Fire at a Bangkok pub kills 27 people and wounds 63

13 Jul 2026, 2:50 pm

A fire broke out at a pub in Chatuchak, Bangkok, Thailand. The fire killed 27 people. It wounded 63 more. The casualty figures were reported together with the location of the blaze.

Chatuchak is a district of Bangkok, Thailand's capital. A pub fire in a dense urban district can involve both patrons and people nearby, but the report does not separate deaths by role. It gives a single death toll of 27 and a wounded count of 63. No names of the victims are listed.

The cause of the fire is not stated. The report does not say whether the building had a sprinkler system, how many exits it had, or how quickly firefighters arrived. Those details would matter to an investigation. They are not part of the first casualty report.

A death toll of 27 makes the fire a mass-casualty incident rather than a small property fire. The wounded count of 63 is larger than the number of dead, which means many survivors needed care. The report does not say how many of the wounded were in critical condition. It stops at the two headline numbers.

No arrest or criminal charge is mentioned in connection with the blaze. No owner is named. The item is filed as a disaster, not as a completed legal case. Any finding about negligence would have to come from a later investigation that is not in this report.

Other deadly incidents were reported in the same week, including a Brussels construction fire that killed six workers and a gas-truck explosion in Nigeria that killed six. Those were separate events in other countries. The Bangkok figures remain 27 dead and 63 wounded at a pub in Chatuchak.
