Police in the Mekong Delta province of Tien Giang said Saturday they had arrested a gay man who blackmailedÂ the chief monk of a local pagoda with a film of having sex with theÂ former, online newspaper Dan Tri reported.

The chief monk of Phuoc Son Pagoda in Chau Thanh District, whose nameÂ has not beenÂ released, had been in a homosexual relationship with Nguyen Thai Hoa, 23, for a long time, police said.

They said that on December 28, 2011, Hoa filmedÂ the act ofÂ havingÂ sex with the monk. He then asked the monk to give him VND200 million, failing which he would expose their relationship.

The monk promised to pay him and informed the local police about the blackmail attempt.

On January 21, police arrested Hoa when he came to the pagoda to receive the money.

Police are investigating the case further.

They say "

“I can’t say what made me fall in love with Vietnam - that a woman’s voice can drug you; that everything is so intense. The colors, the taste, even the rain. Nothing like the filthy rain in London. They say whatever you’re looking for, you will find here. They say you come to Vietnam and you understand a lot in a few minutes, but the rest has got to be lived. The smell: that’s the first thing that hits you, promising everything in exchange for your soul. And the heat. Your shirt is straightaway a rag. You can hardly remember your name, or what you came to escape from. But at night, there’s a breeze. The river is beautiful. You could be forgiven for thinking there was no war; that the gunshots were fireworks; that only pleasure matters. A pipe of opium, or the touch of a girl who might tell you she loves you. And then, something happens, as you knew it would. And nothing can ever be the same again.”

Tips on Travel to Vietnam

It's always warm in Southeast Asia apart from high mountains, so leave the heavy clothing at home. Cotton and breathable fabrics are always better than synthetics -- although cotton does wrinkle a lot when traveling! December through April is roughly the dry season in that region, although it can still rain a little. December is a good time to go in terms of temperature -- cooler than in the humid summertime. Either way, wearing more clothing (shirt sleeves and long pants) is always more respectful towards the Asian culture, especially when visiting temples and rural areas.
