Try changing the time zone and time formats. Assuming you are using windows 10. You can can also try changing the language to english us if you are on thai as default language.

Because the date in the picture indicates it is Buddhist calendar. I mentioned It is time, date & region specific. The answer is not why, but try. If it works by changing time zones, then you at last can work at the solution in another scope. The other one solution is this.

http://www.isunshare.com/windows-10/enable...windows-10.html

But i cannot try this method, as my windows is too updated and it does not have that calendar feature enabled unless i sign in to ms account which i do not want to.

The answer is changing the calendar from Buddhist to Gregorian. And you should get back the dates to MM DD YYYY correctly.

nope it doesn't work, the windows format changes my windows settings not my google search result settings, its weird. but because of my IP, it changes to google.co.th by default, that might be the issue.

Then try other dns if u suspect the google dns is doing those changes. I search another angle. It could probably be the Google browser that does this. Can you check if the language is correct? The worst you have to do is totally uninstall Chrome and reinstall back again.

nah i doubt its google browser because i can't read thai, all language and windows os is in English.
I've reformatted before, hence reinstalling chrome doesn't work. Been seeing these date years for years here.
Still trying to figure out how to switch it.

since you are browsing from Thailand, google will just redirect you to google.co.th

I guess you have to manually go to google.com or just change the domain of the current url sweat.gif

or read this old article
