During the 1980's, while taking a break from running a guerrilla campaign against Vietnamese forces and the KPRAF, Pol Pot would take trips to China or beach vacations to Thailand.
Photos from Nhem En, offical KR photographer and film maker, an interesting source of many photos from the PRK civil war, from the guerrilla side.

Good stuff. I've seen a lot of Nhem En's photos from the 80s/90s but not these. I've got his book but it's not very well written or organized.
Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
I hope he and his US sympathisers died painfully, and slowly.

He did have quite a miserable life in the time between his "trial" by Ta Mok and his death. There's a lot out there about it, the good Nate Thayer covered his trial and death.
