Ricky Martin left for Thailand on Monday night to visit tsunami victims and Thai officials. “He’s going to be visiting shelters and he’s meeting with the Thai foreign minister and interior minister, as well as various ambassadors, to raise awareness in the trafficking of children,” the singer’s representative told The New York Daily News.

“Ricky has been very active in fighting child abuse and child trafficking in Latin America and he wants to see what his foundation can do to help and to raise awareness in Thailand.”
