A: Hey there! Heard something interesting about Thailand, you know?

B: Oh? What's up?

A: So, there's this woman who was arrested because she allegedly blackmailed Buddhist monks!

B: Blackmailed? Wow, that sounds serious. What did she do exactly?

A: She threatened to expose them if they didn't give her money and stuff, 'cause they were having affairs with her. It's crazy!

B: Whoa, that's not cool at all! And what's even more shocking is that there were nine monks involved in this mess!

A: Yeah, and get this - most of them have already left the monkhood because of it. Can you believe it?

B: Unbelievable indeed. I wonder how people in Thailand feel about it. Those rules about being celibate and not touching women are pretty strict, right?

A: Absolutely! It's causing quite a stir over there. But hey, let's hope things settle down soon!

In Thailand, a sex scandal involving allegations that several Buddhist monks were blackmailed over affairs with the same woman has led to her arrest.



Authorities say the 35-year-old is believed to have blackmailed the monks by threatening to expose them.
Based on evidence from video clips and chat messages, she's accused of helping them "commit wrongdoing," receiving stolen property, and money laundering.



Police say the woman has admitted having sexual relations with a total of nine monks and that they paid her off. Officials say most have already left the monkhood.
The scandal has inflamed public sentiment in Thailand, where Buddhist rules require monks to be celibate and even refrain from touching women.
