Footage shared online by first responders shows a huge blaze raging and plumes coming out of the front door of the Na Ladprao pub – also known as Rong Beer Na Lat Phrao, according to Thai media – in the Chatuchak district in the northern part of the capital.
A band member at the venue told local media that smoke suddenly filled the room after the lights briefly went out, followed by a massive explosion and fire.
“After the explosion I didn’t see anybody trying to run, most of them were on the floor asking for help,” he told reporters, his head still bandaged, without giving his name.
“I ran towards the door from the stage, about five metres. It was dark and there was smoke, no oxygen.”
