Investigators discover serious flaws

A devastating fire at a pub in Bangkok resulted in the deaths of 30 people. Authorities discovered multiple safety violations, including blocked escape routes and lack of fire-resistant materials. The fire broke out late Sunday evening while a band was performing. One exit was obstructed by a candy stand, and another was marked 'Do not open' for staff only, confusing evacuees. Initial findings suggest the fire might have been caused by an air conditioner short circuit above the ceiling, though this has not yet been confirmed. Investigators are also looking into whether employees locked exits to prevent customers from leaving without paying their bills, although this remains unverified. Additionally, authorities are checking if the venue had proper licensing and whether unauthorized renovations contributed to the disaster.
