Over 70 people were hurt when the fire started at the Rong Beer Na Ladprao bar on Sunday night. 24 of them are still very sick, says the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration.

This is the worst fire in Bangkok in 17 years. The bar said it could hold 600 people, but we don't know how many were there on Sunday. The bar is like a big beer hall.

The police are still trying to find out what caused the fire and if the bar followed safety rules. Many people who died were found in toilets with no windows, where they tried to escape the fire.

The governor of Bangkok, Chadchart Sittipunt, has ordered a check of all similar places to see if they are safe. The city will also make sure the laws are followed to improve safety.

A rescuer is seen inside the music bar.

Relatives of a victim pray in front of the bar in Bangkok.

People have left flowers and messages at the bar where the fire happened. They are showing respect for the victims and their families.

An engineer said the bar had some risks that could make a fire worse, like being closed in and having low ceilings.

The engineer also said that foam used for decoration might not have been safe from fire, and the bar had poor air ventilation, which could make the smoke deadly.

The bar was not considered an entertainment venue, so it didn't have to follow the same strict fire safety rules. This is because it was not in the right area for such businesses.

The engineer thinks there needs to be a big change in how fire safety is handled, and the law needs to be enforced better. He wants the government to explain how they will make sure the law is followed from now on.
