Bangkok's Blazing Shame: A Deadly Fire Exposes Thailand's Flawed Safety Net The devastating fire at Rong Beer Na Lat Phrao bar in Bangkok has left a trail of heartbreak and outrage.
The tragedy has claimed 28 lives and injured over 70 people, highlighting the country's woefully inadequate safety measures.
This latest disaster bears an unsettling resemblance to other deadly entertainment venue fires in Thailand's recent past, including the 2009 blaze at Santika club during New Year celebrations that killed 67 people and injured more than 200.
