1) when the Thai year is 2546.
if add -2002, the year output is 544 (correct)
if add -2003, the year output is 544 (expecting 543)
              after add 14 month, the year is still 544
if add -2004, the year output is 545 (expecting 542)
              after add 14 month, the year is still 544
if add -2400, the year output is 941 (expecting 146)
              after add 14 month, the year is 940
if add -3000, the year output is 1541 (expecting ???)
              after add 14 month, the year is 1540

Please compile and run the attached code with jdk1.4.2-b17.
=============================
import java.util.*;

public class AddTest{
   public static void main(String[] args){
      int[] integers = {-2002, -2003, -2004, -2400, -3000};      
      for(int i = 0; i<integers.length; i++){  
        Calendar budcal = Calendar.getInstance(new Locale("th", "TH"));      
        System.out.println("Thai Year of now:"+budcal.get(Calendar.YEAR));   
        budcal.add(Calendar.YEAR, integers[i]);
        System.out.println("Year after adding "+integers[i]+" year:"+budcal.get(Calendar.YEAR));
        System.out.println("Month of now:"+budcal.get(Calendar.MONTH));
        budcal.add(Calendar.MONTH, 14);
        System.out.println("Year after adding 14 month:"+budcal.get(Calendar.YEAR));
        System.out.println("Month after adding 14 month:"+budcal.get(Calendar.MONTH));
        System.out.println("");
      }
   }
}

output:
