Loeb-bros arguing for an impact for the Younger Dryas can take solace in the evidence for earlier impacts. One such formed a Tektite Strewn Field all over southeast Asia and Australia (skipping New Guinea). One Kerry Sieh is most-associated with the theory, on account he thinks he's found the crater: a volcano ate it. Specifically, the Bolaven in greater Thailand now part of Laos.
Not everybody is amused by that line of argument. Jiří Mizera, especially, accepts - I think - that a mess o' tektites has littered the southeast Old World. He just doesn't like where Sieh has set it. Anyway now youtubers with a sideline in bad AI are talking about it. So it's probably time to take note(s).
The present consensus might be Carling et al.: on the MIS 20 large meteorite impact (c., 788 to 785 ka)
or 786-783 kBC.
