Bangkok governor vows tighter regulations as pub fire death toll rises to 30

Police are investigating possible negligence and a suspected electrical fault as 75 people were injured and 24 remained in critical condition.

  • A fire at the Rong Beer Na Ladprao bar in Bangkok on July 12, 2026, killed 30 people and injured 75, including some critically.
  • The blaze started around 11:50 pm due to a probable electrical short circuit near the stage and spread rapidly because of highly flammable decorations and obstructed emergency exits.
  • Members of the Thai indie band Thotsakan were among the victims, with several members dying while the lead singer escaped.
  • Following the fire, authorities closed the building for 30 days during investigations and plan to review and tighten fire safety regulations for entertainment venues after the city's deadliest fire in 17 years.
