Bangkok: Thailand is ranked 7th among the happiest countries in the world, according to this year's IPSOS survey. The survey shows that most Thais are "fairly happy". The government is moving forward to improve the quality of life and promote well-being at all ages.

According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Anukul Prueksanusak, spokesman of the Prime Minister's Office, revealed that Ipsos, a global market research company, has reported the 2025 World Happiness Index, stating that Thailand is ranked 7th among the happiest countries. From a survey of 23,765 people in 30 countries, all under the age of 75, conducted between December 20, 2024, and January 3, 2025, the survey divided the happiness level into four levels: very happy, quite happy, unhappy, and not happy at all. It was found that only 2 percent of Thais said they were "not happy at all," reflecting the quality of life and mental state of Thais as a whole, which remains at a good level.

Considering only the group of seven Asian countries surveyed, Thailand is ranked 3rd in terms of the happiest country, after India (ranked 1st) and Indonesia (ranked 2nd). The survey results for Thailand found that 18 percent of the population said they were very happy, 61 percent were somewhat happy, 19 percent were not happy, and only 2 percent said they were not happy at all. Countries with similar happiness levels to Thailand include Malaysia, which is ranked the same, followed by Singapore and Japan in 4th place, and South Korea in 5th place.

Mr. Anukul said that the survey results also identified three main factors that promote people's happiness: spending time with family and children, being accepted and loved by others, and being able to control their own lives. At the same time, factors that reduce happiness levels include financial problems, mental health problems, and overall health problems. In terms of age groups, it was found that those aged 70 and above were the happiest group. In addition, the research results also found that in the Generation Z group, males had higher happiness levels than females in the same age group.

'The government realizes the importance of people's quality of life in all dimensions and is ready to move forward with improving public health services, creating income security, and promoting family relationships so that Thais can enjoy their lives, including pushing policies to promote sustainable well-being, especially among the working-age population and the elderly,' said Mr. Anukul.
