PHNOM PENH - CAMBODIA'S royal palace says King Norodom Sihamoni has gone to China for a medical checkup, but no details about his health have been given.
The palace says in a brief statement that the constitutional monarch flew to Beijing on Monday. The statement does not say how long he'll stay or whether there's a particular reason for his checkup.
Keo Puth Puth Reasmey, a brother-in-law of the king, told reporters at the airport that the king was advised by his Chinese doctors to have a medical checkup every six months.

Keep your virulent comment just inside KI please,don't contaminate and spread over Khmerization.
If you don't like monarchy,
turn your little Long Beach base into little Khmer republic then. Respect the will of the majority Khmer people who endorse the constitution. You are still proud of Khmer republican flag which brought to the moon in the 1970's right ?
It was the fluke ! and Khmer still owe the fee more than $400 millions now.
King Sihanomi is a well respect king of ours. Regardless of his father past mistakes, King Sihamoni shouldn't deserve to be direspected by anyone. Please don't make assumtion and generalization that he's also a bad king just because his father had done some wrongs to Cambodia. King Sihamoni was chosen by Khmer, unlike his father, which was chosen by the French. Khmer should be proud to know that they still have king.
King Sihamoni has done nothing wrong. He is a good king. He should not be condemned for the mistakes of his father, people need to remember that.
