Police investigating the deadly Na Ladprao beer hall fire are looking into whether the exits were properly marked, positioned and maintained after 28 people died.

National police chief Pol Gen Kittharath Punpetch said the Rong Beer Na Ladprao beer hall was a one-storey building facing onto Lat Phrao Road and there were twin doors.
