Goes to show that money can't buy you happiness. The happiest provinces aren't what you call economic powerhouses and at the same time probably have the a largely aging population. Maybe Krabians have the best seaviews to wake up with. Goes to show how moderation in what you have (and also politically) and how you live you life is key to a happier life.

One would have thought that all the rich and more well-off people (the 'Elites') are mostly living in BKK, so with that much of money and some even with power, they should come 1st as the most happiest people in Thailand (if not the world). Unfortunately not so ah. I wonder why?
