But this year, a group of former students who had studied abroad decided to raise funds for charity. They have so far raised some $30,000 in flood relief. For flood victims like 73-year-old farmer Kroch Sann, that meant a little help after flooding destroyed his rice paddy.

However, neither side used the occasion for sideline talks in the country's ongoing political deadlock. In fact, neither side said much or anything to the other. Nor did they look at one another. Prime Minister Hun Sen and his political rival, Sam Rainsy, who is head of the Cambodia National Rescue Party, stood within 10 meters of each other as the king deplaned and greeted the dignitaries who stood in line to welcome him home. The Rescue Party has threatened to boycott a Sept. 23 meeting at the National Assembly that would mark the formation of the post-election government. That meeting must be held at the behest of the king, who can choose to postpone it. And so now both sides are waiting to see what he'll do, and how Cambodia's latest political drama will play out.
