>"YOUR CALENDAR IS BASED ON A RELIGIOUS LEADER THAT NOT EVERYONE BELIEVES IN?"
Instead of taking the opportunity to make a holier-than-thou twitter rant the would-be probee would do better to reply to this by explaining that almost every religion and many cultures have one or more of their own.
- throwaway290 4y agoYes, 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.
- fdghsjakjhflds 4y ago> you won't really see "2022" that much outside of strictly tourist-oriented references 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.
- throwaway290 4y agoSure. 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.
