I took out the Bangkok festival link because it does not exist now.Rlevse 17:43, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
I'm currently looking for the reference, but Thai historians usually link Loy Krathong to "invented traditions," which is to say: this is not actually something stemming from the Sukhothai era, but was created during the Rattanakhosin period (the modern era).
Aajaan Udom, from Chiang Mai University, has an article similarly linking the Chiang Mai fire balloon to a different ceremony - the "khoom loy" is not, in fact, historically "Thai."
Does someone have these references? I'll look for them myself here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Huanohk (talk • contribs) 18:05, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi Paul. Thanks, that's perfect. Although I'd prefer an academic source over a newspaper, but that's great. Huanohk (talk) 17:27, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
While it appears that there is confusion over the 2013 Loi Krathong celebrations - it does not appear that they are officially canceled: Citynews - Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has confirmed that major Loy Krathong events in Chiang Mai will NOT be cancelled or postponed. http://www.chiangmaicitynews.com/news.php?id=2566 Oct 28, 2013, Chiang Mai City News — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.169.71.136 (talk) 18:26, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Prevent the vandalism acts!! I believe the editions should be made independently and accurately for Wikipedia article and its readers.
1. Etymology Based on various sources, the word "krathong" is really originated from Khmer word "kantong". Notifying that the word "krathong/kanthong" refers to "container made of leaves" NOT "lamp or lantern (kom)." 2. History The history that claimed Loi Krathong of originating from Sukhothai period is confirmed to has derived from recent legend written in 18th-19th century (Rattanakosin/ Early Bangkok period). And new researches and studies from independent Thai researchers proved that the festival was originated from Khmer Empire as evidenced with bas reliefs carved at Angkorian temples built in 12th century. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrew 1115 (talk • contribs) 13:20, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
กระทง (krathong) is a loan word from the Khmer word កន្ទោង /kɑntouŋ/kantong Small container made of banana leaves (used esp. for steaming cakes or as a container for religious offerings such as food, tobacco, or betel). 2601:601:1B80:8040:4F77:9D09:6CAD:B0D6 (talk) 10:01, 19 November 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:601:1B80:8040:359D:F3B5:A9ED:78A1 (talk)
