Fire at Bangkok Pub Kills At Least 27 People

Officials said 63 people were injured and 22 were in critical condition as investigators examined blocked exits and a possible electrical fault.

  • On Monday, a massive fire engulfed a pub in Bangkok, killing at least 27 people, according to officials. Thailand Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul visited the scene and confirmed the death toll.
  • The fire was reported around midnight, and firefighters required about half an hour to bring the blaze under control. Footage shared by first responders showed thick black smoke pluming into the sky as people fled.
  • Photos from the scene show charred tables and chairs and the damaged interior of the pub. Emergency services personnel recovered mobile phones belonging to victims, while the cause remains under investigation.
  • This incident follows a fatal fire in 2022, when 14 people were killed by a fire at a music pub in the eastern part of Thailand. The pattern reflects recurring fire safety challenges.
  • Thailand has experienced similar events, including a 2009 New Year's Eve fire at the Santika nightclub that killed 66 people and injured more than 200, apparently sparked by an indoor fireworks display.
