  • Enum Constant Details

    • RATTANAKOSIN

      public static final ThaiSolarEra RATTANAKOSIN
      The Rattanakosin era started counting of years on 6th of April in 1782 and was decreed by king Rama V in year 1888 and used until the calendar reform of king Rama VI in year 1912. According to Wikipedia this era started/starts years on first of April (even after 1940). Time4J always converts the Rattanakosin era to Buddhist era in any thai-date-input. Users should mainly use this era for the years 1888-1912.

    • BUDDHIST

      public static final ThaiSolarEra BUDDHIST
      Standard era where users add 543 years to the gregorian AD-year in order to get the buddhist year counting. Before year 1941, the buddhist year started on first of April, then on first of January.
