A fire that swept through a Bangkok pub in the early hours of Monday morning claimed the lives of at least 27 people, according to the Associated Press, which cited officials familiar with the situation.
Thailand’s Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul stated that the cause of the fire has not yet been determined and remains under active investigation, the AP reported.
While full details were not immediately available, reports from Sky News indicate the fire is believed to have originated at a pub located in Bangkok’s Chatuchak district.
Local media in Thailand identified the establishment as Rong Beer Na Lat Phrao, a venue that Sky News described as a popular gathering spot in the area.
