Maybe. Maybe they're using a different calendar where the current year is actually 2020. The current year is 2565 in the Thai calendar. Putting "๒๕๖๕ กิโล, 2565 กิโล" into Google Translate to translate Thai into English results in "2022 kilometers, 2022 kilometers", because it treats the numbers as years and tries to helpfully convert them to Gregorian. Fun!
