Thailand’s gross happiness index in May is at a satisfactory level thanks to the people’s feeling of love and loyalty for His Majesty the King.
ABAC Poll manager Noppadon Kannika (นภดล กรรณิกา) said Thailand scored 6.59 of the full 10 points on the gross happiness index, which was measured from satisfaction in the environment, housing, personal finances, education, natural resources, politics, physical health, mental health, culture and tradition and justice.
Mr. Noppadon said positive factors attributing to Thai people’s happiness included Thailand’s beautiful culture and tradition, help for each other during difficult time, unity of the people and love and loyalty for the King.
Negative factors ruining the feeling of happiness of Thai people included ethical problems concerning politicians, the government and independent organizations, lack of transparency and integrity and violations of freedom of the press, he said.
