PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) - Cambodia's royal family has traveled together to China for medical checkups.

King Norodom Sihamoni accompanied his mother and his father, the former king Norodom Sihanouk, to Beijing on Thursday for what family members called routine medical visits.

The 89-year-old former king has suffered a variety of health problems and in recent years has spent most of his time in China, where his doctors are based.

In October, he vowed never to leave his homeland again, saying he would ask his Chinese doctors to come to Cambodia.
