My date of birth in Thai

Pick your date of birth to see how Thais write it — in the Buddhist Era, with the Thai month name and in Thai numerals — ready to copy into a Thai form.

How Thais write dates

• Full, in letters and invitations: วันจันทร์ที่ 5 มีนาคม พ.ศ. 2533 (Monday, 5 March BE 2533)
• Short, on forms: 5 มี.ค. 2533
• Numeric, day/month/BE year: 05/03/2533
• Thai numerals, in some official letters: ๕ มีนาคม ๒๕๓๓

Tips for foreigners in Thailand

• Thai forms (bank, hospital, condo, school) usually expect the Buddhist Era year: 1990 → 2533.
• Immigration forms, passports and visas use the Western year.
• Numeric dates are day/month/year — never month first as in the US.
• A Thai ID card or pink card shows the date of birth in both systems.
