Thailand's calendar is based on the Buddhist and the calendars of Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar (formerly Burma) and Sri Lanka are similar but not exactly the same.

The calendar is a solar calendar, that used in China is lunisolar. Prior to 1912 (I think that's the correct year?) Thailand used a lunar calendar.
