BANGKOK — A fire in Pattaya, the Thai seaside resort city southeast of Bangkok known for its racy nightlife, has badly damaged a large nightclub catering to Indian tourists, officials said Monday.

Thai police said Monday the death toll in a New Year's Eve nightclub fire has reached 64 after two of those injured died. The fire raced through the two-story Santika Club, engulfing many in flames.

Some foreigners said trying to tame Thai nightlife could hurt tourism. "This is probably the most ridiculous thing Thailand can do to itself," said Erik Bergsdorf, 35, a Danish tourist.
