Bangkok Pub Fire Kills 27, Injures 70 in Southeast Asia's Deadliest Nightlife Venue Blaze in Years

A fire at the Rong Beer Na Lat Phrao pub in Bangkok's Chatuchak district killed at least 27 people and injured more than 70, with at least 25 critically wounded. The blaze erupted late Sunday. Thai police are investigating possible negligence, examining whether an electrical fault, blocked exits, or flammable foam used in construction enabled rapid spread. No cause has been confirmed. The casualty toll places this among Southeast Asia's deadliest nightclub fires in recent years.
