Despite adopting ISO 8601, Thai official date is still written in D/M/YYYY formats, such as 30 January 2567 BE (2024 AD) or 30/1/2567. [1] Anno Domini may be used in unofficial context, and is written in the same format (D/M/YYYY). In full date format, the year is marked with "พ.ศ." (Buddhist Era) or "ค.ศ." (Anno Domini) to avoid confusion.
National standard format is yyyy-mm-dd. [161] dd.mm.yyyy format is used in some places where it is required by EU regulations, for example for best-before dates on food [162] and on driver's licenses. d/m format is used casually, when the year is obvious from the context, and for date ranges, e.g. 28-31/8 for 28–31 August.
The little-endian format (day, month, year; 1 June 2022) is the most popular format worldwide, followed by the big-endian format (year, month, day; 2006 June 1). Dates may be written partly in Roman numerals (i.e. the month) [citation needed] or written out partly or completely in words in the local language.
The date format follows the Chinese hierarchical system, which has traditionally been big-endian. Consequently, it correlates with ISO 8601 — year first, month next, and day last (e.g. 2006-01-29). A leading zero is optional in practice, but is mostly not used.
Thai birth certificates record the date, month and time of birth, followed by the day of the week, lunar date, and the applicable zodiac animal name. Thai traditionally reckon age by the 12-year animal-cycle names , with the twelfth and sixtieth anniversaries being of special significance; but the official calendar determines age at law.
