In the investigation into the fire at an entertainment venue in Bangkok that killed dozens, serious security deficiencies were identified. Closed escape routes, lack of fire-preventive materials, and suspected unauthorized modifications are among the main factors that magnified the scale of the disaster. According to the Bangkok Post newspaper, the death toll has risen to 32, while more than 70 people were injured.
The incident occurred on Sunday evening while a live music performance was taking place inside the venue. Most of the panicked customers fled towards the toilets at the back of the building; however, they got trapped there because the emergency exits on that side were blocked by a dessert stall and shelves. Initial findings indicate that the fire may have started from a short circuit in an air conditioner above the ceiling.
Authorities are also investigating allegations that the venue's staff deliberately locked some exits to prevent customers from leaving without paying their bills. Additionally, it is being investigated whether the business, despite only having a restaurant license, was operating illegally as an entertainment venue.
