Stricter checks promised after Bangkok bar fire kills 30

A severe fire at a live music pub in Bangkok, Thailand, resulted in 30 deaths and numerous injuries, prompting the Bangkok governor to promise stricter safety inspections. The incident occurred on a weekend night at the Rong Beer Na Lat Phrao bar, located near major transportation hubs and shopping areas. Officials identified an electrical short circuit in a ceiling air conditioner as a potential cause, while police are investigating safety violations such as blocked exits and the use of flammable materials. The governor announced the formation of a committee to review safety protocols and increase random inspections. Relatives of the victims gathered at the hospital, with some still waiting for updates on missing individuals. Forensic teams continue to examine the scene to determine the exact cause and circumstances of the disaster.
