In #Thailand, two main calendar systems are used alongside each other: the #ThaiSolarCalendar, based on the #GregorianCalendar and used for official and most day-to-day purposes, and the #ThaiLunarCalendar (a version of the #BuddhistCalendar, technically a #lunisolarCalendar).
I wrote up some notes on the Lunisolar calendars. It is mathematically fun trying to approximate lengths of time by discrete quantities like days, months, years... Periods is our holy grail. heiegg.github.io/lunisolar-ca... #mathematics #lunisolarcalendar
