So was it 2550 last week? I thought it was already 2551 before?

Since the Thai new year and the western new year do not change on the same date, seems like there would be a period where the above formula would not work.

If that was the case, then March 2008 would be 2551, and May 2008 would also be 2551. But one is the last part of the previous year and one is the first part of the new year.

Thought you would allready know that Op , as a longterm expat ....... :o

Does Anybody Really Know What Year It Is? by Chicago

As I was walking down the street one day

A man came up to me and asked me what the year was that was

on my watch, yeah

And I said

Does anybody really know what year it is

I don't

Does anybody really care

care

If so I can't imagine why

about time

We've all got time enough to cry

Oh no, no

And I was walking down the street one day

A pretty lady looked at me and said her diamond watch had

stopped cold dead

And I said

Does anybody really know what year it is

I don't

Does anybody really care

care

If so I can't imagine why

about time

We've all got time enough to cry

Oh no, no

And I was walking down the street one day

Being pushed and shoved by people trying to beat the clock,

oh, so I just don't know,

I just don't know

And I said, yes I said

Background Vocal:

People runnin' everywhere

Don't know the way to go

Don't know where I am

Can't see past the next step

Don't have to think past the last mile

Have no time to look around

Just run around, run around and think why

Does anybody really know what year it is

I don't

Does anybody really care

care

If so I can't imagine why

about time

We've all got time enough to die

Oh no, no

=====================

with slight lyrical alterations by SJ of "time" to "year"
