The twelve year calendar is common to several South East countries. The version adopted in the old Kingdoms of Lanna and Laos differs in some respects.
1) The twelfth year is represented by an elephant instead of a boar.
2)The New Year starts during Songkran on April 13th.
3)The temples of each year are all in Lanna, except Wat Shwe Dagon in Rangoon.
Everyone in the north of Thailand knows their year of birth and will try to visit their temple on their birthday.
