Authorities report the death toll from a fire at a live music bar in Bangkok is rising, with figures reported as 30 on Tuesday and 32 by Wednesday. Several sources describe the blaze as tearing through the Rong Beer Na Lad Phrao bar/restaurant late Sunday night, rapidly engulfing the venue. Some victims are found near toilets, while families and officials continue identifying those who died and retrieving bodies.
In the days following the fire, dozens of injured people remain hospitalized, including some in critical condition. Reporting also indicates survivors and relatives visit police or other authorities to seek assistance, compensation, and to gather personal belongings.
Investigators are working to determine the cause of the fire and whether negligence played a role. The bar is said to agree to cooperate with the investigation, and Thai officials announce additional safety measures. Thailand’s prime minister and other authorities vow a nationwide review or overhaul of entertainment venue regulations following the incident.
Overall, sources consistently cite a fast-moving fire at the same venue, a confirmed toll that increases from 30 to 32, ongoing medical care for injured people, and an investigation alongside new venue-safety commitments.
