Bangkok Bar Fire Leaves 30 Dead | Sacramento News

A horrific fire at Bangkok’s Rong Beer Na Ladprao bar has claimed 30 lives and left over 70 injured, with 24 in critical condition — the deadliest blaze in the city in 17 years. Flames engulfed the venue late Sunday night, trapping victims in smoke-filled bathrooms with no escape, as firefighters battled the blaze for 30 minutes. Authorities are investigating whether safety codes were ignored, citing potential hazards like flammable decor, poor ventilation, and the bar’s possible misclassification as a restaurant — which may have led to lax fire regulations. In the wake of the tragedy, Bangkok’s governor has ordered sweeping safety inspections and vowed stricter enforcement. Mourners continue to visit the charred site, leaving flowers and messages amid melted instruments and burnt furniture — a haunting reminder that safety isn’t just about rules, but about enforcing them.
