Calendrical.Buddhist (Calendrical v0.9.1)

Implementation of the Thai Buddhist (Buddhist Era) calendar.

The Buddhist calendar shares its month and day structure with the proleptic Gregorian calendar exactly. The only difference is the year numbering: years are counted from the death (parinirvana) of Gautama Buddha, traditionally placed at 543 BCE in the Gregorian calendar. The relation is:

buddhist_year = gregorian_year + 543

So 1 BE corresponds to proleptic Gregorian year −542 (543 BCE in the historical "no year zero" convention) and modern Gregorian 2026 CE corresponds to 2569 BE.

This calendar is the official solar calendar of Thailand, where it is used alongside the Gregorian calendar in everyday life.

Month and day structure

Months and days are identical to Calendrical.Gregorian. Leap years follow the proleptic Gregorian rule:

A year is a leap year if it is divisible by 4, except for centurial years that are not divisible by 400.

Day boundaries are at midnight, matching the Thai civil convention.

Reference

  • CLDR :buddhist calendar type. The CLDR era data places 1 BE (:be) at proleptic Gregorian −542-01-01.
  • This module follows Reingold & Dershowitz's Calendrical Calculations (4th ed.) practice of treating year-shifted Gregorian variants as a thin wrapper around the Gregorian implementation.
