...and the pursuit of happiness.

Bangkok losing its smile - www.bangkokrecorder.com: "Thailand's gross happiness index fell in July, with Bangkok residents the least happy. The Assumption University Social Innovation Research Centre survey shows overall happiness dropping to just 5.02 points. Bangkok residents scored just 3.71 out of a possible 10 points. The Northeast scored 5.13, those in Central Thailand recorded a happiness factor of 5.08, while those in the North registered 4.93 and the South 4.33. More than one in every 10 people said politics generated disputes with neighbours and colleagues. 'The current situation has made people rather unhappy,' said Centre director Noppadon Kannika."
