At least 27 killed in Bangkok beer hall fire, authorities say

A huge overnight fire at the Na Ladprao beer hall in Bangkok killed at least 27 people and injured dozens; firefighters brought the blaze under control after about 30 minutes.
Officials are probing a possible electrical fault near the stage and whether emergency exits were blocked or locked — many victims were found near the back bathrooms.
Musicians, passing scooter drivers and first responders tried to help; monks prayed at the scene and the city set up a registration point for relatives searching for victims.
