Bangkok bar fire death toll rises to 30 as police probe possible negligence

A fire broke out at a music bar in Bangkok, Thailand, resulting in a death toll of 30 people and leaving 24 individuals in critical condition. The incident occurred at Rong Beer Na Ladprao bar in the Chatuchak area, where firefighters took 30 minutes to extinguish the blaze. Authorities are investigating potential negligence and safety violations, including whether the bar's exits were properly accessible and if gas canisters were improperly stored. The fire may have originated from an electrical short circuit in a ceiling air conditioner, though investigations are ongoing. Bangkok's governor announced plans for stricter inspections and a committee to review safety regulations.
