In the poster, the word
มกราคม translates to January across multiple translation engines and LLM queries. I'm no Thai language expert

I'm not sure that the date you have given - 11-13 December is correct?

Also, what's the source of the Opening Ceremony info, being Friday December 12?

Hopefully we can get note clarity

There are a few indications here that David is correct about the date, month and year.

1. First of all it says the year is 2568, and the year 2568 equals the western year of 2025.

2. I have drawn a red line around the month indication and it says «ธันวาคม“ (Tanwakhom) which equals the month of December.

I think David is correct here
