Death toll from Bangkok pub fire rises to 30 as police probe safety lapses

By Tuesday morning, Bangkok's Chatuchak district office put the death toll at 30, with 75 people injured — 24 in critical condition.

As Bangkok kicks-off an investigation into a fire in a bar last Sunday, three people among the wounded have died.

Thai police are investigating whether negligence caused a pub fire that killed at least 28 people.

The blaze at the Rong Beer Na Ladprao bar, the city’s deadliest in 17 years, broke out late Sunday in a northern part of the Thai capital.
