Explanation
ข่าวโคมลอย combines ข่าว, “news,” with โคมลอย, a floating lantern. The expression is figurative: it describes information that is floating around without a firm basis. It often carries a mildly critical tone, implying that the information is unreliable or should not be trusted without evidence.
Usage
It is commonly used when talking about politics, celebrities, companies, or social media rumors that have no official confirmation or clear evidence. It fits situations where information is circulating but seems doubtful.
Caution
Do not use it for confirmed news or official announcements. Calling something ข่าวโคมลอย can sound like you are dismissing it as baseless, not merely saying it is unconfirmed.
