The holiday was reduced to one day from 2020 as part of a shake-up to reduce the number of holidays from 28 to 22. \nThe date may vary if the day falls on a weekend. \nThe holiday was established to celebrate the Royal Birthday of His Majesty Preah Bat Samdech Preah Baromneath Norodom Sihamoni\, the King of the Kingdom of Cambodia \nHistory of Cambodian King’s Birthday\nHM King Norodom Sihamoni is the son of His Majesty Preah Bat Samdech Preah Norodom Sihanouk\, Preahmahaviraksat. He was born on May 14th 1953 in Phnom Penh Capital. \nKing Sihamoni was educated in the Czech Republic and is known for his work as a cultural ambassador to Europe. He is also a renowned classical dance instructor. \nHis Majesty King Norodom Sihamoni has been the sovereign of Cambodia since October 29th 2004. \nHe was made king after being chosen by a nine-member throne council to become the next king after his father Norodom Sihanouk abdicated in 2004 due to ill health. \nEven though King Norodom Sihamoni’s father was King\, the King of Cambodia is an elected monarch\, making Cambodia one of the few elected monarchies of the world. \nThe King is elected for life and is chosen by the Royal Council of the Throne. The only stipulations are that the candidates must be part of the royal family and at least 30 years old. \nHow is Cambodian King’s Birthday Celebrated?\nTo mark the holiday\, the King makes offerings to monks and those less fortunate in society.
