public enum ThaiBuddhistEra extends Enum<ThaiBuddhistEra> implements Era
An era in the Thai Buddhist calendar system.

The Thai Buddhist calendar system has two eras. The current era, for years from 1 onwards, is known as the 'Buddhist' era. All previous years, zero or earlier in the proleptic count or one and greater in the year-of-era count, are part of the 'Before Buddhist' era.

Do not use ordinal() to obtain the numeric representation of ThaiBuddhistEra. Use getValue() instead.

    • of

      public static ThaiBuddhistEra of(int thaiBuddhistEra)
      Obtains an instance of ThaiBuddhistEra from an int value.

      Returns:
      the BuddhistEra singleton, never null
      Throws:
