Bangkok bar fire: How flammable decor, lax rules turned the venue into a death trap

Thai authorities say a combination of factors — including flammable decor and lax safety oversight — contributed to the severity of the bar fire in Bangkok's Chatuchak district that claimed at least 30 lives on Sunday (Jul 12). One expert said flammable material lining the venue's ceiling allowed the blaze to send thermal energy in all directions, causing the fire to "outrun the people who were trying to flee". #bkk #bangkok #thailandnews #thailand
