Greek musician Yanni took time out of his current world tour to offer support for those impacted by the flood ravaged areas of Thailand. The internationally-renowned musician, who performed at the Impact Arena, Muang Thong Thani on Wednesday night (October 19), was so moved by the hardship facing the Thai people due to the flooding, that he wanted to help out and visit those affected.
