Most of the people who were killed in a huge fire in a Bangkok music bar were found trapped in windowless bathrooms where they may have sought to escape the flames that claimed at least 30 lives, authorities said as investigations began.
The blaze at the Rong Beer Na Lat Phrao bar was the city’s deadliest in 17 years. It broke out late on Sunday in a northern part of the Thai capital, and firefighters needed half an hour to bring it under control. The fire left 24 people hospitalised in critical condition, city officials said.
