 The
Thai Calendar Thailand has adopted the western calendar
to divide the year into days, weeks and months, using
Thai names for these units. Years are numbered according
to the Buddhist era (BE) which commenced 543 years
before the Christian era. Therefore 2003 AD is BE 2546
and 2004 is BE 2547.
National public holidays Thailand's
national public holidays are linked to religious or
agricultural traditions and follow the lunar calendar,
therefore the dates for some of the holidays change each
year. For the precise dates of the lunar holidays and
festival locations, check www.tourismthailand.org
