The Rattanakosin era started counting of years on 6th of April in 1782 and was decreed by king Rama V in year 1888 and used until the calendar reform of king Rama VI in year 1912. According to Wikipedia this era started/starts years on first of April (even after 1940). Time4J always converts the Rattanakosin era to Buddhist era in any thai-date-input.
