Note about the endings of the months: all months having thirty days end with -ยน. All months having thirty-one days end with -คม. Feburary alone ends with -พันธ์. The months are named after the signs of the Zodiac.

In Thailand, the year is often shown in buddhist year, rather than the Gregorian system used in the West. To find a year in the Buddhist system, add 543 to the Gregorian year. For example, 2008 is Buddhist year 2551 (๒๕๕๑) .
