and kissed them in a traditional greeting to well-wishers before getting into a car that whisked him off to the royal palace.
One of Asia's longest-serving monarchs, the revered king abruptly quit the throne in October 2004 in favour of his son, citing old age and health problems.
Prince Sisowath Chivan Monirak, deputy president of the Cambodian senate, told reporters Mr Sihanouk had kept his promise 'to come back for Khmer New Year' and that the ex-monarch's doctors 'had no problem' with his return to Cambodia.
The new year festivities, which start on April 14 and last for three days, are a popular time for families to get together.

This guy should be on trial for war crime against humanity.
His history with cambodia has always been nothing but self serving his own interest. Just like his son, Prince Rannadick
This bloodthirsty has enjoyed his life to kill Khmers and to see them suffering. According to Khmer prediction, after he dies the Khmers will go into civil war again. So alive or dead, he has brought us only curse. This man must be confined to crazy house for ever
Royal rotten rats!
Have never done anything good for Cambodia and her people.
Countless deaths and suffering have been caused by the idiotic king.
GO AWAY SI-SA-NOUK!!!THE FATHER IS THE PLAYBOY KING, WHILE THE SON IS THE WEIRDO KING!!!IT IS SUCH A WASTE OF KHMER RICE TO KEEP THIS FAKE ROYAL FAMILY. THIS IDIOT ROYAL FAMILY ONLY KNOW HOW TO BENEFIT THEMSELVES AND NOTHING FOR THE KHMER NATION.
This Monarch has brought shame and losses to Khmers since his inauguration to the throne. Cochinchina (Kampuchea Krom) land was annexed to Yuon in 1949 under his royal ruling. He created Sihanuk trail to deliver military aid to Ho Chi Minh troops fighting American and consequently brought war on to our turf. His wife engaged in weapon smuggling with his mother-in-law to support the Viet-Cong. Sihanuk refused to listen to Cambodian congress to not do this. He accused some of the congressmen of national betrayal and had them executed. He joined Khmer Rouge and deceived our people to lay down weapons to Khmer Rouge just to be executed. Monique, his wife, manipulates Sihanuk to listen to her Yuon mother to serve the Yuon's interest. This Monarch does not care about us folks. He cares about his Yuon wife, mother-in-law, and families.
May Khmer souls rest in peace. May the soul of Khmer heroes: Preap In, Chau Bory, Sao Ngoy, Archa Hem Chiev, etc. find heaven.
Love and Peace,
Damaged Soul
Sihanouk, Monique, Ranariddh, Sihamoni are either traitors or sell-out to Yuon like Hun Sen. They will deserve the Sadam fate soon

Koh Tral Island must not be forgotten
By Ms. Rattana Keo
Why do Koh Tral Island, known in Vietnam as Phu Quoc, a sea and land area covering proximately over 10,000 km2 [Note: the actual land size of Koh Tral itself is 574 square kilometres (222 sq miles)] have been lost to Vietnam by whose treaty? Why don’t Cambodia government be transparent and explain to Cambodia army at front line and the whole nation about this? Why don't they include this into education system? Why?
Cambodian armies are fighting at front line for 4.6 km2 on the Thai border and what's about over 10,000km2 of Cambodia to Vietnam. Nobody dare to talk about it! Why? Cambodian armies you are decide the fate of your nation, Cambodian army as well as Cambodian people must rethink about this again and again. Is it fair?
Koh Tral Island, the sea and land area of over 10,000 square kilometres have been lost to Vietnam by the 1979 to 1985 treaties. The Cambodian army at front line as well as all Cambodian people must rethink again about these issues. Are Cambodian army fighting to protect the Cambodia Nation or protecting a very small group that own big lands, big properties or only protecting a small group but disguising as protecting the Khmer nation?
The Cambodian army at front lines suffer under rain, wind, bullets, bombs, lack of foods, lack of nutrition and their families have no health care assistance, no securities after they died but a very small group eat well, sleep well, sleep in first class hotel with air conditioning system with message from young girls, have first class medical care from oversea medical treatments, they are billionaires, millionaires who sell out the country to be rich and make the Cambodian people suffer everyday.
Who signed the treaty 1979-1985 that resulted in the loss over 10,000 km2 of Cambodia??? Why they are not being transparent and brave enough to inform all Cambodians and Cambodian army at front line about these issues? Why don't they include Koh Tral (Koh Tral size is bigger than the whole Phom Phen and bigger than Singapore [Note: Singapore's present land size is 704 km2 (271.8 sq mi)]) with heap of great natural resources, in the Cambodian education system?
Look at Hun Sen's families, relatives and friends- they are billionaires, millionaires. Where did they get the money from when we all just got out of war with empty hands [in 1979]? Hun Sen always say in his speeches that Cambodia had just risen up from the ashes of war, just got up from Year Zero with empty hands and how come they are billionaires, millionaires but 90% of innocent Cambodian people are so poor and struggling with their livelihood every day?
Smart Khmer girl Ms. Rattana Keo,
Click here...Karoke PornStar has returned. A new DVD is coming out soon. Pathetic!
Prime Minister Hun Sen where is Koh Trol ? Is Koh Trol belong to Vietnam or Cambodia ?
10 000 Km2 is so so big area isn't it Prime Minister ? Did you give Koh Trol and 10 000Km2 sea area to Vietnam as they say ? Or they just liar. Would Prime Minister clarify these please?
if you are the king that khmer people respect,take it koh trol island back from yun,if you can not do it you just stupid king.
THIS MAN SOULD BE ON TRIAL OF CONSPIRACY KILLING OWN PEOPLE ,AND HE NOT SUPPOSE TO STAY AND WALK AROUND TO MAKE MORE TROUBLE ,
Ah kbot chheat Sihanuk, because of him the country turn into chaos and the prime minister and his gangs turn into Youns slave.s
Ah sihanouk...ah sdach jongrai...
If no Sihanouk: Polpot, Hunsen never existed. Sometimes I keep thinking and wondered what would be like in Cambodia today if no these Brainwash destroyed our country?
Mr. Sam Rainsy must bring Ex King to World Court Of Justice for killing field. Otherwise, It is really unfair to other KR comrades such as S-21
