King Norodom Sihamoni's Coronation Day is a public holiday in Cambodia celebrated every year on October 29! The King's Birthday is a major Cambodian holiday that allows the people of Cambodia to express their patriotism and appreciation for their progressive government.
After pulling the surviving bits of the once-great country back together, Cambodia's Constituent Assembly established a constitutional monarchy, and Norodom Sihanouk was then re-instated as King in 1993. The next decade saw the role of the monarchy in Cambodia slowly fade, as politicians grew in power and influence. Norodom Prohmbarirak ruled Cambodia from 1860 to 1904 and is referred to by many as the first modern Khmer king.
