Thai authorities are investigating a deadly fire at a bar in Bangkok that killed at least 30 people and injured more than 70. Early findings suggest a short circuit in an air conditioner started the fire. Police said locked doors, blocked exits, and flammable decorations made it harder for people to escape. Many victims were found near the restrooms after trying to flee. Experts believe toxic smoke also caused many deaths. The bar was registered as a restaurant, so it did not have to use fire-resistant materials. Officials are now reviewing safety rules to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
