At least 27 people have died and another 22 are in critical condition following a fire at the Na Ladprao pub in Bangkok, Thailand, early Monday morning. The fire caused patrons to flee into the bathrooms at the back of the venue, where many victims were found. Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul reported that the blaze likely started near the stage due to a circuit breaker malfunction, which led to an explosion that spread flames rapidly. Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt announced that an inquiry will be conducted to determine if the venue adhered to safety regulations, noting that a table may have obstructed one of the fire exits. An investigation is ongoing, and 63 individuals were hospitalized as a result of the incident. Firefighters took approximately 30 minutes to control the blaze. Bangkok has a history of deadly fires, including a 2009 incident at a nightclub that resulted in 66 deaths.
