The following was added anonymously into the article. As the article is my "child" I think that comment deserves preservation :-) andy
This is useful info - Srini / Khalai
Well for one thing, the Gregorian Year 2004 is 2548 in the Buddhist Era. Most cosmo thais follow the European calendar months, although there is a lunar calendar used for religious holidays. Long ago, when the Thais migrated from China, they brought their lunar system with them. However, since the agricultural (seasonal) cycles differed, the calendar was adjusted (and is different in different areas of Thailand and around SE Asia, for that matter).
[edit] Wikify
To 208.147.1.1: By wikify, I mean that I have attempted to make the article conform to the Wikipedia:Manual of Style so that it looks like a Wikipedia article. The principle aspects that apply to this article are: It must begin with a sentence, the subject of which is the title of the article; "See also" is a heading near the end of the article; a former version of the Wikipedia article being modified cannot be used as a reference; AD is to be written without periods; the ASCII dash '--' should be replaced by —. I have also corrected the categories so that both appear, and have italicized the titles of books. By the way, I am the author of Buddhist calendar and I have read Eade. — Joe Kress 07:11, Jan 19, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Revising
This is rather an important article, because many others refer to it for clarification of lunatic dates; but it is also rather a mess. I'm currently working on revising it in my Sandbox. Anyone want to come play with me? Pawyilee (talk) 09:09, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
