Almost, it is currently the year 2551 in Thailand so the year is + 543 not +432.

BUT, Thailand also uses a Lunar calendar and a Solar calendar for dating Buddhist Festivals so there are actually 3 calendars in use.

late night mathematics... emberrassing

thanks all for help!

so for non buddhist holiday related things, they use a solar calender with 365 days a year but the first month in thailand is april?

so 08.01.2009 = 04.01.2552 there?

or better use the names of the months?
