A blaze that tore through a packed Bangkok bar has killed at least 27 people and left nearly two dozen more in critical condition, with distraught friends and relatives on Monday dreading finding loved ones among the victims of the deadliest blaze to hit Thailand’s capital in over a decade.Images shared on social media of the inferno, which erupted late on Sunday night, show flames shooting out from the entrance of the Na Ladprao pub, in Chatuchak district, as patrons fled, some with their clothes alight.On the pavement outside, rescuers worked to resuscitate the injured, while dazed survivors staggered around the scene with bandages covering severe burns on their arms and legs.The bar was crowded with hundreds of revellers when the fire took hold. Charred tables, bar stools, a drum kit and an electric guitar left on stage bore scorched witness to the speed with which the flames swept through the venue, trapping panicked people in the bathrooms, where many of the bodies were later found.Forensic police officers investigate a fire in a Bangkok pub on Monday.
