Have been to B2S, Big C, Tesco, several smaller stationary stores etc.

No one has 2015 western style (aka Gregorian) calendars or even Thai Calendars for that matter. Surely, i tell myself, the next store will have one. Then surprise surprise they do not.

The closest I have come was at Maya in some shop on the third floor. They had a calendar that started in September 2015 and covered 2016. I got really excited at one shop when they said yes, but as it turned out they were referring to the calendar that they were using behind the desk at the till.

My next stop would be tourist/souvenir shops. Save that will end up printing A4 calendar sheets and taping them to the fridge!

Thanks for listening.

A bit of a stab in the dark, but it may be something to do with the fact that it is July in a weeks time, when we will be closer to the start of 2016 than the start of 2015, so leave it for just a short while and you'll be able to buy the new editions. I'm sure that if their english was a bit better they might have said "not much demand at this time of year".

Its one thing i ask my mum to do for me every year; to get me the vertical hanging flipover type.

Following horizontal numbers here and trying to work out the Thai days is not always easy.

Plus the fact my uk calendar doesnt have buddha days highlighted so its always a genuine disappointment when she says sorry no sex today.

I certainly hope your not saying you enjoy sex with your mother (mum).... That would be just extremely weird if not rather sick! Please say I'm wrong in what I just read.

There is a very small window to buy calenders,if you don't have one

by December,for the following year,you will most likely be out of luck,

most of the Banks give them out,the wife likes these as the usually have

pictures of the Royal family.

The one I need is a large desktop business planner type calender ,which

i fix to the the wall,next to where i take breakfast,I mark dates for 90 day,

extension,birthdays and other important dates.

In the last couple of years I find there are less calenders about,I used to

buy several large wall calenders with colour pictures of Thailand,and send

them to friends and family, overseas,but I have not found them for the last

couple of years.already gone,or never there,I don't know

As suggested,they only place you will find one now is to download on line.

Always get a wall calendar with the Royal Family and a smaller desk top type from Bangkok Bank.

Usually under the counter.Ask in early December because they don't last long !

There are some charities that sell the desk top type.I remember City Life promoting one ,great for a present.

Thought Thai Visa had one you could download,worth a check.

Barring that the bookshop, downstairs, at Big C Mae Hia had desk top ones a while ago.

Reminds me of an old tale of Newcastle football club where one particular seat was noticeably empty for every game until a chap arrived and sat in it on Boxing Day.

When asked where he'd been since the season started in August, he replied glumly "The wife bought me a season ticket for Christmas".

I think he is looking for a 2015 colander. He had the opportunity to get a 2016 calendar that also had September, October, November and December on it but passed it up.

He should have got that one and just taken a picture of July and August.

How to tell the date with this?

Yes, according to Newcastle fans.

I see you have a computer, with internet, obviously you posted this request. I suggest you forget the reliance on a paper calendar and start using an online one, I have been using the calendar that Google supplies along with Gmail, absolutely awesome and totally idiot proof. Oh it also works across all of your device's, make an entry on the pc and it will appear on your phone in a few seconds.
