Fire disaster in Bangkok Serious security flaws in the premises Death toll rises

A severe fire broke out at a pub in Bangkok, resulting in multiple fatalities and injuries. Investigations revealed several safety violations, including blocked escape routes, lack of fire-resistant materials, and possible unauthorized renovations. The number of deaths varies between reports, with some sources citing 32 victims and others stating 30. Over 70 people were injured, 20 seriously. According to Thai authorities, one exit was blocked by a candy stand, while another was marked 'Do Not Open' and obstructed by shelves, leaving only a narrow passage. The fire started possibly due to an electrical short in an air conditioner above the ceiling. The incident occurred during a live band performance at the pub, leading guests to flee toward the back of the building where they became trapped. The police are still investigating the exact cause of the fire and whether the exits were intentionally sealed.
