 Whereas the House of People's Representatives has passed a resolution that it is appropriate to change the calendar years so that they be suitable with the [present] epoch and the ancient tradition of the Thais;

This Act shall be called the "Calendar Years Act, 2483 Buddhist Era".

This Act shall come into force upon elapse of the limit of thirty days reckoned from the day of its publication in the Royal Gazette onwards.

The provisions of other laws, rules, and regulations which are already contained herein or are inconsistent herewith shall all be repealed.

The year called 2483 Buddhist Era shall end on the coming 31th day of December, and the year called 2484 Buddhist Era shall start on the 1st day of January that is to follow.
