Here are this year's dates of Uposatha days as observed in Thai Buddhism (Dhammayutika-Nikāya und Mahā-Nikāya). This calendar follows the Dhammayut calculation — which, for the days marked with an asterisk*, is one day later than the Mahānikai.(1)

Astronomical calculation: According Vinaya the day starts with sunrise and not like in “modern calculation of time” at 00:00 o'clock. This starting point of a new day is in regard to the place and its elevation different. As full-moon start at the same time everywhere on earth, it is possible that the day of full-moon accrues, in accordance with the calculation of moon-phases, differently. For comparison the data of Mondphasen - Table 2018, CET (wikipedia), as the sun rise calculations of www.gaisma.com can be used. If the “day of full-moon, according to Vinaya, is meant as the day when a full-moon accrues, or a day that follows the occasion of a full-moon, could not be investigated. See also Discussions about request of Uposatha-days and Table 2016.
