THE BASICS

What year is it in Thailand?

This year is 2569 B.E. (2026 A.D.).

How do I convert A.D. to B.E.?

Add 543 to a Gregorian year. For example, 1997 becomes 2540 B.E. and 2025 becomes 2568 B.E. Subtract 543 to go the other way.

Do leap years match the Gregorian calendar?

Yes. The Thai solar calendar shares Gregorian leap days. B.E. 2567 has a February 29 because the corresponding Gregorian year, 2024, is a leap year.

Why does Songkran fall in April?

Songkran is Thailand’s traditional April New Year festival. The current civil year begins on January 1. Read the Songkran guide.

Does the rule work for historical dates?

Older original records can follow the April-based civil year. For a date before 1941, check the historical option in the full date converter.
