I always thought itnwas odd different coubtries didnt coubt years differently. Seems they do.
Fuck AD i am using BE from now on no matter what coubtry im in!

@freemo LOL you’ll discover during your stay here, there are many things the Thais do differently to us “farangs. That’s one of the many things that makes them so charming!

Lunisolar
A lunisolar calendar is a lunar calendar that compensates by adding an extra month as needed to realign the months with the seasons. Prominent examples of lunisolar calendar are Hindu calendar and Buddhist calendar that are popular in South Asia and Southeast Asia. Another example is the Hebrew calendar, which uses a 19-year cycle.
