===Buddhist Era===
In Thailand the sacred, or [[Buddhist Era]], is reckoned to have an epochal [[year 0]] from 11 March 543 BC, believed to be the [[Gautama Buddha#Mahaparinirvana|date of the death]] of [[Gautama Buddha]]. King [[Vajiravudh]] (Rama VI) changed year counting to this Buddhist Era (abbreviated BE) and moved the start of the year back to 1 April in 2455 BE, 1912 CE. As there is no longer any reference to a vulgar or popular era, the Common Era may be presumed to have taken the place of the former.
