Report Thailand Ranked 7th Happiest Country in New Global Survey
Photo by Stefano Cicatiello from Studio SEA via Canva The Thai government has invited the public to celebrate Thailand's ranking as the seventh happiest country globally, according to a recent Ipsos survey. During a press conference on May 1, Anukool Pruksanusak, spokesperson for the Prime Minister’s Office, announced the positive news, highlighting Thailand's placement in the 2025 Global Happiness Index. The Ipsos survey, conducted with 23,765 participants under the age of 75 from 30 countries, took place between December 20 last year and January 3 this year. Thailand's ranking reflects a significant measure of national contentment, with 61% of respondents expressing themselves as "rather happy" and 18% as "very happy." Only 2% reported a lack of happiness, suggesting a generally positive mental state among the Thai populace. Thailand also ranks as the third happiest country in Asia, trailing only India and Indonesia, with Malaysia sharing the spot with Thailand. Singapore, Japan, and South Korea follow in the regional rankings. The global list is topped by India, with the Netherlands and Mexico also securing top positions. On the opposite end, Hungary, Türkiye, and South Korea were ranked as the least happy nations. Key contributors to happiness identified in the Ipsos report include strong family relationships, appreciation and love from others, and a sense of control over one’s life. Conversely, factors such as financial struggles, mental health issues, and general health problems detract from happiness. The survey also noted variations in happiness levels by age, with those over 70 reporting the highest happiness levels. Among Gen Z respondents, males reported higher happiness compared to females. Anukool underscored the Thai government's dedication to enhancing quality of life, underscoring efforts to improve public health services, ensure income security, and strengthen family ties as pathways to boost happiness. Interestingly, the Ipsos findings contrast markedly with the World Happiness Report released in March, which placed Thailand 49th globally based on Gallup World Poll surveys using criteria such as GDP per capita, social support, and perception of corruption. In that report, Singapore and Vietnam ranked higher among Southeast Asian countries, with Afghanistan listed as the least happy country globally. Despite differing methodologies and rankings, the Ipsos survey provides an optimistic view of happiness levels in Thailand, reflecting a nation's strengths and areas for improvement.

Report Cannabis Warning for Britons in Thailand: Leave It Behind or Risk Jail
Ok, and again little Richard is out correcting, telling people what they say and mean as well as how ridiculous there posts are. Yeah, of course, if the British embassy needs to go out tell people to wear sunscreen, that must mean they are too stupid to understand that themselves, or that their own embassy think they are. Can you tell me how you weaponize stupidity and then shoot yourself in the foot with it? I an truly amazed by how you can connect so many words into the discussion and make it sound so academic, without really deliver any information. Have you trained long time to get so professional? After that, we only have one more thing. What I write on an online forum, does not by any means tell what kind of person I am. For all you know, I could be posting this, just because I know how you will react. You are actually amusing me Richard. Keep up the good work. Let´s see what word salad you can create next time. See Ya! -
