Editing Thai solar calendar (section)

==Problems==
Using Buddhist era could easily cause confusion between itself and Anno Domini in the historical context. For example, Anno Domini {{currentyear}}, and Buddhist year {{currentyear}} (which corresponds to AD {{#time:Y|-543 years}}). Two-digit year numbering could cause even more confusion.

Another problem is the counting of the Buddhist era, which has changed several times in the past, including the inclusion of year 0, and the change of New Year's Day from April to January in 1941, has caused confusion in historical context as well. For example, many Thai people regard the establishment of the [[Ayutthaya Kingdom]] to be in 1350, which is direct conversion from Buddhist era 1893, while the actual date is 1351.

In computer programming, using the Buddhist era has sometimes caused the computer programs to void the license immediately, as the input values of the Buddhist era would exceed the expiration date for the program. Some users report that dates appear in future dates, due to the input data being the Buddhist era, while the computer is designed to accept [[Anno Domini]].
