The BMA is inspecting entertainment venues in seven northern Bangkok districts for fire safety, escape routes, flammable decor and fabric, and licences. Between July 19 and Aug 4 it inspected 948 outlets: 209 passed, 632 needed fixes, and 107 were ordered to stop operating (30 for live music without a licence, 77 for licensing breaches involving music and food sales). If you run a bar, restaurant or venue with music, check your licence covers live music and food, clear exits, and replace flammable signage or stage fabric. Breaches can mean closure.
