I don't know for certain, but I'd almost bet money that those describe pentatonic scales pulled from the Thai-traditional tuning of (very close to) 7-tone-per-octave equal-temperament. The 2s mean a skip of two (1/7-octave) steps and the 1s mean a skip of 1 step. This would be in analogy to the Western, 7-toned major scale drawn from 12TET chromatic scale, following the pattern 2 2 1 2 2 2 1.
