I had not used my camera for about one week. I opened it up to change the position of the batteries-I store one battery upside down so it will not turn on when not being used.There was (AA) battery leakage. I looked with a flashlight and it appeared that it was just on the top terminals.

I cleaned the battery mess with a combination of vinegar and water as directed on several Internet sites. Initially the camera worked so I could take 3 pictures and then the camera died. Changing batteries did not work. I had the university photographer look at it. He does not speak any English but what he did was check the resistance of the battery terminals. The top battery terminal plates gave a full resistance (all the way to the right on the meter). The inner battery compartment terminal plates did not show any resistance (zero on the meter).

Can these plates be replaced? or am I SOL?

      22 Hospitalised from Food Poisoning at Prachinburi School

      Picture courtesy of Thai Rath Twenty-two individuals from Prachin Kallayanee School in Prachinburi were hospitalised due to severe vomiting and stomach pains, primarily after consuming chicken rice from the school's canteen. On the afternoon of 9th June 2025, rescue workers received reports of a food poisoning incident at Prachin Kallayanee Secondary School in Prachinburi's Mueang District. Students reportedly experienced intense stomach pain and vomiting following lunch. Emergency services transported 22 affected individuals – 14 students and 1 teacher – to Chao Phraya Abhaibhubejhr Hospital and 7 to the Military Camp Hospital. Medical teams provided urgent treatment, including hydration and monitoring symptoms. While some parents took their children home after treatment, others remained hospitalised for observation. Mr Chanathip Khokmani, Deputy Governor of Prachinburi, along with local officials, visited the hospital to support the parents and students. Initial findings suggest the cause may be the chicken rice consumed at lunchtime, described by students as noticeably wet but otherwise typical in taste. Ms Dokmai, the canteen vendor, asserted that the food preparation followed hygiene standards, as practised for 15-16 years, and doubted the food's involvement. The authorities are investigating the food's quality, and the public health department has been tasked with examining the school's food handling procedures. While the situation is reportedly under control, with home permissions granted to several students, further investigations are underway to ensure student safety and address food safety protocols in local schools.

      Bangkok’s Roads Are a Bloody Joke Now — Mates, It’s a Crime Scene Out There

      Lads, can someone tell me when exactly Bangkok’s roads turned into a warzone? No, seriously, when did the streets go from smooth silk to pothole bingo? Used to be, ten years back, I’d take the harken Fireblade out late at night, Bangkok all lit up, cool breeze, empty streets, mate, it was high-speed poetry. Proper freedom. You could tear it up from World Trade to Bang Na, lean into the corners like Rossi, not a care in the world. Midnight Bangkok on two wheels? Pure bliss. Now? All you got left is Rama 9 and Vibhivadee, barely. Otherwise, it's like riding through a scrapyard blindfolded. Every single road’s been dug up, patched, dug up again, patched again, repeat that about fifty times, but no one ever bothered to actually repave the thing. It’s just holes patched with more holes. You’re not riding anymore, you’re surviving. Suspension’s screaming, rims getting buckled, and don’t get me started on the manhole covers sitting two inches above the tarmac like they’re out here doing parkour. I don’t know who’s running the show, BMA and city planning must’ve been handed over to someone’s cousin’s mate who’s never seen a road in his life. Used to be you could cruise at 3 AM, nothing but you, the hum of the engine, and the city lights stretching ahead like a runway. Now? Every hundred meters there’s a trench like they’re about to lay fiber optics straight to the center of the Earth. What happened to the pride in the roads, eh? Thailand’s got some of the craziest bikers in the world as it is and now they’re stuck dodging potholes like playing hopscotch on acid. It’s embarrassing. The bikes deserve better, we deserve better. Bangkok used to be a nighttime playground for riders, now it’s a demolition derby for scooters with bald tires. I swear, if I hit one more raised drain cover, I’m writing a strongly worded letter to someone’s mum. Sort it out, Bangkok.

      Ubon Ratchathani Woman Arrested Over Fake News on Thai-Cambodian Border

      Picture courtesy of Thai Rath Cyber police have detained a woman from Ubon Ratchathani for disseminating fake news about tensions on the Thai-Cambodian border, causing public alarm. At a press conference on 9th June 2025, police revealed that a Facebook user, "Lucky Farm," posted false information regarding border disputes, claiming explosions and military casualties which led to evacuation orders. These claims, while untrue, had garnered significant attention and could potentially threaten national security. The investigation, led by Police Colonel Arunphan Vanichanun, identified the suspect as 32-year-old Ms Piranunya from Ubon Ratchathani. A warrant for her arrest was issued by Khon Kaen Provincial Court, charging her with uploading false data to a computer system, potentially damaging national security. Upon arrest at her residence, Ms Piranunya admitted to posting the misleading content. She claimed she acted based on social media information, influenced by her preconceived biases regarding the disputes, without intent to profit. She has been handed over to the authorities for legal proceedings. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai Rath 2025-06-10
