Thousands Greet New Monarch

Although having newly stepping up to the throne, King Norodom Sihamoni, 51, appears to have strong backing from his people. ABC this week reports, about 10,000 turned out to greet the monarch on his first royal visit to Pailin, a former stronghold of the Khmer Rouge.

Thousands of former soldiers from Cambodia's ultra-communist Khmer Rouge turned out in their one-time stronghold to welcome the country's new king, who was under house arrest during the genocidal regime's rule.

And from the looks of this site, it seemes likely that the new king will follow his father's lead in using the Web to help in self promotion.
