Thai fire aftermath with survivors and family seeking compensation

Survivors and family members of victims of a deadly fire in Bangkok visited the police station on Wednesday to seek compensation and collect belongings.

The fire, which broke out on Sunday night at the Rong Beer Na Ladprao bar, killed at least 30 people and injured more than 70 others.

24 of those injured are currently in critical condition.

Nathan Lakhorn, a survivor of the fire, said he was sitting near the stage when the fire broke out.

He remembered seeing white smoke, which he initially thought was dry ice.

He then saw black smoke and flames.

Kanticha Singkhon, went to the police station to retrieve her mother's belongings.

Both her mother and her friend died in the fire.

She said she now has to look after her younger brother.

Kanticha also said she has to borrow money for her mom's funeral, since no one from the bar has reached out to her regarding compensation.

A lawyer for the bar owner said families of victims will get 10,000 baht, roughly 300 USD.

Police are continuing to search for what caused the fire.
