Mesa yon
Phuthsapha khom
Mithuna yon
Karakada khom
Singhaa khom
Kanyaa yon
Tulaa khom
Phruthsadyika yon
Thanwa khom
The months are now synchronised to the western calender (so Makara khom is identical to January). However, their traditional New Year's day - "songkran" - usually falls on approximately the same day as the Tamil varudapirappu.
Thailand, I think still follows Sanaathana Dharma
