The blaze broke out on Aug 5 at Mountain B Club in Chonburi province - roughly 150km southeast of Bangkok. Authorities found 13 charred bodies inside the venue.
Seven others have since died from their injuries, with the latest fatality a 50-year-old man, the Chonburi provincial public health office said.
All the victims were Thai nationals.
There are 25 injured who are still receiving medical treatment in hospitals, with nine on ventilators, the local health authority said.
Flammable acoustic foam on the walls of the club accelerated the blaze and it took firefighters more than three hours to bring it under control.
A Chonburi province senior police officer confirmed on Saturday (Aug 20) that the club owners, a father and son, have been charged with causing death through recklessness and operating a pub without a licence.
"They could face more charges related to building safety and social security of employees," he told AFP.
Both have been released on bail by the local court, he said.
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha has ordered an investigation into the tragedy.
