Bangkok Pub Fire Kills Dozens

A massive fire at a packed nightclub in Bangkok's Chatuchak district killed at least 32 people and injured more than 70, making it one of Thailand's deadliest venue fires in recent memory.

Authorities said emergency exits may have been obstructed and that victims were found trapped in windowless bathrooms as flames rapidly engulfed the building.

The tragedy has prompted urgent calls for stricter enforcement of fire safety regulations in Bangkok's thriving nightlife district.

Investigators are probing whether criminal negligence contributed to the catastrophic loss of life, as witnesses described desperate attempts to escape the burning building.
