A fire at the Rong Beer Na Ladprao bar in Bangkok killed at least 27 people, the city's deadliest in 17 years.
Most victims were found trapped in windowless bathrooms near a rear exit; access may have been blocked by a candy table or darkness.
National Police Chief Kittharath Punpetch said exit doors might have been locked, and a ceiling above the stage is being investigated for flammable materials.
Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt stated most deaths were caused by smoke inhalation; 73 people were injured according to Erawan emergency services.
