A survivor of the fire at a Bangkok bar that killed at least 27 people on Sunday night described escaping the blaze by seconds after she stepped out for a smoke.
“There was a boom – a very fast boom ... There was no way to get out at all,” 41-year-old Usa Tadsree told reporters, adding that her two friends died when the fire ripped through the Thai capital's popular Rong Beer Na Lat Phrao eatery in Chatuchak district at around midnight.
