MEXICO CITY (AP) — The world's happiest people are not in Qatar, the richest country by most measures. They are not in Japan, the nation with the highest life expectancy. Canada, with its chart-topping percentage of college graduates, does not make the top 10.

A poll released Wednesday of nearly 150,000 people around the world says seven of the world's 10 countries with the most upbeat attitudes are in Latin America.

Thai people ranked fifth in the survey and first in Asia.

This information is out of sense. In october 2012, CNN published an other board:
http://travel.cnn.com/explorations/life/denmark-ousted-100-latest-worlds-happiest-country-561826
So, in 2 monthes Thai people won 15 ranks and became first in Asia... they were 20th in October and Vietnam 2th in the world.
