In connection with the incident, Thailand has also promised a review of fire regulations for entertainment venues.

The fire spread quickly in the premises and it appears that the emergency exits were poorly marked. It is possible that one of the emergency exits was also blocked or even locked.

More than 70 people are still being treated for injuries after the fire, a dozen of them with critical injuries.
