Around 70 others were injured in the blaze at a 50-year-old venue, according to the report, which said investigators were examining blocked exits and faulty wiring.

The death toll from a Bangkok bar fire rose to 30 as investigators opened a probe into the blaze, while one report said three wounded people later died and another said more than 70 were injured, including 24 in critical condition.

Officials said the blaze spread rapidly through a Bangkok bar late Sunday, killing at least 27 people and injuring dozens more.
