public final class ThaiSolarCalendar
extends AbstractWesternCalendar

The Thai solar calendar, the official civil calendar of Thailand: the Gregorian calendar carrying Buddhist Era (B.E.) year numbers, so a Thai year Y is AD Y-543 and AD 2026 is B.E. 2569. Siam adopted the Gregorian month-and-day structure in 1888 and moved the new year to 1 January in 1941; it is a national civil calendar, not an individual's invention. The twelve months (มกราคม through ธันวาคม) and the seven-day week are the Gregorian ones in Thai, of 28 to 31 days, leaping by the Gregorian rule, so a common year is 365 days and a leap year 366. The epoch is the proleptic 1 January 544 BC (Julian Day 1523098). Its calendar type is CalendarTypes.THAI_SOLAR, and it is paired with UTCTimeDefinition.
