Bangkok Bar Fire: Negligence or Accident | Global News

A Bangkok bar erupted in flames, killing at least 28 and injuring dozens, as investigators uncover a deadly mix of negligence and hazardous materials. Survivors say locked doors, blocked exits, and no emergency signage trapped patrons during the blaze, which may have been sparked by a short circuit—but worsened by flammable decorations like plastic flowers and foam. The venue, legally classified as a restaurant, avoided stricter fire codes, raising urgent questions about safety regulations. Compounding the tragedy, the owner previously lost another business to fire in 2019—this time, lives were lost. Authorities are now reviewing building and decoration rules citywide.
