Twist of irony as Cambodia is found to be the saddest country in Southeast Asia

Global analytics and advice firm Gallup measured the emotional states of people in more than 100 countries through extensive surveys. In one survey conducted from 2021 to early 2022, the global analytic firm recorded “yes,” “no” and “don’t know or refused to answer” responses from respondents aged 15 and older.

Gallup also found Cambodia to be the saddest country in Southeast Asia, with 42% of respondents saying they experienced sadness. The Philippines also ranks second in this category with 35% of respondents answering “yes,” while Vietnam comes in third with 27%. In the recent survey, respondents were asked about their emotions, including stress level, anger and sadness, the day before the survey was conducted.

Of the Filipino respondents, 48% said they experienced stress, the highest percentage among Southeast Asian nations. Thailand follows with 44% and Cambodia with 40% of respondents who also answered “yes.” In the category of anger, Laos takes the No. 1 spot with 29% of respondents saying they had felt angry prior to the survey. The Philippines ranks second with 27%. Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand and Myanmar followed at 20%.
