Thailand Bangkok bar fire kills 27

A massive fire broke out around midnight on July 12-13, 2026 at the Rong Beer Na Lat Phrao pub (also called Na Ladprao) in Bangkok's Chatuchak district, killing at least 27 people and injuring 63 others, 22 critically. The fire started near the stage area and spread rapidly, filling the venue with thick smoke. Many victims were found in restrooms at the back of the pub, with no fire escapes available. Firefighters brought the blaze under control in about 30 minutes. The cause is under investigation, with early reports indicating a possible electrical fault from a circuit breaker near the stage. The tragedy has revived concerns over fire safety at entertainment venues in Thailand, which has experienced similar deadly nightclub fires in the past, including the 2009 Santika nightclub fire that killed 66 people.
