People pay their respects to victims of a fire in front of the Rong Beer Na Lat Phrao bar in Bangkok on July 14, 2026.
The death toll from a devastating Bangkok bar fire has risen to 32, authorities said on Wednesday, as Thailand pledged a nationwide overhaul of entertainment venue regulations.
The blaze tore through the popular Rong Beer Na Lad Phrao restaurant and bar on Sunday night, rapidly engulfing the venue.
Investigators have been looking at the cause of the fire and why it was so deadly, with many of the bodies found by the toilets.
In a video released by Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul's office of his visit to the scene, seen by AFP, he was told by an official that there were two functioning exit doors.
