Ricky Martin is seeking solace and trying to absorb
the pain of seeing the dead bodies during his Thailand trip.
"I never thought I was going to see something intense like
that. I met people who know what death is; they are happy
right now every time they inhale. I never felt and saw such
pain," Femalefirst quoted Ricky as saying. The Latin pop
star was shocked by the horrible things he saw in tsunami-struck
Thailand while filming a documentary for Oprah Winfrey's
daytime TV show. Martin has been a long time advocate for
children's charities and has decided to build 600 homes
for 600 orphans as his personal help. Martin is looking
forward to remember good things of the Thai trip but it's
still very difficult for him to get past the images of crude
reality of death.
