The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) is boosting safety inspections at Khao San Road night entertainment venues in a bid to increase tourist safety.
Greater public attention to such venues’ safety standards comes after a blaze earlier this month engulfed the Mountain B pub in Chon Buri’s Sattahip district, killing 19 people.
Bangkok deputy governor Tavida Kamolvej on Tuesday told media that the move is part of a broader effort to ensure safety standards are maintained in venues across the city.
