At least 13 people were killed and 41 others injured after a fire swept through a nightclub in Chonburi province in south-eastern Thailand early morning today(August 05).
The blaze broke out around 1:00 am (18:00 GMT Thursday) at the Mountain B nightspot in Chonburi province’s Sattahip district, about 150 kilometres (90 miles) south of Bangkok, an official from the Sawang Rojanathammasathan Rescue Foundation told AFP on condition of anonymity.
Video footage posted by the rescue service showed desperate revellers fleeing the club screaming, their clothes ablaze, as a huge fire rages in the background.
Rescuers say flammable material on the walls may have exacerbated the blaze.
