Fire kills 30 at Bangkok pub in deadliest blaze since 2007

At least 30 people have died after a fire broke out at a pub in Bangkok, Thailand, early on Monday morning. The Rong Beer Na Ladprao venue is one of the city's popular nightlife spots. Officials believe an electrical fault in a ceiling air conditioner started the blaze. This is the deadliest fire in Bangkok in 17 years. Police are investigating possible negligence. One emergency exit was not used during the fire, and investigators think a candy stall may have blocked it, or it was too dark for people to find. The pub's management has apologised to the families of victims and said it will work with investigators.
