 Cambodia's History
The 13th and 14th centuries were not as successful for Cambodia, some believe it was due to the increased power of (and wars with) Thai kingdoms that had at one time paid homage to Angkor.
Cambodia was ravaged by Vietnamese and Thai invasions and wars up until the 19th century, when new dynasties in these countries fought over control of Cambodia.
A name change for the country was in order, so in 1993 Cambodia became known as the Kingdom of Cambodia and Sihanouk became the king once again after ratifying a new constitution which re-established the monarchy.

 The Rolex Awards: reviving silk production in Cambodia, K. Morimoto
At one time, Morimoto claims, Cambodia’s ikat silk was actually superior to Japan’s, and silk products held pride of place in the national culture, as the kimono still does in Japan.
The decline of the craft in Cambodia in the second half of the 20th century was precipitous, not only because of war, but also because of new technology and the arrival of cheap synthetic fabrics.
In Cambodia, "yellow" silkworms evolved to match the tropical climate, while in the more temperate regions of China and Japan, higher-producing "white" silkworms are the insects of choice.
