Yes, and for some theirs is the main one. It's now year 2565 BE in Thailand, you won't really see "2022" that much outside of strictly tourist-oriented references. Use a Thai VPN when googling and that's the date you will see in search result listings.

I believe the next version of ISO 8601 is expected to support different calendar & time systems.

Both are used. While government orgs are likely to favor the Buddhist calendar, many businesses will use Gregorian. It's definitely not an artifact of tourism.

To wit: When are the most fireworks set off? Your choices are 'global' new year, Thai new year and Chinese new year.

I would guess 100% of Thai people (at least those living in Thailand) know what year it is in both calendars.

Use DDG and you won't be forced to use the locale / language Google has deemed appropriate for your IP address.


Sure. The majority of the time it's not the western year IME. Fireworks, depends where you live I guess. I haven't seen many at all.
